Ordering whole pies, enjoying it piping hot. Totally different ballgame. Joe’s SM may not approach the divine stuff you’d get in NYC, but hey it’s pretty great.

Have you ever ordered with extra pepperoni? I’ve had great slices at Prime in Japantown but agree with the scant amount of pepperoni. My kids love their garlic knots.
I’d still take Superfine in its prime over Prime or Pizza Wagon but it’s splitting hairs. All of them are great and happy to have them all.

Been following this on his IG stories. Repugnant. I will stick to Prime’s square pies.

As an Asian, I will never step foot in Prince St. I’m glad I never went. I have my own pizza oven anyways.

Wow, interesting…I loved Joes in SM when they opened probably 15 years ago…ive felt they declined significantly but maybe I should pop back in…Vito’s on SM Blvd near cloverfield is/was right up there…and def agree with Gr8pimpin re the general sparseness of the pepperoni on Prime pizza

yeah, that was a real disappointment to read about the racist attitudes of the owners…

Hey Gr8pimpin and the rest of the pizza fanatics here…just tried an interesting new pizzeria in Westwood, Prince of Venice, on Broxton near Kinross. it’s Roman-style al taglio with slices pre-cut and $5 per slice…Potato, pepperoni, Margherita(but no basil), veggie, meat lovers(to much meat for my taste, including chicken, which I don’t want on my pizza). I tried the pepperoni and the potato…both were very good but I feel the crust is too thick for pizza Romana, it’s actually more the thickness of a Sicilian slice…on the positive side, the crust was fairly airy, not really dense at all…I asked to make it hot and that gave it a perfect crispness…the pepperoni were not the little cups but bigger flat slices that gave good coverage to the slice…very tasty but not the pepperoni we’ve grown accustomed to…the potato slice was tasty but maybe could’ve used a bit of salt, and thats not something I would normally think necessary…anyway, they’ve Benn open a little more than a month…the $5 slice is fairly big and they sliced in half diagonally, which is a good idea…I have a half slice each that I brought home…im pretty sure they will reheat well…Oh, by the way they serve quite a few pastas that look quite good, a couple salads and desserts, including gelato…id say overall, an excellent addition to a neighborhood that until now lacked good pizza. wonder why I don’t see the upload photo icon…oh well

While I enjoyed my pasta at Prince of Venice back when they first opened, I wasn’t sure what Venetian-style pizza would look/taste like. The slices here reminded me of Sicilian-style. Or the pizza from the elementary school cafeteria.

Pretty sure they had a truck and just went brick and mortar.
A few folks on FTC had pasta there. Been on my “to try” list.
Thanks for the report!! I look forward to trying pizza.

you thought the pizza was the quality of an elementary school cafeteria? I agree, def more Sicilian style but I thought it was tasty, though too thick
if you do try it, def tell them hot…otherwise, if baked less the thick crust could be unappealing

I had fond recollections of that elementary cafeteria pizza during my youth, so I was sorta paying them a compliment. What are some of the classic features of the Venetian school, within general pizzology?

I have no idea what Venetian pizza is supposed to be…thiis place refers to their pizza as al taglio, so I suppose the intent is for it to be Roman style…again, pretty tasty but the crust was too thick for my taste
