Most Famous Ben's Pizza Cost: $2.75 per slice Caitlin's Score: 7 Jed's Score: 6.5 Overall Impression: Not sure this deserves the moniker of "most famous", but it was pretty good. Crust was a little too burnt, yet the pizza was also not hot enough at the same time. I would still probably eat it every day for the rest of my life. |
.99 Cent Fresh Pizza Cost: .99 per slice Caitlin's Score: 5 Jed's Score: 7 Overall Impression: For a dollar a slice, the pizza was pretty damn good. Definitely the best deal of the bunch. At this price, you could either buy an Ipad, or eat dinner here every night for a year. That's an easy decision for me. |
Artichoke's Pizza Cost: $4.50 per slice Caitlin's Score: 6 Jed's Score: 6.5 Overall Impression: Despite it's name, we stuck with the plain slice in order to be able to compare places fairly. Coming in at a whopping $4.50 per slice, we had high expectations. Unfortunately, the pizza was pretty average and didn't justify the 4.5X price tag of the better-named .99 cent Fresh Pizza. If I ate this pizza everyday for a year, I would probably need to get a job again. |
Ray's Pizza (famous original) Cost: $3 per slice Caitlin's Score: 7 Jed's Score: 7 Overall Impression: As many New Yorkers know, and I learned from one of the many Food channel shows I have accidentally watched, there is a battle between which "Ray's pizza" is the true Ray's pizza. There is Ray's, famous Ray, original Ray's, famous original Ray's, and other such brilliant combinations. I do not claim to know which was first or which is the best, but for a tourist trap, this Ray's was surprisingly decent. Not the best pizza we had, but not the worst either. If I ate this pizza every day for a year, I would probably be pretty satisfied...and morbidly obese. |
Fiore's Pizza Cost: $2.50 per slice Caitlin's Score: 8 Jed's Score: 9 Overall Impression: The semi-sweet sauce, the cooked -to-perfection dough, the delicious cheese...ladies and gentlemen, we have an undisputed winner. Fiore's in Greenwich Village, well done sir, well done. If I ate this pizza every day for the rest of my life, I'd be...in heaven. I'm hungry. |
