Astoria Pizza Factory

I really like the look of this pie, and look scores points with me. Eye appeal = buy appeal is what I always say. Grabbed a slice a cheese and it folded perfectly in half - no grease drip and no megaflop. Took a bite and liked how the cheese broke off rather than being stringy or rubbery. Very good texture. Nice crisp crust that gave good (but not excellent) flavor. The sauce was just a tiny bit sweet for my taste. Again, good, not great. I’m surprised by some of the low scores for this place. But also I’m a bit of a rookie as this is my first NY style pizza from NY. That said, I’ve probably eaten more pizza than the average joe in my life, and I know a good slice. This is a good one, 8.1 - that’s a review
