Of course, vacation home rentals worldwide it suffers from being in a casino vacation home rentals worldwide (quelle horreur!) and it has no cache beyond that of pizza chef/owner Michael Vakneen and his troops slaving away at their ovens, putting out superlative pies that reminded me of really good, NYC street vacation home rentals worldwide pizza. He gets a nice, puffy/crispy crust from his dough that s more than worth the bread you ll pay for it.
Seriously, vacation home rentals worldwide though, Vakneen, like Due Forni, vacation home rentals worldwide takes seriously the mantra that ingredients matter, and you can taste the care he puts into his pizzas in the tangy/cheesy mozz/provolone blend he sprinkles on them right down to the fresh and sweet plum and cherry tomato sauce he judiciously drapes them with.
He even makes a vegan pizza (ugh!) from something called vegan mozzarella a fake cheese-like product (made from tapioca?) that was plenty runny but lacked the lactic larrup of the real thing. But for that, the rest of the pie was a vegetarians delight: roasted shrooms, artichokes and peppers mixed with sauteed spinach and that superlative sauce. Vakneen told me it s a huge hit with the Millennials, who apparently can t stand the thought of an actual milk product defiling the bodies they hold so dear.
Vakneen s white pizza is also a thing of beauty: a thin sprinkling of Parmesan on the dough gives it depth, while the mozz, ricotta, spinach and roasted garlic vacation home rentals worldwide provide vacation home rentals worldwide complexity. It s the sort of pizza you can happily take an extra slice of without guilt, and without fear you ll pop a button on the way home.
As good as every pizza was (easier to do when you make the crust count), it was the thick-cut pepperoni vacation home rentals worldwide that got our attention. One bite of this peppery vacation home rentals worldwide treat will have you swearing off generic versions forever.
The trouble with writing about pizza any pizza is there is only so much you can say about the good versus the bad stuff. Mediocre-to-bad pizza can be had on every corner of our humble vacation home rentals worldwide burg , but we ve had a renaissance over the past five years that has brought increased awareness of what a quality pie is all about. The hoi polloi will always vacation home rentals worldwide be fooled vacation home rentals worldwide by the Grimaldi s and the Radio Citys of the world because you can smother anything in red sauce and cheap ass cheese and the world will beat a path to your door but the cognoscenti is growing in numbers, and debates about fermentation time, crust formation, and ingredient provenance are now part of the conversation.
Pop Up Pizza is keeping that conversation going. Once you advance to its good stuff, it is well nigh impossible to retreat to mediocrity (much like with wine). Forget the challenging location (and the five (5) f*cking bucks they charge you to park redeemable but still a pain in the ass) and go see what all the shouting is about. Be forewarned however, this place will ruin you for (almost) any other pie in town.
Elv, if, and that s a big if, you happen to be downtowne or near the Fremont area than this joint is worth the effort. Good but not great pizza. Frankly I am inclined to like Decarli s Pizza better. Agree that Grimaldi s and Radio City are way over hyped and run of the mill. Settebello and Du Fori are very good, but you get better Pizza bang for the buck at Decarli s and great salads, and good( but not great) pasta choices.
The sauce at pop up was off the chain. Sweet and tangy. They do the crust well done which I love but I m sure they will hear gripes vacation home rentals worldwide that its overdone. For that I say no way. The location blows. Not their fault other than choosing it but if they were in the Sahara and jones area they would kill it.
