There were several aspects of this pizza restaurant that left me feeling disappointed and considering it super overrated. Let's begin with the positive aspects. The space had a decent modern decoration, and the staff were friendly. However, even with friendly staff, one of them appeared sick and was coughing, which made me uncomfortable while placing my order.

I ordered two pizzas: the Garlic Chicken pizza and the Black Truffle pizza. The first issue I noticed was with the pizza size. The size advertised on the wall was larger than what was actually served. It felt more like a kids' size pizza for the full price. Moving on to the taste, the Garlic Chicken pizza was a letdown. It had a rancid flavor, possibly due to the added sesame, which didn't taste fresh. Additionally, the garlic taste was overpowering, and the chicken had a leftover taste. On the other hand, the Black Mushroom pizza was relatively better and could be considered above average.

Overall, the pizzas were overpriced considering their quality. I've had $1 New York-style pizza that was much better than what was served here. It felt unjustified to charge an extra $10 for a pizza simply because they added some nuts to it. Furthermore, the advertised prices on Google were per slice, not per pizza, which added to the confusion. I have attached a picture of the latest prices for reference. The overall experience left me feeling the prices were too high for the quality and the...

Proper Pizza Company is a hidden gem in the city. They serve up some of the best pizza I've ever had, and their gelato is to die for.

The pizza is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the crust is perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The toppings are generous, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. I've tried a few different pizzas, but my favorites are the Margherita and the Veggie.

The gelato is also amazing. They have a wide variety of flavors to choose from, and they all taste homemade. I especially love the double chocolate .

The service at Proper Pizza Company is also top-notch. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they're always happy to answer any questions you have.

I highly recommend Proper Pizza Company to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal. It's the perfect place to go for a casual dinner with friends or a romantic date night.

Additional notes:

The restaurant is vegetarian-friendly, and they have a few vegan options as well. They also have a great selection of beers on tap, and they make their own sangria. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, and it's a great place to go for a quick bite to eat or a leisurely meal. Overall, I would give Proper Pizza Company a 5-star rating. It's one of my favorite restaurants in the city, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and...
