Forget the ambiance and decor (the little that exists doesn't warrant much discussion). And certainly forget the unfriendly little troglodyte who sells beverages and ice cream beside the pizza counter (note to that guy: get another job. fast).

The pizza at Spiritus is wonderful. Just so we're clear, I had their pizza while I was completely sober. I wasn't some 1am barfly who was so wasted that my hunger would have been just as easily satisfied by a vending machine sandwich.

My friends and I shared a whole pie, half plain, half pepperoni. The pepperoni was oozing orange grease and it had a slight kick of heat to it. That's a good thing in my book. The crust was sheet thin and crispy and the right balance of cheese and sauce made for a very satisfying tasting. I'm a New Yorker who's had DiFara Pizza and Louie & Ernie's, and I'm not saying Spiritus is up to that level, but I am saying it's good.

P.S. Be aware, you're paying Cape Cod prices and Spiritus accepts cash only. The service here is non-existent. You pick up your pie at the counter when they call your name.
