Don Pepi Pizza

Extreme wolf 🐺 NY 🏙️ City non-pedigreed lowly rated pizza alert You could argue having been to Times Square tonight I could do better, however, Manhattan pizza is profoundly overrated, so I can go anywhere. So Happy Juneteenth, and thanks to Living Colour for a great show, let’s get to it… Ratio - perfect, zero issue Execution- perfect baking, reasonable taste Dough- incredibly, for a dump, really good. I don’t get it. They can’t possibly make it fresh. Perfect taste and crunch. The tiniest hint of salt. Rarely is dough good. This is quite nice Sauce- adequate. No sweetness, a bit of hotness from red pepper, but not super high quality. Maybe a hair below average. Too much oregano Cheese- perfect chew, but extremely standard football pizza mix of cheese that is very neutral in taste MLK said… and was repeated in Living Colour’s Cult of Personality… “We’re going to talk right down to earth, in a language that everyone here can easily understand.” So to keep it simple, this is as good as you’ll find in non-pedigreed, average Manhattan pizza. Nothing on this island compares to Brooklyn. I have only a tiny handful of supposedly good places to hit before I officially rule Manhattan nonsense compared to Brooklyn and New Haven. Even Philly is comparable to Manhattan and it’s not even good. I guess you could do better within a twenty block radius, and so what. There’s still nothing special. You want world class pizza, skip Manhattan and go to Brooklyn. Perfect for Jets fans after a night of drunken talk about Joe Namath and how big that Super Bowl upset was fifty years ago In a nutshell, I can’t find any faults in this slice. And yet it’s still average.

Serviceable….

Good, football pizza. Sauce isn’t bad and no real flop. Cheese is good and the crust has good flavor.

Sauce was actually good. Slice was floppy and too greasy. End crust was good.

Not a bad slice. The sauce is a little too tangy for me, and the cheese is pretty flavorless. Good undercarriage, crisp.

big vibes. decent drunk pizza and cheap beer. can’t beat it heading back to jersey.

Hungry off the train pizza

Fresh mozzarella, vodka, and pesto slice for a pit stop in NYP.

Late night train score. Usually stronger but the slice was undercooked. Had the makings of of a solid slice but failed on final execution. Tasted rushed and underwhelming.

They should be glad I was starving… otherwise 2.6… Don Poopy

This place is a 10 when you’re drunk

So I know it wasn’t sitting around, because I witnessed the lie come out of the oven. But this was stale tasting with no flavor. Kinda disappointing for a NY pizza spot.

Took a day trip to Manhattan - this was the only pizza I got. Boy do I regret it, much prefer pizza in Florida, and that’s saying something. If you have the time, wander out of Penn Station and get a real New York slice.

Zero sauce and the cheese tasted like it came out of the microwave. Held this to slightly higher standards being that it’s under three hours until puck drop of Game 2 of the ECF upstairs.

Slightly above average slice not a bad eat waiting for your train

Not great. Floppy and greasy, bring back Rose’s

This is not bad at all for train station pizza. It wasn’t amazing, but the cheese was good and the crust was very crisp. Solid 6.3/10 here. Dave scored this way too low.

To me it’s the quintessential New York slice experience. Fast, busy, maybe rather the quintessential commuter slice is more appropriate. 6.5 on the plain, 7.5 grandma hence 7.0
