23rd Street Pizza

I’m almost certain I ordered a Steak Out, but what arrived was definitely a Meat Feast. A Meat Feast by any other name is still a Meat Feast, and is really not my favourite pizza. So we were off to a bad start. After picking off the bits of meat I found least appealing (pepperoni and chicken) it wasn’t too bad. Nice as takeout style pizzas go. Also, huge. I wisely ordered a half pizza and could only eat two slices in one sitting. Mozzarella sticks were fine, nothing exciting. The deal cost me £12 with free delivery which is alright for the sheer amount of food you’re getting. I would order from here again if I was after that sort of thing, though maybe over the phone so they can’t send me the wrong pizza.

23^rd where have you been all my Unilocaling life, in fact nay maybe more than my Unilocaling life.
So I took a break from my oriental expedition I’ve been doing for the last couple of months, you’ve gotta have a change, and I’m so glad I did and took a punt on this place.
It’s on the Just-​eat app so that’s always one of my first ticks.
They deal in some serious Dough here and have clearly been listening to ladies complain about size (cos that’s always about pizza right??) They only do one size of pizza… 20inch, yes 20inches of pizzarey goodness.
Granted there are options to just order a slice or a half, but who would do such a thing! well maybe sensible people but I’ve never claimed to be that.
Now I read some of the reviews and there were some unhappy people, but there were also a lot of very happy people and the happiness outweighed the sadness so it seemed reasonable they were ‘blips’
I also love sides, yes I’d just done a 20inch pizza but we’ve already established me food sensible is not a accurate thing and never will be. So seasoned & spices fries went on as well as Mozzarella sticks (technically it was part of a meal deal ok, I’m sucked in by advertising… when it’s takeaway food… and supermarkets)
I also chucked on a milkshake as one of my housemates a few weeks ago had one from another pizza place and it was amazing so I figured I’d see if these were the same type of shake (i.e. did everyone get theirs from the same place) or something a bit different.
Now the actually behemoth of a pizza. I chose the veggie option, Peppers, Onions, Black Olives, Spinach amazing except for one minor detail, the veggie has one failing point missing from it. MEAT, but that’s ok because I just added Tikka Chicken and sliced steak on it… BOOM! now we’re ready.
I ordered earlyish for a saturday I suppose 6.15, the app told me it would be with my at 7pm, many of the unhappy reviews had been about lateness but I wasn’t too bothered it wasn’t like I had anywhere to be I was settling in for a TV mammoth session of films.
No need to worry though It arrived just before 7, brilliant… and it was at this point my brain registered how large a 20inch pizza is… :D … :S … :/​… :D
The pizza was delicious, my word I haven’t had pizza this great in literally years I’m not even sure what pizza I could compare to it I was so happy with it, the ingredients were all full of flavour, the base was reasonably thin which meant you were just filling up on dough brilliant. Thin base did make the first couple of slices initially interesting to try and eat, but after those I was a pro at the physics of fold and lift.
the BBQ dip that came with the pizza for the crusts had quite a spicey kick to it, the glaric herb mayo was standard. The base being thin though and not stodgy meant I could happily eat the crust without the dips for the most part.
The fries good, seasoned not dissimilar to Almost Famous winning fries
Mozzarella sticks, fine just what you expect from them
The Milkshake… sadly this was bad, they talk about their milkshake being awesome thick affair for your tastebuds. But I think to keep it cold they pile in loads of crushed/​shaved ice, so by the time it gets to you sadly its a watered down minimal flavour cup of disappointment. Oh well you live n learn, everything else meant I barely spent another moment thinking about it.
Oh and the meal deal came with a large bottle of Fizzy drinkage… they have Fizzy Vimto it makes me so cuddly and fuzzy inside!!!
Overall, I’m not bothering with another pizza place unless this place start messing up. I have definitely found what I’m after in pizza takeaway delivery goodness
Some may say then why the 4 star, and you’d be right to question this place definitely ticked my boxes but if it wants 4 stares it’ll have to perform consistently for that.
Oh and for anyone thinking I’m some kind of food shoveling bin with all that food, of course it wasn’t all eaten last night, I’m not that much of monster… Todays lunch was delicious too
