I’m having one of those ‘nope, not getting dressed or going out’ kind of days. I’ve been working steadily and decided to order a pizza for dinner. I hit Google and found Lucy’s Authentic New York Pizza, which had rave reviews.

There are all sorts of opinions about what’s the best pizza. I’m a New York slice gal, with the chewy crust, brick cheese, and mild tomato sauce. Anything else is pizza, yes, but not quite right and leaves me profoundly unsatisfied.

I put in an order for a 15″ pie, just sauce and cheese, and was told delivery would take 45 minutes. The pie was here in under 20 minutes!

And what a beauty it was…

It looked pretty right. Not quite enough cheese and certainly not greasy enough, but very promising. The sauce was spot on. The crust was a little too done, so more crispy in bits than chewy, and the edge not quite doughy enough. But I’m quibbling because I do like the slightly charred taste of crust fired in a super hot oven.

It was definitely not the best New York style pizza I’ve ever had, but it was definitely the best pizza I’ve had in my travels, not counting visits to my mother’s to enjoy a Tre Colori pie.

Idaho Falls, you’re damn lucky to have Lucy’s! And you’re closer than Chambly, so now I’ll have to find an excuse to come here a couple of times a year…

The pie was very reasonably priced, too! $13.61, including tax, for a 15″, no delivery charge, and I tipped $2. I’ll be able to nibble at cold slices all weekend. 🙂
