Pizza Review
Take a look at this piece of art, wouldn’t ya? I’m an odd ball, my barometer for pizza is one with all the veggies, add chicken. I know, I know, so of you “purists” out there might say, cheese only or pepperoni, but I just love something with a lot of different textures and flavors... like Kayne West’s career... This being my first ever score, I knew I had to set the bar somewhere decent. After reading all the reviews about this place (and the fact it was the only other non-chain fast food joint open at 9pm in Bishop, CA...), it looked just like the place to pop my, “One Bite” cherry[tomato]. Lemme start by saying this crust is pretty damn amazing. It’s crispy on the outside and when you bite through, it’s perfectly doughy and yeast flavor fills your mouth. The crust alone drives this pizza up on the charts... The veggie toppings were plentiful; they had artichoke hearts, green and black olives, red onion, green pepper, garlic... and fresh tomatoes. The chicken though, it was a bit dry with some pieces, chopped up smallish in my opinion, and seemed to be an after thought to my order... The sauce was good from what I could taste as it was a bit “light” and many reviewers on Yelp did mention you have to ask for extra sauce usually, which they charge you for... let that one sink in... Cheese... I think they sprinkle that shit on like it’s fairy dust... you might have to ask for a little extra on it, but they might charge you. From what I read up on the place they say it’s a balance of moisture with the veggies and the cheese... ok, I get it... especially if it’s a fresher mozzarella they shred, which it could be... So in review, the crust is the true showcase here, hence the Upper Crust... it’s a decent pizza and I wish I could be around a few more days to try other variations, but that will have to wait for another day. Toppings will bury you and help fill you up. Sauce is spread on lightly- as if they are rationing you like the gas crisis of the 70s... Cheese is good but like the sauce- you’re probably gonna have to ask for a little more on it than usual. Power to the pizza, The Papi
