Scarr’s Pizza – New York, NY

Reviewing Scarr’s New York Slice and Sicilian Pizza

Taking a visit to New York Metropolis to strive a number of the legendary pizza spots is a frightening job with so many unimaginable spots to select from.  I’ve an enormous checklist and even a google map of all of the pizzerias within the metropolis that I might prefer to strive, however Scarr’s was one that basically caught my consideration.  Some trusted pizza snobs and readers frequently advisable the place and images of their pizza on social media actually simply spoke to me.  So on this journey to the town, I made positive to make my technique to Chinatown to strive Scarr’s NY and Sicilian slices.

The restaurant is fairly small and unassuming from the road.  If you happen to have been simply a median vacationer and never a pizza fanatic, you can stroll proper by it and assume it is simply one other one in all lots of of different primary pizza retailers.  We obtained there somewhat bit earlier than the place opened for lunch and have been first in line for slices, so I used to be excited to get the freshest pies of the day!

Scarr’s principally presents 3 sorts of pizza: New York, Sicilian, and Grandma with a variety of specialty pizzas on the menu together with vegan choices.  In addition they have a meals menu together with appetizers, heroes, and salad.  I used to be serious about pizza solely, and particularly a NY Slice and a Sicilian slice with pepperoni like I had seen on social media so many occasions.

One cool factor about Scarr’s setup is that the pizza counter is dealing with the sidewalk so I obtained to observe the pizza man expertly do his factor whereas he crafted our pizzas.  After they formally opened for the day, we requested what particular person slices have been accessible (they maintain a listing), and fortunate sufficient the 2 pizza slices I used to be searching for have been prepared, contemporary and accessible.  They reheated them and have been prepared very quickly. 

I knew instantly that these slices have been precisely what I used to be searching for.  The New York slice was enormous, razor skinny, and cooked and ready completely completely.  The crust was gentle, crisp, fantastically browned, tender, and fairly flavorful.  The sauce was vibrant, contemporary, evenly seasoned, and offered a stunning distinction to the marginally salty, splendidly stringy, and top quality cheese.  I did see that they add some parmesan-(kind) cheese beneath the mozzarella for some added richness and depth of taste which actually paid dividends.  For me, that is EXACTLY every thing a New York Fashion Pizza needs to be.  I would not change a factor about Scarr’s NY slice, it was excellent and I loved every chunk greater than the final.

The Sicilian slice was adorned with a mix of mozzarella and contemporary mozzarella cheeses which made it a gooey and supremely scrumptious medley of flavors and textures.  The pepperoni had unimaginable taste, with a touch of warmth, a kiss of char, and simply sufficient oil cooking out of the meat to let that tastiness run everywhere in the floor of the pizza.  The crust was thick, pillowy, and tender.  It was gentle to eat and simply as absolute masterpiece.

General, I must say each the NY Slice and the Sicilian Slice have been among the many finest I’ve ever had in every model of pizza.  As you possibly can see under, they each rated very excessive on my scoring system, however the euphoria the NY slice created for me made that my clear favourite.  It is a world class pizza from a tremendous pizzeria.  If you happen to’re touring in NYC, add this to your checklist of MUST TRY PIZZAS!

NOTE: After consuming the pizza and posting images on social media, I rapidly realized from my readers that Scarr’s extremely mills their very own flour on-site.  For extra on that, see this really interesting and well written article.  I hope to go to once more and maybe get a have a look at this flour milling operation!
