I love a bubbly crust as much as anyone, but I appreciated their dedication to covering as much surface area with toppings as they could on a pay-per-slice dish. The slices are huge, toppings almost to the edge to maximise space. The pizzas came quicker than a New York minute thanks to that heated counter.
Unable to shake the feeling that I needed to try the hot honey, I did order a side of fries with the drizzle on too, so I wasn't missing out.

So when I found myself in Moseley one weekday evening this week, I thought I'd try and chase the feeling. We stood on the street eating them from flimsy paper plates that were only just fit for purpose, watching New Yorkers doing all the things they do on the street at 10pm.
My pocket was jangling with quarters after an evening playing video games at an arcade bar (not dissimilar to our own NQ64 in Digbeth) and I slammed a fistful of them down on the counter at a slice shop, asking for as many pieces of pie as it would afford us. One of my fondest food memories can be tracked back to the last time I was in New York.
