Thanks to Van (Instagram: @mrs_vanity), we got to try the iconic “Pepperoni Square” at Prince Street Pizza (@psp_nyc). The walls of the establishment are covered in framed photos of famous people, ranging from celebrities in show business to politicians to sports stars.
From the time of our arrival at this iconic New York joint until I had my slab of pizza gobbled up and fingers licked clean, the queue of customers (it stretched out the entrance and down the street) never ceased. Yup, there is no denying their pizza is popular. There is also no denying it is as oily as hell due to the way the discs of pepperoni curl up during the cooking process to become mini “reservoirs of oil”. But such unbridled deliciousness (it’s loud, it’s proud, it’s highly expressive in flavour) can inspire all caution (along with conscience) to be thrown to the wind.
