Pronto Pizza - New York City - NEPA Pizza Review

NEPA goes NYC!

I know that I’m the NEPA Pizza Review, but I couldn’t resist going on a pizza binge on a recent family trip to NYC! I hit mostly “touristy” pizza shops due to a lack of time in the schedule, but this is one stop among 9 pizzerias that I feasted on in 3 days! Yes I felt totally gross after eating all that pizza, but I felt an obligation to keep going so that I could report back to the 570 to let you know how our pizza stacks up against the Big Apple.

Pronto Pizza was absolutely insulting to me. The charged among the highest prices in New York for a slice of pizza and it was absolutely terrible. Not only was this the worst pizza in that I tried in New York, but it was among the worst I’ve ever had – EVER! The pizza was old, and I should have walked out when I saw premade pizzas stacked on top of one another with no tray, wax paper, or anything in between, just cheese and sauce from the bottom pizza touching the crust of the next pizza up. The most disgusting thing was that I selected a margherita slice that looked fresh from a distance, but when I received it and took a closer look, I found they constructed the Margherita slice on top of an old slice. I’ve made thousands of pizzas in my career, and there was no way these slices were less than several hours old, they were bitter, soggy, flat and decomposing. The pictures actually don’t do the poor quality any justice. The customer service was poor, and I would have known all of this if I consulted google, trip advisor, or Yelp – all of which give this place ridiculously low ratings. But, I guess when you’re in the center of a tourist trap and they don’t know any better it doesn’t matter what kind of pizza you serve. AVOID THIS PLACE!
