Well, they're not claiming to be authentic Italian pizza, so I'll go easy, especially since the menu sells pizza with Pineapple 🤦♂️. To be fair, if I'd be selling pizzas and half of my customers want pineapple and the other half eat it with ketchup and mustard, I'd probably add that to my menu too 😅
So, that leads me to this: for 95% of you who are not pizza connoisseurs and drive around your fancy Teslas, you will like the pizza. So, you can stop reading here.
For the remaining 5% of you:
I got a margherita pizza. They charge $19 for the regular cheese (whatever that means), but $8 extra ($27) if you want Mozzarella di Bufala campana.
Since I think $19 for a margherita is robbery, I surely wasn't going to spend $27 (when I know the difference in price between Fior di latte and Bufala Campana is about $2 in real life).
The Size of the pizza is very small, maybe 8" or 9", sorry, I didn't have a ruler, but check out my picture next to a water bottle. So at this point, I'm thinking about $20 for this tiny thing, it'd better be the best pizza in the Universe... It wasn't.
The tomato sauce tasted fairly legit. The cheese, was Ok. Again, maybe it would have been better with the other cheese, but at $8 extra definitely not.
The biggest problem is the dough. It needs a lot of work. First, the flavor wasn't there at all, which tells me zero fermentation. Second, the dough was either over proofed, or over worked, or over cooked, because besides having the almost zero air in the crust (see pictures), you could see the almost the dense, rubbery, texture in the crumb of the crust (see pictures). I think this also contributed to the portion of the pizza with the toppings not tasting that great either.
Also, the toppings themselves drenched the pizza, it was almost impossible to pick up a slice, even after trying to bend it. And it was exceedingly greasy.
I understand that there's a magazine that ranked them in the top 50 in the USA, but Something's off here.
