Review
Overview
Context
- Hofflohmarkt in Untergiesing
- Needed a break after 1 block
- Energy of two 80 year olds
Crust
- super crunchy, crispy, dry
- thin like a cracker
- flaking into sheets like the stucco of an Italian home in countryside
Sauce
- bright red
- well seasoned with herbs
Mozzarella
- creamy and milky and stretchy
Ham
- very meaty
- not salty enough to balance the pineapple
Pineapple
- super sweet, but not just sweet — also tart
- High grade canned pineapple — probably the best we’ve had in years
- chunks were really large, thick, and juicy
- a full ring encasing a black olive jewel crowned the pizza
Additional Thoughts
- top quality ingredients
- it didn’t quite come together in terms of the Hawaiian flavor
- Among the most Italian places we’ve seen (if not the most) that are brave enough to serve Hawaiian
- very poorly cut, just like Pepe’s in New Haven
- They make really good pizza (The Ortolana) but only a decent Hawaiian
