Perry's Pizza — Restaurant in Atlantic City

Title: A Slice of Disappointment at Perry's Pizza

Review:

Oh, Perry's Pizza on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, where the ambiance of the bustling boardwalk should have been complemented by a delightful slice of pizza. Alas, it was not to be. Situated in the storefront of the Tropicana Hotel/Casino, Perry's Pizza occupies a small space devoid of the luxury of indoor dining, a feature that starkly contrasts with the adjacent Tony Luke's, a sandwich restaurant that seemed to magnetize customers during my visit.

Upon my visit two weeks ago, I was greeted by two polite young men whose neat appearance could not compensate for their apparent inexperience and the lackluster pizza they served. The slice, though visually appealing, was a symphony of blandness, with a sauce that lacked the anticipated slight sweetness and cheese that was more plastic than gooey delight. The overall flavor profile was as flat as the boardwalk itself, with a hint of excessive saltiness that did nothing to enhance the taste. The pizza was edible but left my taste buds yearning for the robust flavors and textures that a good pizza should provide.

The limited menu added to the disappointment. The absence of classic pizzeria staples like Sicilian pizza, chicken parmesan sandwiches, pasta, and delightful desserts like zeppole or rice balls left a gaping hole in the culinary experience. And then came the bill – a staggering $10.93 for a single slice and a soda, a price that would have been justified had the pizza transported me to Italian shores with each bite. When inquired about the exorbitant prices, the justification was the resort/casino location, a claim that holds as much water as a sieve, considering Perry's Pizza's non-affiliation with the Tropicana Casino/Resort.

And oh, the receipt! In a peculiar move that could only be described as a modern mystery, the receipt lacked any address or contact information for Perry's Pizza. Perhaps it's a subtle hint to dissatisfied customers that feedback is not welcomed, or maybe it's just an oversight that aligns perfectly with the underwhelming experience.

Online reviews echo my sentiments, with a modest 3.7-star rating on Google at the time of posting this review, reflecting the mixed experiences of patrons. Complaints range from cold, soggy pizza that tastes like cardboard to slow service and high prices for subpar quality food. While some find solace in the convenient location and occasional flavorful slice, the consensus leans towards dissatisfaction.

In conclusion, if you find yourself wandering the Atlantic City Boardwalk with a pizza craving, Perry's Pizza stands as an option. But brace yourself for the possibility of a culinary letdown with a side of a hefty bill. The allure of the boardwalk deserves a pizza companion of equal charm and flavor, a quest that, unfortunately, Perry's Pizza...

We came here two years ago and the pizza was amazing. Unfortunately, not this time. The fact of spending $42 for a dry, thirst quenching, cardboard tasting pizza is ridiculous. After being told it would take 40-45 minutes and waiting for our name to be called just to never hear our name called my husband went to check on the pizza and it was sitting on top of the oven for 15 minutes. Btw you can’t get get a free cup of water, but they will charge you a credit card service fee. Go anywhere else but here. We both ate a slice of pizza and threw the rest away. It really was the worst tasting pizza...

Very friendly staff! Low key atmosphere, could be cleaner but reminds me of the pizza shops on the NYC streets so it's not bad. The slices are large and all about 5$ (little less) they reheat in the brolier before packaging and giving to you and they reheat them hot not warm which was great. A softer dough and greasy cheese. All in all worth the price especially if you want pizza on a rainy day and are staying in the Tropicana !

Update 2022 good pizza prices are now about $6-7$ a slice but staff is friendly service is quick and it’s right next to...
