Day 18, Pizza Month 2010; 99¢ Fresh Pizza

DAY 18: OCTOBER 18th, 2010

LOCATION: 99¢ Fresh Pizza (Hell's Kitchen, NYC)

ORDER: 1 slice of cheese

GUEST: Robin Rothman

REVIEW:
Spared every expense.

Lightly sauced, lightly cheesed, and almost fully cooked, these slices look the part and even play the part, but don't expect Broadway for a buck - no matter how close you are to the theatre district. But how does 99¢ Fresh Pizza even understudy the role? In order to sell pizza at less than half the price of a typical NYC slice, every corner has been cut. Cheap cheese, cheap sauce, and cheap dough make for a cheap slice, albeit palatable.

Furthermore, skimping on seating space, ambience, and charm, 99¢ Fresh Pizza banks on high volume, availability, and rapid turnover to afford their inexpensive ingredients. Situated in an area of Manhattan with round-the-clock foot traffic, 99¢ Fresh Pizza is always open for business and usually has a fresh pie coming out of the oven. I live in the area and find when I am short on cash and time, I come here to sate my appetite cheaply and quickly.

Be warned, with no seats nor any mood lighting, this is not a date place... unless you found her near Port Authority.
