DAY 18: OCTOBER 18th, 2009

LOCATION: John's Pizzeria (44th St. near 8th Avenue)

ORDER: 1 slice of bruschetta, 2 slices of sausage, 1 slice of peppers and mushroom

GUEST(S): Christine Delorenzo, Danica Lo, Eric Del Pozo, Robin Rothman, Kitzi Taylor

REVIEW:


PIZZA: Dear Johns...I love you. Your coal fired brick oven crust shimmers golden brown with the slight bit of grease from your melted shredded mozzarella. Your crust is so firm and toppings so mouthwatering it makes me want to spend eternity with you and no one else! ...Johns?...hello?...Oh well, his tomato sauce was tasty but I tend to prefer pizzas that offer me fresh mozzarella anyway.




ATMOSPHERE: Johns Pizzeria midtown exists in an old cathedral. If you don't believe me, look up. The ceiling is about 40-50 feet high and adorned with stained glass. Johns has changed some things, however. The pews are gone and I seriously doubt the pair of coal fired brick ovens were there back when. And while there is no confessing, there are plenty of folks professing just how great Johns pizza is. With such a large bit of real estate, located in the heart of theatre district it's no wonder it costs a bit more (~$15-17 w/o alochol), but it's worth it...amen.

MISC.:
1. I went to college with these folks that all met in high school, Stuyvesant High School, that is...


2. Afterward we went to Red Mango. I love that place but not a big fan of the pumpkin spice frozen yogurt.

  • I think you should try Sabitini's pizza in Exeter, PA. I think you would like it. It's not too far from New York
