Review of Pyro Pizza
1

I have a prologue to make...

I am Italian, more precisely from Naples, therefore pizza is shit almost everywhere in the world for me...and when you pay 2 times what I would pay for the best pizza in my hometown...well!

Anyway, I had been there before with friends and (how surprising!!!) I wasn't impressed. I reckon is a great place for foreign students who want to get drunk fast and eat what it might be a ''tasty'' pizza for someone who have never tried the real thing.

Today I was coming back from work and, for some masochistic urge, I decide to go and buy a pizza to bring home.
Go there and ask if I can take away and they say no problem; so I choose a margherita XL (for me and my flatmate-113RMB) and the fuwuyuan tells me that 'because the pizza is big they need to put into 2 boxes and i have to pay 20 kuai more!!!

I ask her again in chinese, same story....I write it down just to be totally sure and she says yes.
Now...if I order the pizza from home they charge maybe 7 or 8 kuai total but since I am there and I obviously look stupid she decides I have to pay 20 kuai (the price of a meal right around the corner) FOR 2 BLOODY CARDBOARD BOXES...

End of stories I just said no thanks and walked away while she was saying I was crazy to her friend

Summarizing:
Pizza...0 star
place...2 star ( when is not crowded)
price...0 star (there is a place in Sanlitun run by Italians that charge less and is MUCH MUCH better)
IQ......no comment

I will never go back again. shit food, poor attitude, Uber-overpriced

Wow thats pretty bad, sounds like they were trying to scam you.

That said:

It's fucking Pizza.
Pizza is not some sort of insanely complicated chemical compound.

"Mama mia, pizza issa shitta everywhere in the mondo!!"

Stop pretending that it's impossible to make good pizza outside of Italy.
Give this shit a rest, or stop ordering pizza.
New Yorkers are also guilty of this.

It's pizza, you throw a bunch of shit on some flour and you're done.

If you want to be indignant about something, pick something thats actually better in Italy, such as art, singing O Sole Mio and the ability to complain about Pizzas.

I don't like "real" Italian pizza.

It's boring.

I like AMERICAN style pizza. Chicago deep-dish.

Irish coffee, and Irish car bomb

Well...It's not my fault there are not the right ingredients for it and usually you have totally useless people to cook it.
Italian cuisine is our tradition and is just normal that WE know how it tastes.

Having said that:
Less smartass (you make a very poor imitation of Italian even when you type anyway) and better reading, especially since you probably like to refer yourself as a 'native speaker'
{quote}"pizza is sh*t almost everywhere in the world for me"{end quote}

You know where I had some good pizza?
in Japan and in NYC.
Why?
Both chefs had been to Italy to learn it.

Many others just put ITALY on a restaurant because so they can make money, and honestly this piss me off, among the rest, also because then you have people that think they have tasted 'Italian cuisine' when, in reality, they have tried crap.

How would you feel if someone come and tell you 'I know how to bomb innocent people'
Of course you will feel offended because that's your tradition and you don't want anyone to be better than you...or elsewhere you will go to his country (if is not too powerful) and 'terminate' everything and everyone.

For the other guy who likes 'Chicago style' (really an appropriate name!!) well, de gustibus non disputando est
(Taste is not something you can dispute)

That's my 2 cents.
Good luck with the 'RRREAL AMERICAN STUFF, YIPPIYAYEEE' (while I am shooting in the air with my machoman guns)

"Is this gonna get ugly, now? Huh? I hope not. Because I thought what we were here, racial differences notwithstanding, was just a couple of old friends. You know, just both of us Californians."

lol :O
Oh wow... feel the butthurt.
Overreact much?

Hah if we're playing the "killing innocent people" card I'll see your car-bombings and raise you a Mafia.
And if we want to play the history card I'll see your IRA and raise you a Mussolini.

=P~

Also, the fact that you know I'm Irish means you've either been searching through my posts or you're a long-time poser with a new username.

So you can add "creepy" to the list of things needed to make a great Italian pizza.

Enjoy that sweet butthurt.

I just re-read that.

You probably assumed I'm American.
You've revealed yourself as an idiot, not creepy though...I guess that's something.

What a schmuck.

Ridicolous. Rearry ridicolous.

"I'm from Naples, meeahh meaahh meeahhh."

Hit the pavement, Tony. We're not impressed.

I've been to Pyro many times, it's a good spot. Full of college kids, yeah, noisy, but so what? It's not claiming to be authentic italian pizza. It's cheap pizza and beer.

THIS IS CHINAAAARRR!!!

GTFO

Profit.

I don't really care about where 'pizza was invented so must be best there' concept. Many places invented pizza type food long before Italians or Americans...such as Greece or Persia...

However I will agree that Pyros is all about cheating the customer. No one there speaks English or claims to not understand.

Is the Manager here?
Shenme?
The boss???
Ting bu dong!
Laoban?
Sorry me know understand.

I haven't seen a real manager there for years. However I'm sure he stops by to collect the extra money for sauce or boxes haha.
