Hey, here’s a question for you: Who loves pizza? The first and most correct answer is “everybody!!!” (exclamation points are important). The second and equally plausible answer is “me!!!” (exclamation points are here added to drive my point home).
I freakin’ love pizza. I have to limit myself to eating it only once a week. It’s one of those incredibly simple foods whose quality varies greatly depending on the preparer (a concept that will be continually celebrated on this site). That’s why I decided to begin the “Pizza Profile” series. It’s intended to be a guide (of sorts) for navigating Phoenixville’s many pizza producers.
It’s with a heavy heart that I begin this series on a sad note: Liberty Square Pizza just isn’t very good. It’s a shame because the staff is tremendously friendly and the owner seems like “good people”. I had never really given Liberty Square a fair shake before. I tried their pizza only once several years ago and was unimpressed. But everyone deserves a second chance… Or do they?
Perhaps a red flag should have been raised when I called to order. Maybe they were thrown off by my questioning about the availability of deep dish pizza. The guy said that they specialized in New England style pizza. Having never heard of such a thing, I was confused and intrigued at the same time. I ordered.
I knew something was wrong as soon as I got my pie. It was pretty small for a large. I asked what size it was and thus annoyed them. I quickly paid and left after answering a series of questions (“Where are you from?” etc).
My main problem with this pizza is the crust. It’s flaky and very very “airy”… Not quite “crusty” enough for my liking. It’s even too weak to hold the ingredients that it’s supposed to carry to ya mouth. The opposite of robust, baby.
The other ingredients were of an acceptable quality, but nothing exciting. The whole thing didn’t come together very well. It lacked pizza-zz. (Ugh, sorry…)
In any case, I’m giving it 3 slices out of 8. Not recommended. I don’t feel so good after consuming the “manimum”.
