This is what our pizza looked like when it arrived - no joke<\/p><\/div>\n

Thus is my experience with Fat Sal\u2019s Pizza. In the interest of full disclosure, I may have caused our pizza to arrive looking like that, although I still don\u2019t know if that makes it acceptable.<\/p>\n

We were continuing our quest for our go-to pizza place and decided to try out Fat Sal\u2019s on 10^{th<\/sup> Ave. I placed our order on delivery.com, a website that we\u2019ve used before, and somehow our address was messed up. I don\u2019t really know how that happened, but I must\u2019ve mistyped it at some point. We do have an account and I just logged into it, so I didn\u2019t check the address before I submitted our order. We\u2019ve ordered using that account previously without any problems so I wasn\u2019t aware there was an issue.<\/p>\n}

Nevertheless, when the pizzeria called us up to verify our address, Josh apologized profusely about the mistake. So the deliveryman had traveled four blocks out of his way, and we honestly felt badly about it. We planned to make it up to him in the tip, and we would have completely understood if it took a long time for the delivery to come or if our food was cold. We were definitely in the wrong, and we knew that.<\/p>\n

We didn\u2019t open up the pizza box until after the deliveryman took his tip and left, and now we understand his haste in getting out of our apartment. Lets see that picture again, close up this time, and from a different angle.<\/p>\n

Different angle, but still just as messed up<\/p><\/div>\n

So what happened? Did he purposely turn our pizza box sideways in retaliation for sending him to the wrong address? But he must have realized it was an honest mistake, not a vicious sabotage to send him four blocks in the wrong direction. And why didn\u2019t he think that we would be apologetic and try to make it up to him with a larger tip? It doesn\u2019t make sense. I can understand that if we shafted him on the tip, then the next time we ordered he would do that to our pizza. So maybe he dropped the pizza by accident? The pizza was in such a state that there\u2019s no way he didn\u2019t realize he had dropped it or tilted it severely. It was completely mangled and glued together at the side of the box.<\/p>\n

I managed to pry most of the pieces apart, but not without losing a lot of cheese in the process. Surprisingly, the pizza was still warm. The crust was pretty floppy though, and I don\u2019t know if that was a result of the treatment or if that\u2019s how the crust normally is. It wasn\u2019t super thin nor was it too thick. The outer crust was actually really good, with a bit of crispiness on the outside and a nice chewy texture on the inside. It reminded me of a really good baguette. Despite the floppiness, I really did enjoy the pizza and thought it was the best that I\u2019ve had yet on our quest.<\/p>\n

The chicken parmesan hero was also really good. It was huge and served on a nice crispy roll. There was a lot of chicken but could have used a bit more cheese. Still, it was pretty tasty.<\/p>\n

The garlic knots were standard but they had a nice texture to them and good garlic coverage.<\/p>\n

Decent garlic knots<\/p><\/div>\n

So what\u2019s the verdict? I don\u2019t know. I really enjoyed the pizza and would have definitely ordered from here again had the pizza not arrived in such a disastrous state. But I do feel bad about the address mix-up, so maybe I was partially to blame. Still, do I want to order from a place that would either be so vindictive or so careless? It\u2019s a tough call. I\u2019m going to work my way through the other pizzerias in the area, and if I don\u2019t find anything better, maybe I\u2019ll consider ordering from here again. If you were in my shoes, what would you do?<\/p>\n
