We usually get the same order every time \u2013 cheesesticks and a large pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, and black olives. The cheesesticks are really just a pizza without tomato sauce that they slice into strips, but it\u2019s a bit thinner and crispier, and the cheese gets more browned and bubbly. We love the garlic dipping sauce, which is really just some sort of butter product mixed with garlic powder and is extremely bad for you but oh so tasty. They also provide pizza sauce so you can dip just the right amount of tomato sauce and garlic sauce together.<\/p>\n

The pizza itself is thicker than standard NYC pizza, but thinner than pan pizzas (although they do have a pan pizza option).<\/p>\n

The crust is a bit sweet, as is the pizza sauce, which is why we get pepperoni to counteract the sweetness. The mushrooms go really well with the pepperoni, and the olives provide a bit of a sour tang. This is my favorite combination of toppings. The crust isn’t really crispy but it has a nice dense chew to it.<\/p>\n
