I honestly cannot believe I havn't reviewed North End Pizza yet. They are one of my few must-have's in the city, as I prefer to try new places. The caviat with this review is that I have never had true New York pizza, so it can only be compared to the places I have tried.
That said, the pizza here is amazingly delicious. It starts with a chewy thin crust, the only way a pizza should be eaten. I usually get the white pizza (garlic olive oil topped with mozzarella and ricotta), but I have also had the meat pizza. The toppings on that one were a nice, high quality.
I'm happy to say that North End is usually pretty busy when I stop in these days, and most of the other storefronts in the complex are being leased. When I first found this place there were very few people whenever I stopped in.
Overall, try the pizza here. It is worth the 20 minute drive out of my way every time I go.
