New York Standards Upheld at Baby Doll Pizza

Comments

Sorry, but a pizza with barely any sauce or cheese and scant, thinly-sliced toppings sounds very weak. It doesn't weep any oil because it lacks cheese, and hence, substance. Sure, they may eat neatly, but this is an inferior way to analyze New York style pizza, or any pizza for that matter. Seems like their just trying to keep their food costs down by skimping on ingredients. Little Caesars sounds better than this one.

Yay, another New York style pizza place. How exciting. Sorry if the sarcasm isn't coming through in print.

This town will never understand what truly great pizza is. Apizza Scholls is the only place that comes close. Thank god, I'll be back in Milwaukee next month where I can enjoy a decent pie. The new Pizza Man should be open by then. Might trek down to Chicago for a proper deep dish too.

Chris, please don't give full reviews for places like this in the future. Any of us can go and try a slice for ourselves with little risk. Save your reviews for eateries with more varied menus or that are likely to cause a person to pause before deciding wether or not to spend their hard earned dollars there. Pizza places like this are kind of a no-brainer.

This place is motherfucking delicious. Plus, the soda fountain has a Lori Laughlin trading card taped to it

Apizza Scholls sucks! Just because it's hard to get doesn't mean it's better. A hipster walks into a bar full of hipsters and says: 'This bar sucks, it's full of hipsters!"
Go to Hogan's Goat or Sizzle Pie. Boycott Scholls! F that place.

^^Disagree on the pizza but I witnessed what you described a few days ago and it was very funny. Said "hipsters" debated amongst themselves what he meant. Bonus laugh : the guy who said this (more or less) ...big frame glasses, "ironic" (or stupid ) facial hair and a sweater that bore an uncanny resemblance to waldo. For real. DO I have video? Of course not, which is why I will always be a poor nobody. Sigh

I would go for the Lori alone!

Ok, keep eating your reheated waxy cheese and cardboard. Like I said, this town will never know what truly great pizza is.

My apologies to Baby Doll. My comments are not directed at them, but to the Portland pizza scene in general. I find it hard to believe that people love eating reheated slices of pizza. It seems like something you settle for instead of craving. Just wish there were more options like pizza made by real Italians as opposed to New York style by 20 something hipsters.

If that's your thing than by all means give Baby Doll a try. If Chris says it's good then it's definitely worth a shot.

Bring Back Stark Naked.....duh. This place will go out of business faster than.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz woop! ... I'm sorry I just bored myself to sleep talking about this place.

This place is right near my apartment and I had never been. Because of this review, I went on Friday and had some amazing pizza. Amazing. I am not a pizza snob because there are other things to worry about – like diabetes and sport hunting. This pizza was great and I will be back numerous times. Thanks for the tip!

What makes New York pizza New York pizza is that it's cheap and everywhere. $17 ( with cost of living factored in that's probably equivalent to like $25 in NY ) for what a New Yorker calls a "plain" pizza is already NOT New York style.

That it doesn't drip a lot of grease also means it is most definitely NOT New York style.

The sauce is extremely simple and barely herbed: NOT New YOrk. Thinly painted, vailed on: NOT New York

Maybe this place is good, I haven't tried it. Whatever it is though it is NOT New York style in any way except maybe that the crust isn't really thick? Um... ever heard of a New York Sicilian?

This is what a NY pizza looks like:

And it costs about $3 a slice for the above. Much less for a slice of "plain" pizza, especially if you go outside of Manhattan.

I find it extremely confusing that people in Portland don't get this. I know y'all have been to NY. WTF did you eat there? Definitely not bagels, and definitely not pizza.

Please wait...
