Pizza sadness

Hello,
This may be a controversial passage because everyone loves John's Pizzeria on Bleeker, well, I'll tell you I'm not that crazy about that sit down place. Mica and I just went there and their green salad was actually anemic yellow romaine hearts and pink tomatoes. The pizza was undercooked, the sauce was bland and the crust had no flavor! Maybe it was because we didn't get their signature meatball pie. I dunno.
In other pizza news, I noticed the John's on Bleeker (the stand up place) that sells slices had closed. I was surprised because that place was always crowded. The second location that is a couple of stores down is still open and selling the same great down and dirty slices. We were going to do a segment interviewing people asking why they chose one location over the other, even though it was the same pizza and owners, but I guess we'll shelve that idea.
We will be doing a pizza show to celebrate pizza month in October, so stay tuned.
Best,
Liza

At last a fellow New Yorker who agrees that John's is just so much hype. I've been twice, trying to like it, and realized that it just isn't good. Grimaldi's, Lombardi's, Totonno's, Di Fara's are the greats. I would put John's on the level with Famous Ray's - a piece of history, but not a very quality one.

The fact that it wins a Citysearch award all the time only makes me think less of Citysearch.
