Self-proclaimed “King of Pizza: with that special Brooklyn touch,” this joint was established in 1967 and has been family-owned since 1980. This is a traditional circular football style pizza; thickish & doughy with a fairly firm undercarriage, minimal flop, super soft and fluffy dough, bordering on undercooked. The crust is also mega soft with zero crunch, completely void of crisp. Despite the absence of crispness, the pillow soft dough is moderately tasty. The cheese is rather standard but melty and creamy with very good flavor…a pretty typical football pizza cheese blend. The sauce is also a bit basic but effective enough to provide quality flavor to the pie. Just slightly above average, the sauce could use more volume and spice to snazz up the pizza. Overall, this is solid “Anytown, USA” pizza pie; a reliable, neighborhood, Friday night pie you could set your watch to, with dependable ingredients. Not a travel-worthy pizza but very filling and satisfying. Some crisping might help raise the rating; but this softer pie is fine as is, with some clear room for improvement.
