Koronet Pizza

Koronet Pizza is located on the Upper West Side in a small pizzeria. This size of the venue may be misleading, since the size of a slice there is enormous. Every pie is made extra large, which is the norm at Koronet and for its customers. You definitely won't see people ordering a couple slices here, one is big enough. I dare anyone to try to eat this pizza with just one hand.

Koronet is distinguishable for one reason: their gigantic slices. I had never eaten or seen a slice so big before. At Koronet, every pie is made the same way, so you better come hungry. The pizza itself was pretty good, I liked the cheese more than the sauce though. The bread and crust were crisp and cooked well; it was able to hold the big slice together. The slice itself also looked great, resembling what a classic pizza shop slice should look like. The service at Koronet was great too, I got my food quickly from a friendly employee. Koronet has many pies prepared for peak hours, so you won't be waiting long.

Although I like the pizza at Koronet, there wasn't anything special about the way it tasted. It was very plain, which can sometimes be both a good and bad thing. Plain is good when you try to serve good pizza, but being exotic and taking risks is what makes the good pizza into the best pizza.

I gave Koronet a B because I really liked how big their slices were. That definitely helps the pizzeria stand out from others in the neighborhood. However, I think the slice was very ordinary and not rich in any aspect.

Koronet Pizzeria is located at 2848 Broadway between 110th and 111th streets.
