My Favorite Pizza Place

This place has a name that screams ribeye level arrogance but the execution of this pizza is at the level of top sirloin, so that's one knock against them. The second knock is that they make $8.00 for 2 slices and a water seem like a special, but it's just the average price at most spots, with that being said the slice was as thin as the napkin, the cheese has good flavor, the sauce was decent but too little of it and the crust was tasteless as a rice cake. This pizza is passable, but not noteworthy.

Went here Sunday where they do 1/2 off your slice just to try, right before Calabria down the road. Both slices were right in line with the average I expect. First off, thin large slices. Reminds me of a Bronx style. I liked that. Browned and black leoparding on the underside, thin but the slices holds up, and was pretty crispy as another plus. Minuses were it was greasy, probably also because of the reheat, and didn’t have enough (or tasty enough) sauce. It’s partly a stylistic thing, but I get the sense its straight from the can sauce not much seasoned. Other thing to mention? I did like the amount of mozzarella, which wasn’t too much. It’s just the normal low moisture mozzarella probably full fat type that most places use. No oregano or basil to add to the flavor either. Anyway, worst score I’ve given in this area was surprisingly the wood fired pizzeria, Novacento/901 Wood Burning Kitchen and Bar, because multiple slices of their whole NY style pie collapsed on me and you can tell it was average tasting anyway. This beats that easily. But it barely stands out in this style either. I’d be happy to eat this slice. But in this Bronx style I’d slightly prefer Amici’s in Peekskill, think Paradise in Verplanck is better, and if you want a really crispy but similar widely thin, light sauce but saucier pie, go to Johnny’s in Mount Vernon.

It was good, Until I got to the end crust all I could taste is sweet straight out of can tomato sauce. And it needed salt, like I said it was very sweet and something about the crust was off and sweet.

It’s my first pizza review in about 10 months - a true travesty. Anyway this has been my second ever drive-thru pizza experience (shout out to Nesto’s in the W P). This was set up with the passenger window lining up with the restaurant window (how it was originally set up) so they use a big pizza oven paddle to exchange the payment/pizza items through the car. I enjoyed interacting with the oven paddle during my transaction. But let’s talk pizza. It’s missing something as the overall flavor came off as plain. Wish there was a little more sauce. Cheese and crust were ok. No flop. Decent football pizza but you can do better. Good in a pinch because of the drive thru factor (it’s still a pizza parlor so it’s not a quick as say, a McDonald’s). That’s a review, happy holidays.

Underwhelming Football slice! Super thin, Medium flop, zero sauce, zero salt. The entire slice tasted like warm bread and nothing else. The Mozzarella has no flavor. One of the least impressive slices I’ve ever had.

Very basic pizza here. First thing I noticed before even taking a bite was how thin it was which I like.
