Good Evening!
So, DR elmore and I gave the new pizza place in his 'hood a try, Dean's. It actually just got a nice write-up in the NY Times, and I was afraid it was going to be packed, but we happened to arrive during a slow time, and we had nice table "outside" right next to a tree/bush/something tall and leafy.
Pretty good pizza. It's owned by the same family who run Patsy's Pizza, Angelo's Pizza and a few other parlors around town. It's a thin crust pizza that's not too thin, but still manages to be crispy with a nice chew. It's apparent the service is still being worked out - although, I think they just need more waitstaff - but the pizza was very good. And we happened to run into some friends of DR elmore as they were leaving the place. I guess my only real complaint was that the pizza was not "burn the roof of your mouth" hot - fresh out of the oven. The pizza wasn't cold, but I could tell it had been sitting out for a few. -And I also kept spying one of the runners who kept trying to deliver pizzas to various tables, but would end up at the wrong table, and then have to run back to the order station - pizza in hand - to ask where table #-whatever was.
But, again, good pizza. I have a feeling DR MBarnum may be dining there next week.
