Happy Little Pizza Review

So I was back in New York this past week, a sort of business trip. I was back there both to file the probate paperwork for my mother’s estate as well as have a job interview in central New York. The trip ended up connected to my baby sister’s family in a couple of ways. First, I was able to surprise my niece by showing up to her high school basketball game. I basically landed, got my rental car and drove off into the snow to show up at her game. Upon entering the gym my brother-in-law tapped my sister and said, “hey, isn’t that your brother?” It was a surprise for all of them. It was great to get to watch my niece play, unfortunately they lost but it was still fun for me to watch her play and visit with my sister.

My interview was near where my nephew attends college and so of course I called him and asked the most important question I can ask someone in my family, where’s the good pizza in Oneonta? He directed me at Tino’s on main street. Walking in I immediately felt good about his recommendation, the wall was covered with framed jerseys and minor league baseball pins. The staff had the right combination of attitude and friendliness and looking over the pies in the glass case everything looked good. So I ordered the slices pictured above and they were solid. The right level of crispy crust and the cheese and sauce were spot on. The pepperoni was good not great, but all in all really good slices.

The good news in that is that it meant I needed to text my nephew and let him know he could stay in the family.

When they brought my slices out they also brought out a little back of shredded mozzarella. Apparently it’s something they do they called a slice with cold cheese, so I gave it a try.

It was ok, I’ll never push back on free extra cheese and as it melted in and softened up it did add a little bit to the overall experience, but nothing I would pay for if asked. Of course, a decent pizza place is absolutely one of the criteria for any new place I might live, so we’ll see.

Have a happy day my friends ~ Rev Kane
