Due to the closing of SoHo Pizza Factory a few months ago there have been no solution for great pizza in this area in Staten Island. Gino's VilleMonte, Mr Pizza Pasta House and D'Oro all make pretty subpar pizza. If you want great pizza you'll have to go as far as Forest Ave and South Ave.
Bario's is in the $1 slice craze. While it's not the best dollar spent, it is a value among the other spots on the island. You can get a sicilian, Grandma and Regular slice for a dollar +tax. So I guess it's not truly $1 pizza but $1.10. However, if you get an individual it's a womping $7. Now I am not complaining. I get pizza fresh, but that is not a good slice, price ratio.
I think they should slow down on making the house pies because they have that old crusty look to it before you order it. I am a fan of Fresh Pizza, along with any enthusiast out there, so when I don't see a fresh pie I either walk out or order an individual. I feel like if I order a slice I won't be able to properly review it. So I ordered a personal pie with an extra cup of sauce.
The pizza was a bit of a step forward, considering I don't go here to often. The times I do I get sick from the pizza being undercooked. This time the pizza had a nice crisp to it, but there was something missing.
The pizza itself has no flavor to it, to is very bland and it doesn't give that extra kick of flavor. I solutioned it with black pepper to make it stand out a bit. Also there is NOT ENOUGH SAUCE. The cheese was overpowering the pie and it made me feel like I was eating cheesy bread. With the sauce and pepper added it made a pretty tolerable pie! My stomach didn't hate me, which it usually does when I come here, and I had a decent experience.
If you're looking for dollar pizza in Staten Island this is the spot. It has an option to get individual pies which where you can't find anywhere else to properly taste it. While there overall score is a six in my book I come here when I either crave it (on a rare occasion) or if I want a fresher fix of pizza.
