Baratta's grinder. No melted cheese atop. None is needed, and would have been a distraction from the saucy, well spiced sausage | Scornovacca's grinder. The sausage is a little more saucier as Baratta's, but not nearly as flavorful. The cheese adds little for flavor to this sandwich. This grinder would appeal to those who shy away from spicy foods. |
Scornavacca's sausage pizza. Chewy crust, crunchy edge. Mild red sauce, a few pieces of Italian sausage. Cheese is the most dominate flavor. Kids will like enjoy this slice. | Bordenaro's sausage pizza. Thin tavern-style crust, crisp on the edge. In fact, it shatters. A spicy pizza, the zest lingers for minutes. Would have enjoyed this slice more if it had not dried out in the pizza carousel. |
Gusto's Sinatra pizza. Pepperoni cut into strips is a nice variation. Sauce has a nice savoriness, with a flavor reminiscent of mild red chile. Thin crust like Bordy's, but the edge is crisp without being dried out. | Gusto's Frank's Pizza. The eggplant melts in your mouth. Pesto, balsamic vinaigrette, and the odd chunk of Roma tomato add zip. Crust really shines with these complimentary toppings. Nice light char on the bottom, more pronounced on the edge. |
