Huntington Edition: Square Slice Pizzeria

Square Slice Pizzeria is located inside an arcade in Huntington and features deep-dish pizza. Now, "deep dish" is a bit controversial, because we're not talking like a Chicago-style pizza that has layers of toppings. Instead, we're really talking about a thicker crust.

"It all starts with the dough. Each of our delicious deep dish pizzas feature an 8x10 focaccia that we make from scratch daily. Every pie is topped with generous portions of cheese that melt and form a crispy “crown” around the entire crust. Our signature sauce is crafted with whole plum tomatoes and a proprietary blend of herbs and spices. Select toppings such as Ezzo Pepperoni and Old World Sausage alongside fresh and ripe produce seal the deal before heading into our stone fired oven and finished with fresh shaved parmesan cheese. Add an optional hot honey drizzle for the full experience."

I ordered a pizza with mushrooms, and I tried telling myself in my head to not expect Lefty's, which I desperately miss from Morgantown. It was tough to not compare the two though, as they ended up looking pretty similar. A large personal pizza or small to share. A beautiful caramelization crisp on the edges. Sauce on top of the cheese.

For the most part, this was a pretty good pizza. I like the flavor of the sauce and the extra-done edges. But, there was too much oil/grease that overtook a lot of the flavor. I don't know if the bread soaked up too much or it was old or what, but that cheese and sauce would've shined even more if not for that.

Still, it was an above average pizza for me - I just want it to punch me in the tastebuds next time.
