đPHILLYâs FINEST ALERTđ For a city not really known for their pizza, there are few foods here that will make me forgo a cheesesteak; this spectacular pizza is one of them. Coming into the review with bridled enthusiasm, this pie blew away my mild expectations. I opted for the circle over the square cause thatâs more my style and I didnât regret it one bit. This turned out to be a texture meets taste extravaganza. The dough is solidly firm, minimal flop, unbelievable undercarriage with a tantalizingly tasty smokey flavor generated by the great char. This leads to a light & airy, otherworldly, exquisitely crispy and crunchy crust, the super star of the pie. Iâve never looked more forward to getting to the bottom of a slice in my life. I wish the rest of the pie was as crispy as the crust. The cheese blend is tight with fantastic sharp flavor, complimenting the dough perfectly with plenty of bite, enhanced by the shredded parm or pecorino Romano sprinkled on top. The sauce is thick and tangy, zesty with plenty of zip, lacking in sweetness and signature taste but packed with flavor. Not quite as tasty as the dough and cheese but high quality nonetheless. All of the ingredients work in perfect harmony, accentuated by the elite crispness of the crust. Iâm not sure about the squares; but I can vouch for the circles as must-try pizza. If youâre looking to place an order, you have to do it online because they donât have any phones at this joint. Then, in typical peak pandemic process pizza ordering, you can pick up your pie at the takeout window when they text you itâs ready. All in all, these sensational slices are worth making a pilgrimage to Philly for; just try not to fill up on soft pretzels and cheesesteaks while youâre there.
