1.) Intro:
This place is next to a friend's place. So whenever we are hanging out, which is typically a group of us, I always think of a great crowd pleaser, and that is pizza! I believe Pizza is the boy/girl friend of Parties. They just go well together :)
2.) The PIZZA:
I always test a pizza place by its pizza base, and here is the criteria:
a.) Let's start with an original/regular pizza - tomato sauce, cheese, dough and the usual suspects of seasonings. Does a restaurant's regular/original pizza taste good overall?
Broken down into components....
b.) How's the dough? Overcooked, undercooked or just right?
c.) How's the sauce? Overly salty, super citrusy, too sweet, watery or just right?
d.) How's the cheese? Is it cheap cheese, okay cheese or high quality?
3.) My synopsis:
I believe the pizza is pretty good. Maybe for Boston (Mission Hill) standards. I mean, I am originally from New York, so my standards are high, but they do a decent job making a New York style pizza. Maybe due to the area, with college students living rampant, therefore many large groups of people hanging out, partying and ravenous for pizza, the staff are full of high energy cranking out pizza. So you can always either get a fresh slice or an even fresher pizza pie.
Hey, if a business states "Company XYZ.......Pizza" that's where I am going to check out first......its pizza! I do not try their Sicilians, salads, wings or anything else, although I have had their Philly Cheese sandwich, and I thought it was okay. But I really think they have pretty decent pizza.
4.) Hours/Environment:
They are open late night. There are a couple seats for your pleasure, but I am typically in and out with a pick up. Sometimes it's a little cramped to want to be in there for so long. They seem to be open extremely late, but they typically close at 2am.
5.) Staff:
They seem to cook pretty fast, and the customer service has been positive, courteous, professional. Full of great energy. There are typically 3 guys working - 2 cooking and 1 at the register.
6.) Conclusion:
I normally get a slice, but if it's a group thing, I will get their whole pizza pie. They have many great slices - buffalo chicken pizza, amongst the many types. Delicious delicious!
