By the Slice

Hey hey! Your roving pizza reporter coming to you live from San Francisco!

With a name like Escape From New York, you would think you were in for a special treat. I mean, if you were a pizza chef, and you had to escape from New York, what would you take with you? Your secret pizza recipie, of course!

However, I have a feeling that there was no escaping going on. Yeah, this is New York style pizza, thin crust, usually pretty crispy, but there’s just that certain something missing. The sauce doesn’t quite make the grade, and the cheese is just not quite right.

Now, usually, I would just tell you about the cheese slice. I mean, that’s what pizza is all about, right? But this is my web site, and I can break the rules. These guys make a killer potato-pesto slice. The crust is still not quite right, but the pesto sauce is really good. And they put roasted garlic cloves — whole cloves — and potato slices on there. This is the slice I like from Escape From NY.

Overall, this is maybe 3 and a half slices. But I don’t have a 3.5 slice graphic, and it is really not up to four slices, so I have to give it a 3.
