OK piece a review time. I’m here at perfect pizza in North Bergen. Interesting spot. Dave gave this a huge score so I had to check it out. I’m not sure what all the hype was about. The inside was desolate. I walked in and thought that it was closed or I was gonna get whacked like the scene in Goodfellas when they take Tommy to the house. When you first walk in there’s tables and really bad 80s decor and if you venture to the back, there’s a little hidden nook with a Pizza oven… But no pizza on display but they had empanadas….. it’s screamed bad bodega…. Anyway onto the pizza. The one really positive thing I can say is that the dough was really really good. Airy and crisp. Nice char and taste…. The rest of the Pizza lacked some things ….the cheese was good but the pie was very oily. The tomato sauce was very bland and watery so when you fold a slice the cheese separated from the Dough…. I’m giving it a 7.5 because the dough was that good. If it had better sauce, ingredients and cheese on that it would’ve been fantastic…. Thats the review

Established in 1985, this joint has a name that leaves a lot to live up to, setting an extremely high bar. Ballsy & a bit braggadocious, they actually back it up with some damn fine pizza pie. This is classic, quintessential, New York style plain cheese pizza in New Jersey. With an astounding aroma, that was the first indicator this pie would be terrific. Fairly firm with a surprisingly soft texture, the dough has modest crisp & slight crunch, with quality char on the undercarriage & crust. Delightfully light & thin, the crust is the star of the pie, with outstanding taste & texture. Sharing the Hudson River boarder, maybe that water is the secret to making great dough in this area. A rather standard shredded mozzarella blend, the cheese is marvelously melty, with a creamy consistency & fantastic flow. Mostly tasty overall, the mozz is just a smidge salty from the moderately manageable grease. Not overly sweet or terribly tangy, the sauce is light & subdued with classic tomato taste & just enough seasoning to make an impact. Despite the lack of zest & zing, the sauce delivers a truly delicious pizza flavor in a subtle manner. All in all, this is a real pizza’s pizza, with the ingredients working in perfect harmony to great an incredibly solid pie that rivals the NYC slices across the river. If you’re looking to avoid bridges, tunnels, buses & trains going into the big scary city, this pizza is a fantastic substitute without venturing into the Big Apple. Travel-worthy as is, a crispier dough could launch this pie into the upper 8s & flirt with low 9s. Simple pizza, not exactly perfect, but simply great.

Got three small pies to try a few different toppings, all well done. Outstanding! Right up my alley.
