Prince Street Pizza

I’ve lived on both coasts, and the Midwest. In the 5 years I’ve lived in NYC, the main issue for me has (shockingly) been finding decent pizza. Prince Street is “famous” for their pepperoni and spicy sauce. I put famous in quotes, because this exact style of pizza is extremely common in the Midwest (Detroit, St Louis, KC). By US standards, this is average at best. Sauce reminds me of Pizza Hut spicy. Pepperoni is the mid-grade kind you would buy at a grocery store in any Midwestern city. I have had 100x better pepperoni. For NYC, however, this is about as good of pepperoni as you’ll get. NYC is well known for having subpar (to nonexistent) meat selections, due to the hassle of importing it here from the middle of the country. I will say it is the best pepperoni in NYC, but by US standards, meh. Somewhat reminds me of an elevated version of Red Barron. Cheese… well, look at the picture. There is no cheese. I guess that was too expensive to import as well. And I would understand all of this — except the slice cost $6! $6 for subpar pepperoni on a slightly elevated Red Barron frozen person pizza? Silliness. This pizza was served cold and the location didn’t even try to warm it up, so that didn’t help.
