| - When Mama Theresa's closed after just a few months in the new Danny's location, we figured we'd go back to craving decent pizza in Fort Mill forever or suck it up and pay the ridiculous prices of the one and only really "fresh" made pizza in Baxter (not going to happen very often--it's pizza, not filet mignon). No one here knows how to do pizza in true NY style (and believe me, we have tried ALL of them in ten years), but Danny certainly does.
Although the service was kind of a mess the first few weeks they were open, we have been taking out since then, and the pizza has been ready as promised each time. I will say that I was a bit grossed out that none of the food prep help was wearing hair nets, hats, or gloves, but at least they prepare the pizza right in front of you so you can see where those hands are, and I did not see anyone handling food and then handling money--if that had not been the case, I would have been out of there. Danny, invest in a few paper hats, please! This is the only reason I did not give it five stars.
The crust has the right amount of char on the bottom and is exactly the right thickness to fold--crispy edges, soft on the inside...yum. We only order plain cheese, so I can't speak for toppings. However, the cheese is extremely generous and the sauce does not taste like it came out of a can--just a light, delicate tomato flavor. This is not pizza for the health-conscious; it is loaded with melted cheese and cheese has oil, but isn't that the whole idea behind a good pie? Could go a little lighter on the oregano, but overall, this pizza is delicious. I hope they will stay busy and in business for a long time!
