Served New York Knicks warm in just over 60 seconds with zero Midland Abe crisp and a hard Kearny flop.
First Bite Score: 6.4
The sauce is wham bam canned my man. The unpleasant metallic tinge and hard tang make this sauce barley palatable. The mozzarella is super high quality with awesome chew and balanced salinity. They should think of serving the slice on a plate and skip the effort of cooking the dough for what seemed to be around a minute or two. The dough had zero positive features AT ALL!!! The weirdest part of the slice was how near perfect the crust was. Light, airy and crunchy. I don’t understand the physics behind an undercarriage with absolutely no char and a wonderful crust.
SUB SCORE: 5.4
SAUCE: no thank you!
MOZZARELLA: I’m confused by the fact that the mozzarella was sooooo good I almost inhaled the slice but it is acting as a warm blanket over a pile of crap.
DOUGH: I’ll keep the crust, they can keep the rest.
Summary: when I first walked in the man behind the counter looked reluctant to help me (now I know why). The balance of this slice is the strangest I have ever had. This is the definition “one step forward, two steps back”. Combine the huge flop, poor ratio, bad sauce and it being Luke warm at best and you get a giant mess.
Final Score…
