I havent been there in awhile. The pizza enticed me the first few times because I was just looking for anything reminiscent to home but it just doesnt do it for me anymore. The pizza is better though if you happen to be lucky enough to get them from a freshly made pie. The worst is going in there and seeing slices left over from the afternoon and having them reheated, at 13rmb a slice. I also do not know why they have pre-made topping configurations when you can just add the toppings then reheat the pizza for longer.
Im sorry but Haley is laying into this place way too much. I am a big pizza fan and have found some real crap Pizza round shanghai. This is one of the better places and the price is not bad! A whole pizza now sets you back around 100 and that will feed 2 - 3 people! Super thin, super tastey! Just closes too early :) Would be a great late night pizza place as i live opposite.
The only thing reminiscent of New York in this place is the price they charge – considerably higher than the outdated review above. As of December 2007, prices start at 13 RMB and go up from there, and a large pie will set you back well over 200.
And what do you get for those New York prices? The thin flaky crust? Well, it is thin, but it’s basically just a chewy French bread recipe baked thin, nothing like the real thing. Home made sauce? It may, indeed, be homemade because it is an utterly ghastly and unsightly reddish-brown smear of mystery goo. Forget about those famous NY sauces with plum tomatoes, onions, and fresh herbs. A bottled marinara sauce would be an improvement. The simple tomato and basil pizza without the sauce (a blessing!) is perhaps the only pizza in house with a fresh ingredient – a tomato – but then even it uses dried basil flakes!
Shanghai is full of fakes. It’s perhaps not so bad when you can buy them for fake prices, but that’s not the case at New York Pizza.
