Yeahhhhh! I'm back, woop woop!
And if you noticed an issue with www.yourpiemymouth.com, that's been fixed too. Back in business, COVID-19 is over (jk, but it feels like it more and more every day), the sun is shining, and I'm crushing a new pie. Couldn't be better.
So this little gem has been hiding from me in plain sight, and I'm super stoked to tell you all about it.
The original location (since 2009) is in Little Italy, this one is in Point Loma at the Liberty Station Public Market. To me, a way better location to get in and out of (and the douche factor is much less as well). It's located where the original Public Market Restaurant "Mess Hall" previously was, which sadly no longer exists. The space is now split into 3 different restaurants; BBQ, Korean, and pizza.....
Not having ever heard of this place, my expectations were obviously very low.
Would I be surprised?....
Ohhhh mama, smelled and looked great
Really, really, REALLY terrific pizza.
A truly classic rendition of the New York style that you'll not find better anywhere outside of the Big Apple. Yes, even better than Bronx or Luigi's (which I really like as well).
The toppings are placed with a light hand, critical for a thin crust. So many places get this wrong, and it's a shame. It overwhelms and overloads the pie, often times eliminating the ability to even pick us a slice. Not here, no no no.
And the crust.... The perfect paper thin velum of crisp, parchment thin outer layer, protecting the fluff interior just beyond. A light cloud like middle, a pillow for the brief application of sauce, cheese, and pepperoni.
Perfectly balanced on all accounts.
Is this my new favorite pizza place in SD? If we're just talking about the pie (there's no table service, etc.....) then yes, a very big yes. My current favorite pizza.
It even comes baby approved.
Eat a new pie, you might end up being surprised how much you like it :-O
