Nizza Pizza — Restaurant in Fort Worth

Oh. My. Friggen. GAWD. I was born and raised on Long Island (which objectively based on statistics has better pizza than Manhattan FYI) and have the absolute highest, somewhat unhinged standards for pizza. Spoiler alert 99% of pizza that doesn't come from Long Island, The Five Boroughs, or certain parts of New Jersey is absolute trash that would get murked by Dominos in a blind taste test.

10 years ago I left New York for school in Australia followed by a four year stint in California until ultimately landing in Fort Worth permanently earlier this year. I was utterly convinced by experience and implicit bias that I would never get to regularly enjoy pizza again. This wasn't hard to believe given that pizza in Australia is more of a fancy flatbread and in California a slightly less fancy DiGiorno, and quite frankly I've tried around seven of the highest rated pizzerias in FTW and they were unanimously garbage across the pizza scorecard.

Enter Nizza Pizza. Modest reviews on Yelp, but with a review featuring a glowing comparison to NYC pizza. The only pizzeria on the delivery options list I hadn't tried, I figured worst case scenario I'll waste another $25 on inedible pizza and stuff my face with Doritos and Pabst Blue Ribbon for dinner. Immediately on opening the box I knew this was no imposter pizza. The crust, amount of cheese and its color, and general visual appeal was unmistakable for what should amount to be a damn good pizza. And this pizza was damn good.

We ordered half cheese, half pepperoni as pepperoni is delicious but you never truly know a slice until you've had it in its purest form. I start with the pepperoni - it's delicious. The crust actually tastes like pizza crust. Not some weird floppy dense bread that accounts for 90% of the pizza's mass, authentic God-fearing pizza crust. The cheese was high quality and just the right amount. The sauce wasn't sugary, and was just rich enough to cut through without being overly salty. Pepperoni was thin and not chewy. Alright, so yeah, now I've had this pretty good slice of pepperoni - but I need to see what flavors are being steamrolled by it. On to the plain cheese.

The. Best. Pizza. I've. Ever. Had. Outside. Of. New. York.

Perfect. Everything about it was perfect. Nizza Pizza dunks on good majority of the pizzerias I've had across NY and if my brain wasn't consciously aware that it was made in Texas I'd just assume it was a great local slice from Long Island.

I love you Nizza Pizza. Please don't ever leave us. You've done the impossible. You've brought the region-locked pinnacle of pies to...

Ordered a single plain cheese pizza.

Husband had gone to get it and they were scrambling to put it in a box and send it out. Looked like they didn't even let it finish cooking. Crust was pale and in spots very undercooked. Cheese was a sloppy slippery mess, kept sliding all over the crust and an inordinately excessive amount of sauce. They "sliced" it but it honesty looked Iike they sliced it BEFORE it cooked. There were clear perforations but no actual defined and cleanly cut slices. I had to struggle to take a pizza cutter to this undercooked mostrosity.

I was upset but thought I was judging unfairly, so I went ahead and gave it the benefit of the doubt and tried some. Picked the pieces that looked okay where the crust didn't look undercooked. It honestly didn't taste awful but I definitely shouldn't have taken a chance on it. Later I spent a good hour or two hunched over the toilet throwing up half-digested pizza-saucy mess.

We've had Nizza Pizza before and never had this issue. I don't know why this particular time we were given such a revolting pie. It definitely has marred my opinion of the place, though, and I doubt I'll chance it again.

If you order from here and they sell you an undercooked mess, learn from my mistake....

The food was DELICIOUS, but I don't know if it was Nizza or Grubhub but the order couldn't have hardly been more effed up. At first I thought that I had received the wrong order, but then noticed that some of the items were correct. I didn't get any calamari, wife didn't get any dressing for her Greek salad, and instead of a tiramisu for her and a cannoli for me we got 2 tiramisus. I spent over $70 on an order that was half wrong. I also got charged a delivery fee that was supposed to be free on a first order. I don't like giving it 1 star because the food was excellent, but the execution of the order was dismal.

You ordered: Bruschetta Received Calamari Fritti Not Received Tiramisu Received 2 Cannoli Not Received Greek Salad Received but dry - no dressing Lobster Ravioli Special Received

I don't know what the numbers are out to the left of the item. It must be a menu designation because it's clearly...
