“Fork and knife pizza”… because the oven isn’t hot enough? I get Neapolitan, but the crust has no structure at all. The sauce is so delicate and subtle, it barely makes an impact with the excess. The basil wasn’t spread, the mozzarella buffala is alright, but not mindblowing. They do have chili oil though! Diavola had excellent toppings, but same story with the base. I would come back to see if I maybe caught an off night. Awesome restaurant though.
