Update: I think they changed their cheese - the cheese is more of a lower quality one. Also their dough is not as crunchy and more chewy now. That NY crunch is gone. Had to change from 5 to 4 stars ????. I'm hoping it is temporary...But still a great slice.
I'm from New York, I grew up eating NY pizza, and now living in Asia I make my own. I search near and far for any pizza places that call themselves "New York pizza" and I try all of them, but 95% of the time, they should not be attaching the "New York" name to their pizza. Walking into the place, it smelled like a new york pizzeria and looking at the place it suggested the owner lived in NY or knows quite a bit about it. Taking a bite of the cheese slice (real ny pizza is mostly eaten just plain cheese!) told me the owner knows how a NY slice should taste like. Probably one of the best NY pizzas I've had not just in Jakarta, but ANYWHERE outside of NY. The Sicilian is just ok, but the cheese slice is legit. So happy to find a pretty authentic NY slice in the country I now call home!
