Soho Pizza & Grill

I really like when a pizza pie isn’t a perfect circle; that tells me it was made fresh and uniquely. The dough is nice and firm, zero flop, with bread crumbs underneath to keep the pizza dry from excess moisture, extending all the way to the doughy, crispy crust. The cheese is kind of thickish but melted perfectly with a nice oozy flow and delicious shredded mozzarella taste. It’s a little greasier than I expected, but very manageable. The sauce is a tad light and not as distinguishable as I would like. A slight kick in flavor and uptick in quantity would help push this pie into the 8s. The one ingredient that is pervasive throughout the pizza is basil. Despite no visible fresh basil atop the pie, there is plenty chopped up and baked into the pizza, becoming the overriding flavor. Overall, I think this joint is slightly overrated but they still make a very good pie. I wouldn’t travel far for it but it’s an excellent local go-to option.
