Pronto Pizza

My first visit to NYC, so I'm not an expert on NY Pizza. I went not long after they opened, so the pizza was fresh and good. Wasn't as crispy as Joe's that I'd ate the day before, but all in all thought it was good. Some of the reviews were bad, but my experience was different. Close to WTC memorial and just felt like the NY experience. Price was about the same as other places unless you get premium toppings which throws you on the $6 a slice range. I opted for the pepperoni which is $4.50 a slice. They do have a clean restroom as well.

The crust was nice and crispy on the Honey Mustard Chicken slice, but a little soggy on the Broccoli Chicken slice. Both slices were "meh" regarding the toppings. I like chicken and these pieces were okay, not very spiced, but also not too small or dried out. Red sauce on the Broccoli slice was forgettable. Honey mustard definitely tasted as described. These topping combinations aren't common, but calling either a "specialty" slice to rack in an extra couple of bucks is kinda laughable. Price was high for a couple of slices of pizza, but you have to account for how close Pronto is to a couple of tourist spots. I wanted to try them anyways, so I sucked it up and opened my wallet. Owner/manager pushes you to get a second slice, even if you intend to, before you even finish telling him the first slice you want. I watched it happen to the guy in front of me and then he did the same to me. I would recommend walking the extra 3–4 blocks and getting Joe's for way better slices, or just about any other spot, to save a couple of dollars per slice. NY Pizza Suprema is much further away, but has breaded chicken cutlet pizza slices that are definitely worth a look if you like chicken on your pizza.

First time in the city and my hubby and I tried it, we loved it! I got the pasta and meatballs and my husband got the pizza(both were excellent)! The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere was what you would expect of a NYC resturaunt, especially near the WTC! Will definitely be back when we visit again!
