New New York pizza in WR
Navigate the busy parking lot to the back corner of the Lancaster Smokehouse and look for the neon cartoon pizza slice perched on the wood-frame lean-to.
The jolly little pepperoni isosceles, pet-named “Happy Slice” with a Robert Crumb “Keep on truckin’” hippie strut, marks the spot for picking up New York-style pizza, a new ancillary take-away business of the landmark Smokehouse.
The menu is seven 18-inch pizzas including basic cheese, cupping pepperoni, an “obligatory” barbecue (of course) and the playful “Hawaiian-Ish” with mango.
I tried the vodka sauce version – a pizza riff on pasta alla vodka — with a blush-cream sauce, fresh mozzarella, aged mozzarella, pecorino and fresh basil.
Verdict? Delicious pizza with a hint of acidity yet a smooth mouthfeel and excellent crust.
