The flavor of this pie is DOMINATED by the cheese blend. Shredded mootz, pecorino romana, sprinkles of Parmesan and what appears to be a white spot of melted buffala mozzarella, gives this pizza a super cheesy taste. So much so, it overpowers the sauce which comes off as a bit salty and a bland tomato paste. Even the chopped basil and olive oil struggles to bring out the flavor of the sauce which could use more spices & garlic. For a thin crust pie, it’s actually a bit doughy. It also doesn’t have that signature taste you find in bread or dough made with Hoboken water. While the crust has decent crisp, it could definitely be crispier. Overall, it’s not a bad pie; I just expected better. Spice up the sauce and crisp up the dough and you could be looking at high 7s, low 8s.
