| - For those who remember this place under the old ownership, the components seem to be the same, however the final product has changed slightly. The taste is the same, but yes, the quantity of ingredients is more similar to what you'll get at any other pizza joint. No more heaps of expensive cheese.
So, order extra cheese (yes, I expect you'll have to pay for it).
I believe the new ownership may be struggling with the fact that the old ownership never really updated their pricing to reflect the cost of the materials. I always wondered how they could sell a pizza so cheap with so much cheese on it. Cheese is by far the most expensive component of a pizza, and I think the old man probably lost money on the generous amounts he used to use.
I sure do miss the old man's creations, but honestly the new owners deserve a break. They are trying very hard, I believe, to carry on the tradition of these magical pies. I would personally advise them to raise the price of each pie, and add the extra cheese without being asked.
I just tried one last night, and I will be buying 'za there again, but I had to dock a star from my previous 5 as it's just not the same; so close it hurts, but not the same. I wish I could do 4.5 stars.
If you loved the old pies, do give these folks a chance. Still a fantastic pizza.
Oh and for some reason it bothers me that the pies are all perfectly round, and no longer the misshappen oblongs the old man used to make. Never even knew I cared about that until I saw a new one, all symmetrical ... hardly burnt (although still wonderfully well-done just as always!)
Just order extra cheese, is all.
