Josh and I are still on our quest to find the best go-to pizza place for delivery. We eat pizza a lot, as you can probably tell, but we still haven\u2019t found a place that we can both agree on. While walking home from a bar on 9^{th<\/sup> Ave. one evening, we passed Sacco Pizza, a tiny hole-in-the-wall joint where a lot of people were lined up for a late night snack. The pizza that was being dished out look and smelled pretty good so we picked up a menu and made a mental note to order from there the next time.<\/p>\n}

When our next hankering for pizza rolled around a few days later, we placed an order for an extra large cheese pie and something called gaucho pie. We had no idea what gaucho pie was but it turned out to be kind of like a beef empanada with a pizza dough crust. Or it could be a calzone stuffed with ground beef but no cheese or sauce.<\/p>\n

It was an interesting concept but we weren\u2019t huge fans of the beef filling, as it was kind of greasy and didn\u2019t have much meaty flavor. It was also overly salty, and I wish they gave us some tomato sauce to dip with. I was glad to have tried it but would probably not order it again.<\/p>\n

The pizza was pretty good, though the crust was on the thinner side. Again, this is where Josh and I disagree. He likes super thin crispy crusts and I like crusts with a bit of a chew on the inside.<\/p>\n

Sacco\u2019s crust was thin but it still had some chew. It was nicely browned and had a good flavor to it.<\/p>\n

It also had a good sauce to cheese ratio, and we both thought it was a very well done pie.<\/p>\n

Overall I think we would probably order from Sacco again. We didn\u2019t try out their heroes, which is one of our tests of a go-to pizza place, so next time we\u2019ll have to make sure we test those as well. We\u2019ll pass on the gaucho pie though.<\/p>\n
