“I was disappointed when I went. Great crisp but felt the sauce and crust didn’t have much flavor. It felt like an above average pie and not close to elite status.”

“John's was trash when I was there in June. The whole middle section of the pie was sopping wet all the way through the crust. It was by far the worst pizza we had in NY.”
