So, first off, NY style is not my favorite, I prefer a thicker crust with a chewy outside ring, and a good unhealthy blanket of cheese and sauce. In my area, that describes Fat Tomato in MdR, and especially Johnnie's, on the other side of Lincoln. My rating is based on the NY style, because if you put that on the same scale as wood-fired artisan pizzas, it wouldn't be fair, that's almost a different food group.
For some, NY is everything to them, and I'm sure you've seen the Evil Corp tube guy's reviews, he downgrades any pizza that isn't NY. So-called Neapolitan style starts out at an automatic 6.8, he would rate a mediocre NY over an accomplished pizza of another type, which is silly in my view. He loved Prime, but even setting my preferences aside (I won't commit the same crime), I can't agree.
First off, the crust ring was larger and more puffed up than I'm used to seeing on NY style, but still crunchy. That's not a bad thing in my book, and in practice, a lot of crusts seem to fit the category. I thought the crust was the best part.
The rest, not so much. It was oily on the surface, and apparently with so little cheese, the sauce carried the predominant color. I'm not use to seeing orange pizzas. There were also way too many mushrooms, which I realize is viewed as a sin by NY fanciers anyway, so never mind.
It did taste good, no problem there, and I liked the crust very much. So I guess I'll give it four stars, but in my universe, the kind of pizza I prefer, it would be be a three.
Oddly enough, the nearby pizza the famous YT reviewer hated was Upper Crust, which has a flat, crispy crust ring I most associate with NY style. It also looks better imho, and I like the taste (Prime is on the left in the photo, UC right). The problem is their very thin crust makes the pizza droopy, even though the bottom is well browned, which was intolerable to the YT reviewer. I agree UC is too floppy, they probably go too thin, but I much preferred that pizza to this. Sorry to Prime fanciers, that's my call.
Finally, there's that subject we don't talk about, refer pizza. When you buy a large, never mind two, some of it is going to end up in the fridge, and a cold pizza breakfast can be sublime. Oh sure, you can try heating it up, but even with a convection oven it's hit and miss. The super thin Upper Crust was one of the best refer pizzas I've ever had, the cheese solidified and cured the droop, and the crust ring even retained some crunch, great. Unfortunately, the Prime crust edge seized up and turned into leather, not that I found those browned mushrooms embedded in cold orange goo all that appetizing anyway. The leftover slices went into the trash chute, a sad end for any pizza.
