I’ve been celebrating Feb 9 for years. Who needs an excuse to eat pizza? Naturally, 2 Amys was packed. Most may not fiend for pizza like I do, but everyone deserves a pie on the best holiday there is.
I’ve been meaning to make my way to 2 Amys for a long time. As I typically try the local pizza joints in my travels, I haven’t done much to explore the restaurants in my backyard. I’ve been missing out when it comes to this restaurant, let me tell you.
I’m a fan of any AVPN (Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana) certified restaurant. They just know how it’s done, and provide the genuine American Neapolitan pizza experience.
We opted for the pizzas to be served uncut. My understanding is that it helps to not soak the crust with the toppings, which is helpful with this style of preparation. Let’s just say the staff really got it done on a night they were packed for a pizza-centric celebration.
Margherita
Absolutely delicious ingredients – very fresh and authentic. The crust is as expected, doesn’t really support at all. There is a serious dearth of sauce here, my assumption is likely because of the crust. I’m a saucy guy, so I’m a little let down, but I understand. I do wonder if this is the AVPN style? The crust is strikingly similar to that of my local favorite, Pupatella. The sauce is wonderful, and I wanted more.
Norcia
There was a fair amount of oil to start. That said, the pie has a well balanced flavor profile. The parmesan is really nice touch. The salami is fantastic – crispy and fresh. I may defer to spicy salami, but this is surely a crowd-pleaser. Also, the sweet peppers are awesome…who doesn’t love peppers? Fun for everyone, even those who are sensitive to spicy pizza.
