| - OK, friends and neighbors! We have an Instant Karma Star Rating Upgrade for Nicantoni's. {please see Vic's comments below} Anytime an establishment reaches out with a plan to work with you... well it's just the Hallmark of stratospheric customer service. Big Thanks to Vic. His solution: Tell us you want the Roni's cut up and distributed on the Pizza. Brilliant!
Orig Review...
Got Door Dash delivery. Nicantoni's gets an extra star for outstanding achievements in:
--Sauce tastiness and consistency
--Cheese ratio and delectable gooeyness
--Dough texture and scrumptiocity (yup, had to create a whole new word to cover my sentiments there)
--Being the best NY pizza alternative since Prima closed (RIP {tear falls}).
Very sadly though, Nicantoni's strays from perfection with the size of their pepperoni. These monsters are approx 2.5" in diameter. I think we ALL know that pepperoni, like nipples, have an ideal max size. Lost your 5th star here guys. The sparse application of pepperoni further aggravates the situation. C'mon... there's stylistic difference that's good and sets you apart from... and above, the rest. And then there's stylistic difference that makes your clientele tilt their heads like the RCA dog and say: "wow that pizza would have been better had they not done that." We're talkin' pizza here guys not Picasso. A couple eyes or noses placed asymmetrically on the side of a face might be interesting to look at. But applied to pizza? Such misguided artistry is a poor approach to pizza ingredient/cheese balance and homogeneity.
Lemme break it down in a less crassly-humorous and less pedantic fashion. The situation is this: when a person orders a pepperoni pizza, they expect a certain cheese to pepperoni ratio. There is an expectation that pepperoni will visit their taste buds about every other bite or so. A Nicantoni's pepperoni pizza can, and likely will, feature a single, lone third-of-a-piece of Roni off to the edge of a slice. So, the customer gnaws through 80-90% of that slice before EVER tasting pepperoni. Yeah, so thinking it through... your 4th star, the extra one, is in jeopardy.
Was the pizza tasty? Oh yeah. Better than any other NY-Style around? Roger that. But the Pep thing is weird and not what I expect or enjoy in my pizza. Honesty, I would be tempted to order a plain cheese, take it home and add my own pepperoni. But then, I'm working too hard. Sigh.
Another southward contributor to the star rating is the subpar Wing game. 'Twas bad in both sauce and texture. A true low note in an otherwise splendid delivery experience. I acknowledge that delivery is not an optimal or fair wing evaluation method. Delivered wings tend to arrive less crispy for certain. However, sauce taste is unaffected by delivery... and it is this criterion I found unacceptably off-putting. Nicantoni's, please up your wing sauce game. Damn. Down to 3 Stars. Sorry guys. But it's all so recoverable.
I'll give you guys another whirl in a month or two.
Friends and neighbors, apologies for the anatomical reference above. It's just too fitting to remove. And if we all loosen up just a bit, we can ALL certainly agree that nipple rule applies far more stringently to males. OK, perhaps that was too far. What can I say? I'm weak.
