The place is pretty bare bones with 1 dual level gas pizza oven, 1 pizza cook (moved here 8 months ago from Brooklyn), 1 silly man dressed up like Corey Feldman in Dream a Little Dream (owner I assume), and 1 young cute chippie at the register that was as clueless as Alicia Silverstone (I know, who??? But what a slice of pie). But let me tell ya, the prices reminded me of old school NYC pizza joints. $10 for a large pie and this large pie is 18 fucking inches wide. Most guys like their pie smaller but me, I take what I can get. And the calzones are $5. Holy shit, am I dweaming a lil dweam? No sir-ree! Oops, mebbe a wet dweam. Anyhoo...
Take a gander...
(Thin cracker like crust, sauce a tad salty and the standard low moisture shredded mozzarella cheese. I prefer my NYC style 'ZA greasy.)
(Aerial view. The bottom was slightly golden brown, no char. Expected from a standard gas pizza oven.)
(Giant $5 calzone w/pepperoni. Looked nice but could used a little more time in the oven and chintzy on the pepperoni, ricotta and mozzarella... Hey, c'mon, it was $5. I'll STFU, now.)Overall, it wasn't half bad but NYC (Brooklyn) style pizza it ain't... Not just yet. Give them a couple more months and they should improve. Well, at least that's what I hope for. Antico is awesome but who da fuck wants to fight the crowd for a space in da corner just to slam some pie? Sometimes you just want to tear that pie up in peace and quiet. And the price is unbeatable... Unlike my meat.
