Best pizza in the neighborhood, but that's more about the lack of good mom and pop pizza shops around here, than it is about the perfection of this Pizza Nova.
Truth is that 25% of the pizzas I get from here are outstanding, but the other 75% are just OK.
What's the difference? Well it's primarily about who is working the ovens that night.
The Pizza tends to be overcooked on the bottom and undercooked on top which is the sign of an oven that spends way too much time open. You have to get in and get out of the oven quickly to retain the Heat. Trust me I know this, via many years in the pizza business as a young man.
Pizza Nova has the best crust and the best sauce of any of the big pizza chains BY FAR, love their italian hot peppers, and great fresh toppings. Sadly I dont like their bland pepperoni at all, but more importantly, if they would just learn good oven management the pizza would be much better, more consistent, and I'd give them an extra star.
The polini and the potato wedges are actually surprisingly good for a pizza joint, the wings are just passable for oven baked wings, not as good as pub wings. And the focaccia barese is also quite good.
It's fortunate for them there's nobody in the neighbourhood making really great pizza like Danforth Pizza House and Fresca Pizza. Overall it's not too bad, and every third or fourth Pizza is really very good, if only they could be more consistent, I'd be a big fan. read more
