Patsy's Pizza Review (New York, NY 10035) »
In the eternal search for perfect pizza, we took our quest to the original Patsy's - all the way to Harlem. All the reviews say that if you want to find the best you have to visit the original location because of their coal-fired oven (now illegal). The dining room was sparse, but that's probably to be somewhat expected in this part of town at an off hour (around 2pm). Still, there was a decent crowd, perhaps a sign of good things to come.
The pizza was actually unique to those that had come before. Amazingly light, even for such a large pie. I'm not sure I had ever had such a light crust before. The only problem was that it was a bit limp. The flavor was good, don't get me wrong, and I'm glad that we went, but it wasn't something that made me want to go back. If you love pizza, you'll probably want to try it. If you just like pizza, you might want to skip it. But we're glad we did.
