| - "Funky" is Double Zero's M.O. Funky's good, funky's fun; but dig beneath the funk, the fun photography and all those cool little light bulbs that make up the sign and you find a pizza that's good, but not great.
When someone says to me, "Wanna go to double zero?" I shrug and say 'Yeah, I suppose."
Double Zero makes a solid pie, but I find the crust a bit too crunchy with not enough soft, the overall a bit too greasy with not enough napkins at the table and the toppings a bit too bland with not enough extra-cost additions.
A little extra coin at Double Zero means that adding prosciutto to the mushroom pizza gives it a nice edge, or adding chicken to the rapini gives it a robustness that cuts the grease; but I don't go to a funky pizza joint in order to be upsold on the menu items to make them better. I like, and will pay for, an add-on that makes a great meal go "wow!" but I am on the fence about an add-on that makes a decent meal go "better".
To be fair, I have only ever eaten pizza at Double Zero; but I do expect a place that markets itself as being a pizza joint to have above-average pies and although Double Zero is funky, they need to spread some of that funk on the pizzas.
