Pizza Review
Served Nikola Jokić 🔥 in 10-12 minutes (had to order like Davey Pageviews) with a hard Linden Ave crisp and a slight Linden R.R. Station flop. First Bite Score: 8.0 The sauce is what other sauces dream of at night. Other sauces brag to their friends saying “I’m going to taste like like Linwood Inn’s sauce when I grow up. Damn near perfect if not for the overwhelming amount of FRESH oregano. The mozzarella is of ultra premium status with great salinity and well above average chew. The dough is decadent while remaining paper cut thin and fully cooked through. This is harder to accomplish on slightly thicker doughs. Undercarriage is impecable with the pro cornmeal enhancement. The ratio is sent from heaven, if heaven was fashioned after Napoli, Italia. The trio of ingredients seemed to work in concert with one another resulting in a wonderfully composed symphony of flavor, texture and execution. SUB SCORE: 8.4 SAUCE: flat out impecable, the only subtraction is for the overpowering fresh oregano. I applaud the fact they use fresh oregano but wish there was a tad more restraint. The viscosity is top class and the flavor is unmatched. MOZZARELLA: Superbad with great salinity and even better chew. If I had to bet, from the texture of the mozzarella, it is most likely made from scratch. DOUGH: The dough is magnificently constructed. The gluten is beautifully worked / cooked giving way to a masterful undercarriage and crust. The cornmeal bottom really ties the other elements together. RATIO: The ratio is what is taught at Pizza School. Totally brilliant. Summary: to wit: I ate three slices. This means that there was so much going on I had to keep eating to properly score this pizza. There is not many negative things to say about this place. The atmosphere is impeccable and the pizza matches. I’d lessen the oregano (which is only overpowering during the first few seconds of each bite) and nothing else. Maybe adjust the thickness but that’s about it. Service, wait time and finale result are all well above par. If you live within 30 minutes of this place, you should be here at least 12x a year. Final Score…
