Sizzle Pi - Kingston

Pi is 3.14, But Sizzle Pi is 5 Star!
In the course of reviewing pizzas for 5 years now, I have received many recommendations from hundreds of people. I have a few select people that I know personally and on social media whose recommendations I have grown to trust, and many of those people have repeatedly told me to try Sizzle Pi in Kingston. Quite frankly, there are only a handful of "must try bucket list" pizzas left in NEPA that are left for me based solely on the recommendations I have received over time and Sizzle Pi was one of them. Living quite a distance from Kingston, it's been a challenge for me to get there, but after having an appointment in town, I made it a point to finally stop in and give this highly regarded, yet little known pizzeria a try.


I took my first bite and immediately fell in love with this pizza. The crust was incredibly light and tender with a whole lot of flavor, and not too much oil which is usually a greasy trademark of a pan-fried pizza. It was equal parts crispy and chewy which was just a fabulous combination. The sauce was the best I've had on a pan-fried Sicilian as the onions appeared to have been cooked into the sauce creating a much smoother taste than many of the other pan-fried pizzas that have a simpler crushed tomato sauce with fresh onions sprinkled on top (but under the cheese). For those who don't like onions, let me just say, yes you can taste them, and yes there are some chunks in the sauce, but the flavors work so well, you might want to just give it a chance! The cheese provided a certain creaminess and a slight saltiness that pulled the whole thing together. As someone who has tried hundreds and hundreds of pizzas across NEPA, it's rare that I sit in a booth totally astonished by a pizza, but this was one of those seminal pizza moments where I know I was in the presence of something special in the most unlikely of locations. I knew before I finished my first slice that I would be awarding just the third 5-star perfect score in NEPA Pizza history!

UPDATE: I tried the pizza about 4 hours later cold, and it was still awesome! I also tried it the next day heated up in the toaster oven and it was excellent too. Really good stuff hot, cold, and reheated!
