Pizza Tourism Pt. 1: Howard Beach
#1) New Park Pizza
Just a classic fuckin New York slice. Thin floury crust, sweet sauce, and goldilocks amounts of cheese. Very neighborhoody feel to the restaurant and you could tell they were well liked. 4/5 stars
#2) La Villa
Hidden in a mini mall. This might've been the best slice of the day. The basil was on fire and they really mastered the art of crunchy exterior crust that blends into softness on top to perfectly accent the cheese (see also L&B Spumoni Gardens). A bit oily but the good stuff. The sauce was more chunky than thin which I appreciated. Very clean establishment. 4/5 stars
#3) Gino's
I knew upon sight that I wasn't going to like this but soldiered on anyway. It immediately revealed the sad, dumpy pallor of cafeteria ass Mcshitfuck pizza. Artless and by rote, I would accept this as good had I found it in Minnesota or an airport. I take that back, I've had better pizza at the Chili's in Miami International. The grandma was better than the regular slice but the crust was overdone. The decor of the restaurant was much nicer than it's product though they had a broken wooden bench outside that someone fatter than myself will eventually snap in half. 2.5/5 stars.
