Oh man. This was not good at all. The dough which they say is flown in from Italy and cooked with pork fat was overly chewy for what calls itself thin crust. And the sauce literally tasted like an unseasoned can of crusched tomatoes. Just plain not worth it by any stretch of the imagination.

i couldn’t be more disappointed, this was definitely one of the more tasteless slices of pizza i have ever had in my life. It is hard to mess up a cheese pizza, but somehow they failed at every turn. The crust was unseasoned and had a rather doughy undercooked flavor and texture, the sauce was extremely bland and seemed to be just crushed tomatos out of a can, and to top it off the cheese was not completed melted and chewy (in a bad way). although they did bring our group cups of gelato and frozen yogurt all of which were delicious, as a friend so aptly put it, “you’d be shot if you tried to serve this slice in naples.”

Yeah, I found out this place isn’t related to Pinch…

PINCH is still open on the UWS. THis place is totally different. Rude service (“can’t you tell we are out of plain!!”), and the pizza looked kind of nasty so we walked out. Tried a bite of the coffee gelato which was way to sweet and did not have a strong coffee flavor.

I can’t be optimistic about this place. Clearly they are going to target the hundreds of people that stand right outside their front door waiting for the Airport Express buses every day – most of whom are tourists who will pay top dollar to grab a bite before heading to the airport.

Hell, I bet Walgreens could probably set up a kiosk there and sell a bunch of their premade sandwiches for $10 to non-the-wiser tourists….

Yep—based on Meyekull’s comment, this is PINCH all over again with the gelato twist. My advice is steer clear–the 2 or 3 times I went to the original PINCH for a snack I felt totally hosed pricewise (not to mention totally unsatisfied hungerwise)….

Overpriced for what I got. I feel like I could have gotten at least 75% more at Naples for the same price. Also the dough is undercooked, though, in fairness, they looked a little harried. Gelato looked tasty.

Went there just now. Pizza is decent…. a little salty.

If you are going to charge by the inch, I think they should measure – not use the side of the spatula as their guide.

I think I have a good idea what 7″ should look like. Theirs was more like 5 1/2″
(I bet some of the ML readers can relate to that)

@Lou – Yeah, I just added that part to the post… I’m trying to find out from the PR person the exact details. I’ll post it when I find out.
