| - Meh. That about sums it up. Need more? Poor service and sloppily cooked pizzas = I'm not wasting any more money at QMP.
Service: 10-15 minute wait on a Friday night. That's actually reasonable considering it's a popular place and we didn't have any reservations, so no issues there. 15-20 minutes after we were seated, no one had come by to give us menus, take our drink orders or even acknowledge us. That's unreasonable. The host finally came by to check on us and he ended up taking our drink and dinner orders. Then the bartender gave me the wrong drink, but quickly rectified it once I pointed it out. He also gave us cutlery, bread and plates and served us our pizzas after another 15 minutes. Then our waitress came by at the end, cleared half the plates and gave us the bill. This ain't rocket science. The host seats you and hands you menus. The waiter comes by to give you the specials and take your drink orders. The bus boy brings the water. How is it that none of this happened?
Pizza: C'mon man, if you're gonna claim to make good pizza, then you'd better deliver. What's w/ the pizzas that have ingredients clustered together in spots rather than evenly distributed? Why's the anchovies on one side, the capers somewhere else and the olives off on their own? Is this supposed to be "rustic"? That's not rustic, that's sloppily made pizza. How come the dough isn't charred properly on the bottom, making the pizza soft and overly chewy instead of crusty and sturdy enough to support the toppings? Even I know you check a pizza's doneness by looking at the bottom to ensure the crust is evenly charred. The ingredients themselves are good and tasty, but if you can't cook the pizza right, you'll get people like me calling you out for making and serving poorly cooked pies.
UPDATE: In contrast to QMP, We went to Totonnos on the UES in NYC. We were seated immediately, given menus and drink orders taken quickly. Drinks arrived, margherita pizza w/ sundried tomatoes and kalamata olives on one half ordered. 10 min. later, our pizza arrived. Crust was thin, crusty all the way through, properly charred and not soggy in the middle. Toppings distributed evenly so every bite contained sundried tomatoes and olives. The sauce was tasty, the mozzarella was more stringy than creamy (I prefer creamy, but oh well), and the soft drinks were refilled for free. And Totonno's is not even close to the best brick oven pizzeria in NYC, just the one that was closest to us. Are you listening QMP? That's how you do it.
tl,dr; Go to Libretto or Mercatto or even Pizzaiola. Or just make your own, it's not that hard. Steer clear of this place.
