    First Taste: Ignazio's Pizza in Dumbo 

    The White

    You might have heard the drama. It went something like this. “A new pizza place is opening next to Grimaldi’s they must want a war, why would they open there.” Well they did open, well, soft opened today for lunch and in one word.. EPIC…

    The pizza was absolutely awesome. Thicker crust than Grimaldi’s but just slightly, giving a great crunch that I look for in pizza. The slices are not sloppy or overly loaded with sauce or cheese. The staff looks like they are from a Grateful Dead concert, but it doesn’t matter because they are so friendly you are put immediately at ease. Definitely stop by there and get a pie in the next month before the tourists take this place over!

    Edit: In the interest of fairness there has a been a bunch of comments speaking about the poor quality of this place, as you can see below or through a search on Yelp. I have not experienced this, but others have and its worth noting that there have been wildly different reviews of this place, so take any review with a grain of salt.

      It seems the war was won by Grimaldi’s. Every time I walk by there are more waiters/staff than guests while the line at Grimaldi’s is still long. I actually stopped going to Grimaldi’s as I swear the pizza is not that good anymore.

      Let me also add, closing a restaurant at that side on a Sunday does not necessarily appear as a smart decision to me.

      I called for delivery today, ask for a large thin crust greek pizza or something similar. the girl said no problem, and it should b e apprx 20 minutes.

      What we received was plan cheese, and probably the worst pizza I have ever had. I would recommend Pizza Hut over this place. Or better yet, DiGourno’s.

      We went last weekend. A big mouse ran under our table.
