Monster Pizza- West Village, New York City

(This entry is an older entry from my tumblr)

So over the weekend I had tried quite a few places. Originally on the 4th I was going to have my very first slice of The Pizza Box after review of how their slices looked when i walked in. Their pies were a little big for me so I walked a block to Monster Pizza.

Now Monster Pizza was a lil tricky to take a look at. I depended on their wood-burning oven to give me good results of their pies. Their pies are thin and flakey and was okay on the sauce to cheese ratio. However, all I had was disappointment…

For starters though, here’s the good…
1. They have a pretty good inch/price ratio for $9 a pie you get a 9 inch pizza which isn’t bad to feed one person

2. Their cheese wasn’t bad at all, they use fresh mozzarella for all their pies.

Now here’s when the fun kicks in…The sauce tastes like something you’ll find equivalent to ketchup and preggo sauce (mixed). It was very bitter and lacked the sweetness you’ll find in your standard pizza sauce. After about six slices i got sick of it and couldn’t eat it anymore. The sauce was too scattered around all over the place and there was even a section where there wasn’t any sauce at all (which was the better slice). It lacked the flavor i had expected ever at a place with a wood-burning brick oven. Each slice was very inconsistent and I found it equivalent to the mockery at Nonna’s restaurant in Little Italy (not to be confused with the fantastic pies in Staten island). I was very disappointed and I kinda wanted my money back (wish I didn’t eat most of it). Normally I never leave leftovers.

By The Way: I got food poisoning after eating this junk. My stomach was hurting directly after this crap and I had to run to a better place to leave me fulfilled for the fireworks display on the West Side.
