Pizza

This week's theme was Pizza. I went to Piola, Brick Oven, and Giorgios.
















Piola (4): Located at 12th and Broadway, at 4:00, the place was not crowded at all. The atmosphere was very cool. There were lots of colorful and intresting looking lamps and huge abstract art paintings on the walls. There was a big screen tv that played the travel channel and the music was very subtle, not too loud. There was about 20 different types of pizza to choose from. You could choose pizzas with various combinations ofvegetables and cheeses, not just standard mozzerella but cheeses like brie and gouda. The pizza came in a decent sized persnol pie size with four slices. The peices were huge and I was full after eating two. The pizza was amazing. It had a different kind of flavor than most NY pizza places. It was thin crust that was slightly crispy with the perfect amount of sauce and alot of cheese. Even with all the cheese it wasnt greasy. (I hate when pizza is greasy). I orded a mushroom pie and the mushrooms were delicious as well. I tried a peice of a friend's pie that had four different cheeses: brie, mozzerella, gorgonzolla and parmesian. It was very good, I recomend getting that one. I also tried a peice of a friend's pie that had black olives. The olives were not cut up, they were the size of grapes which was a little over powering. I prefer olives on pizza to be chopped. I ordered a lemonade which tasted sour, I do not recomend it. The service was pretty bad. The waiter confused the order and gave us the wrong pizzas at first and tried to argue with us when we explained that we did not order what he gave us. We did recieve a 20 percent discount in the end, so overall I give the place a 4 for amazing food, great atmosphere but bad lemonade.

Giorgios (3): Located on 70th and 2nd, it was conviently close to school. The place was small, but not very crowded. The atmosphere was decent for a small pizza place. The service was a little slow. I ordered a pepperoni slice that came out so greasy that I had to dab it off with a napkin. The pizza was thin crust which was good, but there was nothing really special about it. The sauce was a little too sweet. There was oddly no parmesian cheese out, so I had to ask for it which was a little strange. I give it a 3 becasue the pizza was too greasy and flavor was okay, not great.

Brick Oven (2): Located on 68th and 3rd, this place is always crowded. The service was pretty quick for how crowded it was. I orded a vegetable slice. The flavor was dull, it tasted like the pie was sitting out for a while and even though it was re-heated, it didnt taste right. It was very bland, and the sauce had little flavor. I recomend this place if you want a quick slice of pizza, but dont expect it to be very satisfying. I give the place a 2 for lack of flavor, but decent service.
