I was skeptical when I first walked into Manhattan Pizza IV last night. It is small. It is hot. I had a hard time understanding the people working the counter. But I was craving pizza so I stuck it out. I'm glad I did. While the restaurant is small and hot, it is also very clean. And the staff is friendly. My pizza was ready in about 15 mintues. I watched it come out of the oven and get sliced right in front of me. There is not much that beats fresh pizza like that. I took my 12 inch Manhattan Special home with a root beer and a movie waiting for me. Opening the box I was surprised by how good the pizza looked. I could not see the toppings through the cheese that was ever so browned on top. The first bite was like opening a birthday gift. I saw that beneath all the cheese were piles of sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, onion, olives, and bell pepper. All fresh toppings on a bed of sauce with a blanket of cheese. The flavor was great. The crust was the perfect balance of chewy and crispy. No soggy bread here. I was pleasently surprised at how much I enjoyed this pizza. I wanted to stop at four slices and save the rest for breakfast. I just could not resist that fifth slice though. So three slices for breakfast it was this morning. A perfect way to start the day.
