Fuel Pizza Cafe Review »
As the story goes, in 1999 (or thereabouts), three guys from New York wanted a slice of pizza and couldn't find one. So they stopped at an old gas station on Central Avenue in the Plaza Midwood area and created a "hand crafted" slice, with real mozzarella, rich tomato sauce and fresh ingredients.
Some seven years later, they have opened five other locations, including this spot on South Boulevard, and are still selling pizza by the slice (you can get whole pies, but the pizza buy the slice is a major draw). Sure, you can find a slice of pepperoni, but let's face it - why would you bother? You can get pepperoni anywhere.
If you're at Fuel Pizza, get something different, such as the Fuel Extreme (basically a meat lover's dream) or the Barbecue Chicken pizza. Both are good and have the aforementioned fresh ingredients - but I would probably argue that they are representative of New York style pizza. That's not to say that it's bad pizza. It's quite decent. but there is better pizza to be had in the city, and there is even better New York style to be found if you look for it.
