Pizza Tips & Ordering
π₯ Fresh vs. Reheated
At slice shops, ask if they can make a fresh pie. Many will if you're ordering 2+ slices. Worth the wait.
π§ Cheese Matters
Fresh mozzarella (wet, milky) vs low-moisture (classic stretchy). Both are validβit's about the style.
β° Best Pizza Times
Lunch rush (11:30am-1pm) means fresh pies. Late night (after bars close) has character but variable quality.
π Neighborhood Joints
The best pizza is often in unassuming neighborhood spots, not trendy downtown locations. Explore!
