| - IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER
With 75 total reviews, this marks THE VERY FIRST review I have ever updated. Providing fair, unbiased feedback for hard-working local businesses is very important to me and it is often the case that the true value of a concept cannot be judged by a single, subjective experience. In this case, My Pie is being whole-heartedly updated from a 3-Star review to a 5-Star.
A BRIEF EXPLANATION
After learning that the same team of owners who opened Crust Pizzeria also owned My Pie, I had to give My Pie a second chance. Crust Pizzeria is THE BEST pizza I have eaten since my childhood growing up down the street from a little New York style pizzeria in New Jersey.
So I ventured back to My Pie to see whether my initial judgement of the food was perhaps a bit hasty, even unfair. I was very lucky to run into one of the owners, Ryan, during my second visit and he spent a great deal of time with me, describing some notable highlights.
UPDATED OBSERVATIONS
For instance, I never noticed during my first visit that the entire interior of My Pie has been meticulously decorated so as to FEEL like a New York City pizzeria. From wall-length photos of the Brooklyn Bridge to subway-themed ordering instructions to the music playlist (featuring only big-name artists born in New York or New Jersey!).
Ryan also took time to introduce me to the ingredients My Pie has chosen to use including a Sicilian family recipe for the pizza sauce (also featured at Crust), pizza dough MADE FRESH DAILY from authentic Neapolitan pizza dough, high-quality canned tomatoes imported from Italy, and even cookie dough imported from New York and BAKED FRESH DAILY!
I learned that the pizza dough was specially rolled to produce the trademark NY-style crust after baking and that the ovens were firing these pies at 800 degrees F to produce that perfect oven-baked quality with only about 2 minutes of wait time.
And talk about DEALS! I should have mentioned this in my first review, but the pizza here is VERY fairly priced with "endless topping" options. Also a decent selection of beer on tap and even Happy Hour deals!
FINAL CONCLUSION
After eating here for a second time and being fortunate enough to speak with Ryan, I came away from My Pie feeling utterly impressed. I can't say I've ever met a more committed, passionate business owner than Ryan. The attention to minute details of food prep, ingredient quality, and overall experience goes over and above what most patrons will ever grasp.
As I mentioned in my first review, there seems to be a recent outcropping of "fast-casual" food concepts similar to My Pie, and I've been to several. NONE of them compares to My Pie. Visit this outstanding concept with your eyes open. An awful lot of time and thought went into it. Having seen that firsthand, I know I'll be back.
If you haven't been - GO! You won't be disappointed.
***Thank you, Ryan and the My Pie crew, for working so hard to create a standout experience from start to finish. I couldn't be more impressed with the finished product. Keep up the great work!!
