| - THIS is an old-school pizza shop! I'm sure that many of the foodie-types who frequent Yelp are going to dismiss this place, but having heard so much about it from my local pizza-loving friends about the pie at Fiori's, I finally decided to stop and order a couple of pizzas to go while I was in the neighborhood. The sauce definitely isn't for everyone - it's a departure from the typical corporate pizza crap that everyone has gotten used to. But the sauce is INTERESTING, and the crust is PERFECT. A little too much flour used when it was flown, but I'm guessing that's because the place was doing such a high volume of business. The pepperoni reminds me of the old Mineo's pizza, small slices that curl up and produce little grease pools. WOW, now that's the pepperoni I love, and definitely not the pepperoni you'll find at Papa John's, or Vocelli's, or Domino's, or Little Caesar's, or Pizza Hut. This is the PIZZA of your youth - the pizza you remember your dad bringing home, complete with the relic-style pizza box. It's not in my neighborhood, and I'm lucky enough to live close to Luciano's, but if I'm hungry and in the vicinity of Fiore's any time soon, I won't hesitate to grab a couple more pies - maybe one for dinner and one for breakfast!
