Usually, when a pizzeria bills itself “New York Style”, they overdecorate the place with Big Apple paraphernalia (for “authenticity”) to hide the fact that they have no fucking clue as to what “New York Style” is. While Escape has the NYC décor in spades, don’t let that fool you. They know their shit (excuse my french). The crust is of perfect thickness, and there’s the correct balance of sauce and cheese. If you want a slice, there’s only three choices-cheese, pepperoni, and the special. If you’re into gourmet pizza with fancy ingredients, try Pizzicato. But if you want great pizza from an establishment owned by real New Yorkers, then come here! Tip: bring your East Coast pals here if they constantly moan, “there’s no good pizza on the West Coast.”
