| - Overview:
We were passing through on our way to Chicago and stopped to see a few sights. We asked a local where the best pizza was and he sent us to Slice on Broadway, and are we glad he did. I couldn't stop thinking about the crust, the pizza was cooked perfectly and they seem to pride themselves on high quality ingredients.
Pizza Shop: Great shop, very clean and welcoming feel to it. I like that the kitchen is mostly open to the dinning area. Unique "vault," from when this place was a bank, creates a special private room for a family of 4 or 5 to dine. The kids loved it. I also always check out bathrooms, because if a place wants to cut corners the bathroom is a good place because not many guests see it. These were spotless!
Service: The staff was second to none. Our order was taken promptly and all food came out accurate. They were very friendly and attentive all while giving us space to enjoy our great meal.
Pizza: I like that you can get pizza by the slice here and that was one thing the local pointed out when sending us here. That way each of the kids could get their own topping and the slice would be ready for a quick grab and go. We were so charmed by the staff and setting that we decided to eat in house.
Crust: awesome, made the biggest impression on me, perfectly crispy without being over cooked or too well done. It was some of the best crust I have tasted and I still think about it.
Sauce: Good flavor, could tell that it was likely homemade.
Cheese: nice blend of mozzarella and provolone. Perfect amount.
Toppings: Pineapple was standard, then again, who the heck puts pineapple on a pizza! Sausage was good. I prefer sliced over the crumbed but the benefit of how this place does it (crumbed/clumped) was that you had a good sausage flavor in every bite.
Salad: Above average pizza place salad, no iceberg lettuce, good veggies
Usually I have something negative to say, but this was such an overall positive experience that nothing stands as negative. This would definitely be my pizza shop if I was a local and is also a great stop for anyone passing through that wants to grab a slice!
