Uptown Pizzeria

54 14th Street

The best to date. The store front was small, but more attractive than the others. I ordered a slice of mushroom pizza and a bottle of diet coke--total $5. There is no seating, so I took my slice and perched along the side counter. The slice was not huge, but large enough and extremely flavorful and fresh. The light crust was just phenomenal; it was equal parts thin and soft, with a perfect light crunch at the bottom of the crust. The tomato sauce was flavored well--not too sweet and not too chunky. The mushrooms were sautéed beforehand and added to the overall appeal of the slice. Needless to say, I will be a repeat customer. Well done, Uptown pizzeria pizza makers.

Good pizza.  Though this will not be considered the best, I think it’s a solid contender and stand up well to the competition.  As the first official stop on my pizza tour, I entered the small, undistinguished store front very hungry (which also might be a reason that the pizza was as good as it was…) and ordered one slice of mushroom pizza and a can of diet coke.  Total $4.25.  The pizza slice was huge—larger than the paper plate—and had a nice crispy crust, yet wasn’t too thin for my taste. My gripes: the tomato sauce was quite sweet and the mushrooms were canned.  All in all, the pizza crust was perfect, not too thin and yet still very crispy, but the pizza was a bit sweet for my liking.  On to the next…
