| - People are up late AF downtown. Often. But what kind of food do you wanna chat over when you let the night go? Mexican? I've done that like a million times. Breakfast food? What a snooze, it can wait til Sunday morning. What we *really* want--and you will know this if you search your heart's true desires--is PIZZA.
Big, hot, gooey, heavy, need-to-compensate-for-these-thousand-extra-calories-at-some-point PIZZA. You can't resist! Scottsdale has Joe's, Tempe has a million places, and now downtown has this. It's glorious.
It's NY style, but the crust is *dense* toward the edges. Two slices was definitely enough for me. Between the sauce and toppings, they're not skimping on anything either. $3 for cheese and $3.50 for pepperoni won't break the bank. I am sympathetic to the argument that ordering a full pizza is pricey. $20 for a 12" specialty forces comparisons to each of the most revered pizzerias in Phoenix, and I am too hesitant to categorize this as a premium locale that can command it. Yet.
Another cool feature they've got is how they go nuts on their daily specials. When I arrived, it had a rather unorthodox white sauce (with sage and butter), squash, chard, pancetta, and two types of mozzarella. I'm guessing it was supposed to be sweet and spicy, but ultimately had too much going on. I still appreciate the creativity and look forward to the next one.
Overall, I can only say it's a cool place to grab a slice. And sometimes, that's all I need.
