My S/O had been watching Precious Pizza since their pop-up days and unfortunately we never had the chance to go - until today! Precious Pizza is in their new location in the Reed Opera House, which is a great, small and quaint location right off the street.
Customer Service here is GREAT. 10/10 in that department - very welcoming and eager to tell us about their pizza. This is their soft opening this weekend, so we went in with an open mind.
We figured we'd try everything available, which included the Cheese Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza, Blanka Pizza (white sauce) and The Papi which is their signature pizza that has sliced jalapenos and pineapple on it. Everything was ready to take so we were in and out in a few minutes.
Presentation-wise, the pizza slices look very appetizing and photogenic. Taste-wise is where unfortunately we have to be a little more critical than we wanted to be, as we went into this expecting a "New Yorks Squares" style (Grandma-style Pan Pizza) experience.
The overall feedback we have for Precious is that the crust itself is too dense! Whereas other grandma style we've had is lighter and "airy", every slice was very dense and really gave off a "focaccia"-style bread taste, and was only exacerbated by the extremely thin layer of topping on top. If there had been a heavier layer of toppings on it - even on the cheese pizza - this may counteract the density of the pie. Perhaps it was a bad batch, as this is your soft opening, but this really let us down for what we were hoping would be a great grandma-style pie.
We definitely will give Precious Pizza another try in a few weeks, and would love to take a second stab at a review, but as of right now we unfortunately can't rate higher than a 3/5 due to the lack of toppings and density of the pie. The flavor is definitely there, but the execution isn't there yet.
