Established in 1987, this joint has been a staple among Fair Lawn pizzerias for quite a while. Serving surprisingly thinnish football pizza, shockingly lacking crisp, with a firm but soft texture overall. The dough is more bland than tasty, delightfully light & thin but in need of serious crisping. Thicker than a bar pie with a remarkably firm undercarriage given the softness of the dough, virtually void of char & crunch. Even the thinnish crust packs no crisp or crunch. The cheese is a mostly generic basic blend of shredded mozzarella, melted well with a somewhat standard flavor & orange tinge from the excess oil, along with manageable grease drippage. Slightly more savory than sweet, the sauce is also light but substantial enough to provide a distinctive taste. Not particularly zesty or zingy, the sauce has enough seasoning to have a presence. More mundane than subpar, the lack of pizzazz leaves the sauce a bit flat. Overall, the collective ingredients don’t make much of a statement; but a crispier pie would help every attribute of this pizza shine brighter. As is, this pie is a thin crust football pizza without crunch, just barely below average with realistic potential based on a few adjustments to score in the 7s. I love the thinness, hate the mushy texture; but this pizza is not a lost cause.
