| - We had recently driven by and spotted this place - hadn't heard they were opening, so it was a pleasant surprise! We've had our share of late night slices at the downtown location, so knew to expect a NY style pizza, that you can't find anywhere else on this side of town.
We ordered a 20" Presto to go (yeah, there is only two of us. Don't judge.): Mozzarella, Tomatoes, Basil and garlic. When we got there, they had no record of our order, so that was pretty annoying. On the plus side, this allowed us to try four different kinds (by the slice), and they only charged us for two slices to make up for it. It worked.
They had quite a variety of slices to choose from, so besides the Presto, we got a buffalo chicken, a sausage/pepperoni, and a Caprese (fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, red onions, basil and green olives). They popped them in the oven to warm them up and get the nice crispy NY crust. Since we got them to go, we ran the risk of a soggy crust, which unfortunately did occur to a couple of them because of the Caprese juicy tomatoes. That one had a few too many ingredients- better to keep it simple so you can make the perfect NY fold of the slice. The other three were classic NY, and really executed well.
The place was pretty empty for a Friday night, so I hope the work gets out about this place! There are lots of tables, so next time we will stay there to eat to maintain the crispy crust. This would be a fantastic quick lunch spot too - don't forget to sprinkle some garlic salt on, just like they do in NYC!
