** Got the last pie of the night.***
So, Soprano's. So much Jersey love. The opening credits are a car trip many of us have made with Tony leaving NYC from the Lincoln Tunnel and making his way to the North Caldwell area. I was making my way back from Fair Lawn and needed a quick bite to eat and since we passed Pizzaland on the way, I'd figure let's stop in. I read about delicious $1 slices so I knew what I was expecting.
Well this place is a dive. We walk in and it is nearly 11 pm so may be closing time but, it definitely wasn't the most festive of ambiance. Seinfeld playing on the one tv, I take a seat at the counter. This place is small, like barely 2 tables and a counter small. There is one other sketchy guy (really not that sketchy) waiting for his order.
The guy gruffly asks what I want. I'll take 2 slices one regular one with pepperoni and sausage. He takes out this old looking pie, cuts off 2 slices adds toppings to one and throws it in the oven. Well just seeing that made me realize this pizza experience was going to be 3 star or lower; the pizza looked like it had been sitting out for days. However, both slices were $3.20. Definitely a penny saver.
The slices are thin crust, like super thin crust and greasy. The toppings were decent and definitely added to the taste. The 'zas here are super cheap, a large comes with a free topping and runs you about $9. But, when I say the pizza is thin crust, it's extremely thin crust. So my two slices actually equals one slice or, at least that's what I keep telling myself. And again, they were good. Best pizza ever? Not quite but, whatev's. Decent enough and I mean c'mon it's in the Soprano's opening credits. Awesome.
Overall, Pizzaland is a solid spot. Definitely a destination for Soprano's nostalgia rather than delightful customer service and amazing pizza (though their fresh pizza may be legendary!) but, I'd imagine Tony S wouldn't have it any other way.
