| - We just moved back up from Florida, but I'm originally from Ohio and the husband is from NJ. I lived in NJ with him for 16 years, so I'm familiar with good NYC pizza.
We went into Blasiole's after being referred there by people at his new job. There was no one in the parking lot at lunch time on a Saturday, so we didn't even know they were open. When he found the door unlocked, we scooted inside and were told the dining room was closed as the heat was off. We could order takeout, but that was it.
The guy working the register told us how great their pizza was, but when we said we knew good thin NYC pizza, he balked. Then he said, "Well, it's good for thin Ohio pizza." No, it's not.
We got a large pizza with mushrooms and green peppers. He said he'd give us a "deal" but it came out to the same price as a large pizza with 2 toppings. We waited in the freezing foyer for 15 minutes while the 3 people working talked about friends and sports right inside the kitchen doors, then we were handed the pizza and left alone in the foyer.
We live 2 minutes from there, literally, but it wasn't really even warm when we got home. The cheese was hardly melted in some spots. The sauce was only slightly bitter, which wasn't too bad, but it had way too much seasoning it.
The crust was comparable to Pizza Hut's pan pizza. How is that thin? I like a thicker chewy crust, but the husband does not, and he was less than impressed. As a matter of fact, he's the pizza lover and he only had 2 slices out of the entire pie. I had to spread the leftovers out over a few days so we didn't end up wasting all that money. But boy, did I doctor that sucker up each time so it was better than we received it.
I wouldn't go back again, nor would I recommend it, even for lovers of "Ohio pizza"!
