I consider myself a pizza expert. I loved pizza as a child and even used to work at a pizzeria back in college. My favorite style pizza is a high quality New York style pizza so I was supper excited that a NY Pizzeria had opened up a few stores down from my favorite Dry Cleaners.
The staff was awesome. The lady at the register was helpful when I explained it was my first time here and told her what I needed. A Hawaiian pizza (not on the menu, normally a good thing for me but the GF likes them) and a combo with extra cheese for me.
The crust was just above average. It was definitely thin crust yet wasn't chewy or crispy and had a great smoky flavor. Not sure how they accomplished that but I thought it saved my pie. Really the only redeeming quality was that the crust had that good smokey flavor.
The bad was the ingredients. The Hawaiian pizza had what seemed like a single piece of lunch meat ham sliced up and maybe 1.5 rings of pineapple spread across a large pizza. I know they did their best to make me a Hawaiian but it fell horribly short. My GF took a bite spit it out and said this is horrible.
I didn't have that problem with my pie. It had plenty of toppings and good flavor. In fact the crust couldn't hold up to the weight of them all. My/our only complaint with this pie was that it was greasy. A little is OK and expected but a white paper towel really shouldn't come away brown and saturated with grease.
They sell pizza by the slice so I may stop in to grab one when I drop off my Dry Cleaning but other than that I will be going to another pizza joint for my pizza needs.
Just remembered they sell bottle water and the label claims is drawn from the east river. It was hot and I was thirsty but if that was drawn from the east river I may just have to bring a large water jug the next time I visit NY so I could fill it up and bring it home.
