| - I really hate writing one and two star reviews, it's bad for the business and bad for me because I had to have a pretty bad experience to justify a really low star count. Unfortunately, this is one of those times.
The one thing we really want is a good pizza place that delivers in our area. We decided to give Danny's a try at around 6 PM on 11/15/2017.
We ordered an 18" Extreme pizza, a 10" Margherita pizza and a 10" cheese pizza.
First lets talk about what was good:
- The crust was delicious!
- the sauce was good, not too sweet, just right.
- The ingredients were all fresh.
Now, had they simply taken proper care in turning those ingredients into an edible pizza, this would probably be a 4 or 5 star review. Unfortunately, our pizzas were apparently built by a toddler :(
- The sauce was uneven, leaving some portions of the pizza soaked in sauce and others virtually dry.
- The cheese was super greasy! By the time we got the pie it was completely soaked through the crust to the point where you could not pick up a slice. You had to eat it with with a knife and fork or wear it. Yes, I am making an exception for it being delivered and not fresh out of the oven. Even allowing for that, it was super greasy.
- The rest of the ingredients were just scattered across the pizza like they had been thrown on from across the room. The ham slices were still stuck together into stacks 4-5 layers deep and unevenly strewn about the pie. The peppers were super thick on about 2/3 of the pie and missing from the other 1/3. Before you ask, no, this did not happen in transport, they were cooked into these places.
- They failed to properly cut any of the pies. The slices were so uneven some of them were 2-3 inches across at the top and others were as much as 8 inches. To be clear, I'm not saying they didn't apply pressure evenly when they cut it. They clearly made no effort to cut the slices evenly. That being said, they also failed to cut into the crust in about 50% of the cuts, so the pie had some cuts but mostly just dents in the cheese.
- The crust was somewhat under cooked.
For reference, I lived in Brooklyn NY for years. I have had NYC style pizza in all 5 boroughs. I know NYC pizza. This was not that.
I really regret not taking a picture of the Extreme. It was truly a mess.
The pizza tasted pretty good in the areas where it was done right, so we are hoping this was a bad night and we will probably try it once more before we give up.
