I usually make an attempt to try pizza everywhere I go. Considering living in the NYC area, there are so many good places and going somewhere halfway across the country, it’s hard to find a place that lives up to a NY style pizza and I feel like people just say “New York Style” as a cliché or something. I don’t know.
I came here on a Thursday around 5:30 PM. The parking was scarce. It seems like a lot of people were eating outside and I expected it to be super busy inside. It wasn’t that busy. I took a seat at the bar area at the counter. I ordered a beer - I forget what I chose but it was a light beer and obviously wasn’t memorable. I tried to stick to a local beer. I browsed the menu and decided I would get the Spangler. Pretty much as plain as you get besides adding the basil on it. My plan was to order this pizza and eat it at the bar. Not sure if the bartender/server was confused or was in autopilot but when I got my pizza, it came in a box as in, for to go. Some other people sitting at the bar had pizza racks for their pizza. I thought I was eating there. I never specified ordering to go or anything as such. You would think, I’m sitting here, I ordered a beer, I’d like to eat my pizza here too right? I didn’t say anything and I took my pizza and left.
Anyways, the pizza, I was able to fold and eat this pizza. I like the burnt aspects on the crust. Smelled wonderful. It actually tasted good and one of the better pizzas I have had, compared to some places in NJ/NY. The sauce has a good amount of flavor. Usually sauce comes first and then the cheese for a NY style but this was fine.
If I visit again, I would get this same exact pizza. I recommend it if you’re in the area for one of the better pizzas.
