Pizza Review
🚨BEST OF NEW JERSEY ALERT🚨 Fairly new & somewhat trendy, there’s a decent amount of hype surrounding this takeout & delivery only Hoboken pizza shop, leading to lofty expectations & rather high hopes. Aesthetically, this is an absolute masterpiece; a super sharp-looking picturesque kaleidoscope of color: popping plum tomato red sauce, splashes of glowing green basil, golden crisped crust, truly special & glamorously gorgeous pizza. With magnificent char matching remarkable crisp, the texture is elite. They use TPS organic flour to make the dough which is universally crunchy from the center of the pie to the crust to go along with an unbelievably firm undercarriage. Straddling the line between well done & burnt in some areas, the dough is delicious and rivals some of New Haven’s best coal-fired pies. Providing a phenomenal foundation for the rest of the pizza’s components, the dough is at the crossroads where texture meets taste together in blissful harmony. With a significant amount of cheese & crushed red tomato sauce atop, this is a surprisingly weighty & heavy pie. The hand-pulled fresh mozzarella appears to be layered above & below the sauce, not just smattered about in splotches like typical Margherita style pizza. Combined with outstanding consistency & texture, the cheese is sharp & poignant but also creamy & delectable, with a wonderful sprinkling of shaved Parmesan for added flavor atop the pie. Possibly the most polarizing aspect of this pizza is the make-or-break sauce. Loaded with Bianco DiNapoli crushed tomatoes & a mesmerizingly stunning red hue, the sauce is shockingly not sweet. Slightly bitter & tart, the sauce is somewhat sophisticated with dulled sweetness & subdued flavor. While I usually prefer a much more saccharine sauce, this blend is not without its merits. Some fresh basil adds crisp flavor to compliment the undersweetened sauce, while also creating a visual delight. The synergy among all of the ingredients working together is sensational. Along with incredible-looking specialty pizzas, they offer a Square Pie that they refer to as “an ode to DiFara.” Truly classy pizza, this is one of the best pies you’ll find in the Garden State. I’m opening the doors to the hallowed Hall of Fame for this destination pizza in historic Hoboken, New Jersey. Thanks for a sincerely special 500th review. 🍕 #500

Pizza Review
If you have Portnoy's exact taste—crackery thin crust, crunchy, chewy, dry pizza, no grease/no flop pizza—you're gonna think this is phenomenal. It's essentially that, plus it's New Haven influenced but fancy on top. I thought I'd like it, that sounds up my alley, but I didn't this. And I do like apizza. My main thing is I *really* didn't like the dryness of the crust and pizza overall. The crust is closest though not quite Sally's crust out of the big 3 in New Haven, it's closer to a crackery pan pizza crust than a traditional hand tossed crust. There's not much air the crust and it's dense. That's not something I like. Not to be insulting, but think about Elio's crust. It's like that but thinner. That's not helped by the fact that contrary to it *visually* looking like it has lots of sauce, it's actually lacking sauce and the cheese is also lightly applied. And that's even with this being closer to a margherita than a plain, but it also lacks any creaminess from the cheese *or* fattiness from olive oil. Shards of parmigiana are there but I could barely taste them. Basil was too fresh, almost tart tasting. Though I do appreciate both are there as finishing topings and that the pie is well done pie, to note two good things. Hard to rate something I know other folks are really gonna like and I don't think is "objectively" bad. I actually give them props for bringing this style to Hoboken. But I barely liked it more than typical slice joint stuff. Then again, I'd rather have a pizza place like this near me than those. The square is probably great.
