Picante slice - Tony's Slice House
Mozzarella, garlic, pepperoni, linguica, calabrese peppers, serrano and banana peppers, pork chorizo, green onions, cholula, ricotta. $5
Tony’s Slice House, San Francisco CA

Ugh, this slice wasn’t very good. It was super dry and probably sitting around for a while. They heated it up, but I think that just dried it out even more. Yuck! I guess the flavors were there, but it tasted most like dry cardboard.

Alla Romana pizza - Etto
Capers, olives, onion, anchovy, mozzarella. $17
Etto, Washington DC

Mmm, this was delicious! I usually don’t like a lot of char on my pizza crusts, but this wasn’t bitter in the least. The toppings were also wonderful and tasted great. It must be good if I can eat the entire pizza by myself in one sitting. Perfect!

Salami focaccia – Caffe Bene

Salami focaccia - Caffe Bene
$3.95
Caffe Bene, New York NY

Ugh, this isn’t what I really wanted to eat, but it was convenient and I was starving. The focaccia wasn’t very good and the toppings were over re-heated and hard. The service here was also laughable. Nobody new what they were doing and they were SO frickin’ slow!

Came to Manhattan to visit some friends for the weekend and arrived late on a Friday night. It was direct to the bars and clubs, and of course greasy pizza afterward, lol! I don’t really remember the specific qualities of this slice, but I’m sure I enjoyed it in the moment. 🙂
