As the Umami Empire continued to grow, to me it seemed only inevitable that it would eventually take on pizza. Enter 800 Degrees in Westwood, a Neapolitan style pizza place where customized pizza is king. They offer specialty pizzas, but the key to the place in my mind was to order a basic pizza (between 5.15 and 6.45) and load on the toppings for $1 each. This was the route I took.
You know you can request your pizza to be crispy instead of the way you got it, yes? All pizzas are made the way you got it unless you request it.
Fascinating. I’ll have to try that next time, as the crust was really held this pizza back from being amazing.
The pizza as delivered to you was properly made in the Neapolitan tradition. In fact in Naples they do not cut the pie into slices, it can either be folded in half or quarters to be eaten that way, or sliced with a knife and eaten with a fork. The 00 pizza flour that is used produces a softer crust then what you would traditionally find in either a NY style slice or any chain type pizza.
