O'Scugnizzo Pizzeria

I dunno. I tried so hard to love this but I couldn’t. Sorry. I respect the history (2nd oldest pizza place in the United States) and their dedication to their original way of making it but this pizza wasn’t my style at all. An upside down pizza starting with the dough, toppings (pepperoni, in this case), cheese and then the sauce and topped with Parmesan. Dough was way too hard (could have chipped a tooth biting into this), the sauce was too salty for my liking and reminded me more of a pasta sauce and this got cold rather quickly. Oh! I talked to a local who said they switched from fresh dough to pre-baked shells and quality just hasn’t been the same since. Not sure when this happened, but I can absolutely see this being a lot better with a fresher dough. I still don’t think I’d be crazy about this sauce, though. They’ve been in business for over 100 years so they’re obviously doing something right and I don’t want to trash a pizza just because it wasn’t my preference. I hope everyone likes this but I didn’t.
