Ha, so ordering more than one topping is unsophisticated, even at a place where the toppings are canned--very interesting! As for the cheese, its lightness was not the problem--it was the crust, which is the building block of any good pie. I had supposed that pizza would be the "intelligent" choice at a pizza joint, but apparently not!

P.S. I will agree that the end slices were the part of the pie to pull from.

apparently they have an abusive delivery guy (owner?).

and btw the cognescenti always order an "end piece" of the pizza -- except a few old ladies i know who like the mooshad center squares.

TaB and TaB Energy are two different drinks.

it is very nearly always a mistake to order mushrooms on pizza if you are not at a 12-buck-and-something-individual-pie-artisanal-pizza place or in certain regions in italy. indeed ordering more than, perhaps, one topping is the sign of, um, let us say, an unsophisticated approach. indeed, if i were to eat pizza with good quality fresh mushrooms, i would more than likely eschew cheese altogether. this is the italian approach.

there are about a dozen good things on the menu at sg -- the spuomoni for one and the sicilian pie. that pie does not cater to the very american taste that deems more -- double cheese, as if! -- toppings the better. it is much closer to homemade italian american type pizza.

if i were in brooklyn, it's not the first pizza place at which i would eat (neither would difara's btw), but it's a very good if one (i) knows what to order (zucchini sticks, i don't think so) and (ii) understands the type of food they are serving (this will of course result in more intelligent choices -- escarole in garlic and oil eg).
