Best Thin Crust Pizza: TND Deuce Pizza Bar
You may not believe it, but the city’s best thin crust pizza is served in the same space where punks with backpatches and leather-clad goths mix easily with Americana fans who’ve sauntered over from a show at Heights Theater. The place is TND Deuce Pizza Bar in the Heights. The crowd which populates The Deuce on busy nights may argue over music selections from the free jukebox. They may quibble over the vast array of beers and wines in coolers behind a long, slithering, blood red bar, or whether to try a sturdy and affordable cocktail. One thing upon which they all agree is the crunchy, deeply satisfying goodness of the bar’s thin crust pizza, our choice for the city’s best offering of America’s favorite pizza variation.
We always start simple, with pepperoni, the go-to which tests the mettle of any pizza establishment. The crust is wafer-thin (say it in a French accent, Monty Python fans) yet still supports the tasty toppings. What’s supposed to be crisp is as crisp as your pristine thoughts right before you consume a high-dose THC gummy. Everything that’s supposed to be gooey is as gooey as your brain an hour after consuming that gummy. Eating at The Deuce is a great high.
Let that not suggest The Deuce is only for stoners and drinkers. Foodies of every ilk can appreciate choices like Popeye and Olive (spinach and Greek olives) or a pie topped with anchovy, goat cheese and capers named The Stanky Whore. Yeah, it ain’t Chuck E. Cheese.
