POTC REVIEW: Uncle Vito's - Midtown Sacramento
Uncle Vito's in midtown Sacramento has the best happy hour in town.
A big, New York-style slice of pie and a beer for $5. Not bad at all. To see the menu, click here.
I usually with a group of coworkers every Thursday night after work for a slice and a mug (Not sure how much beer goes in. A pint? I don't know, it's a mug). This is an especially good deal if you get the special slice, like the incredible BLT slice, with a beer.
Vito's has the classics: Cheese, pepperoni, combo and pesto. You can also create your own slice from a list of toppings. A friend once just did cheese and bacon.
My usual is a slice of cheese and a Newcastle. Other beers on tap at the midtown location: Arrogant Bastard, Blue Moon (with a big orange slice plopped in), Boont Amber Ale, Sierra Nevada, Stella Artois and the usual American lagers you see in every bar.
Mike, a coworker of mine, calls the pizza chef (there's got to be a better name for that) "the Mozart of pizza."
So let's get down to it: Here are the pizza stats.
FOLDABILITY FACTOR: High. Like I said, it's a big, New York-style slice. However, it doesn't really work for some of the special slices that have lots of toppings (the BLT slice practically has a salad dumped on top of it).
DROOP FACTOR: The crust is pretty thin. Both hands are required. Folding the slice also helps.
GREASE FACTOR: Again, it depends on the slice. The pepperoni is particularly greasy, so it's best to dab that one with a napkin or two.
CRUST: Delicious. Not to crispy, not too chewy. It's good, middle-of-the-road crust.
OVERALL: Vito's in midtown is a great pizza joint. Eat there.
P.S. Sorry there's no picture. I devoured my slice before I even thought to snap a picture. My next Passion of the Crust review outing is Luigi's Fungarden, also in midtown.
