#delucia's

Recently, while at a different pizzeria, I stumbled upon this article  from almost a decade back and realized the place ranked as having the best plain slice was a mere 10 minute drive from my job. Talk about destiny. As a brick oven pizzeria, DeLucia’s only did pies, so I got a small one in hopes I could polish the whole thing off on my own. After what felt like a half hour of waiting, my burning hot pie came out. While I was extremely excited to sample a slice, I was incredibly underwhelmed. All I could really taste was the hard, crackery crust. The cheese and sauce were a thin, mushy mess that tasted like nothing and just burned the roof of my mouth. The pepperoni side was a little better because it actually had some flavor, but it still wasn’t impressive. Needless to say, I will not be returning to DeLucia’s again. Spending $9.25 on an extremely mediocre personal pizza does not sound like my idea of a good time. Don’t believe the hype, The Star-Ledger does NOT know what they are talking about.
