02/15/2015 2:28 pmI was very excited to finally come to Ciro's. I'd heard about it over the years as being one of the best of Staten Island, but that it didn't get as much recognition as other pizzerias did (cough Denino's) because of its location. After trying it, I'm inclined to agree that it is noteworthy, but it also isn't a "best of city" kind of place. First off, I did not realize that Ciro's did the signature thin, cracker crust, Staten Island-style pizza. Its sometimes called "old fashioned" pizza, which is curious as it is nothing like the more famous, early 1900's NY-Naples hybrid that has been the dominant influence in pizza. This would be an interesting history to research, but I digress. I thought this place was just a slice joint. That's not a bad thing, it just wasn't what I was expecting. Anyway, they have a nice porch to eat out on, which is good because it was a very nice day. The slice's thinnest is comparable to other pizzerias of this type, but I thought the crust could have had a bit more flavor. Like the other Staten Island-style pizzerias, the tomato sauce is bright and flavorful. The cheese was run of the mill, but it balanced the sauce well. Ultimately my main issue is that the crust could've been better (the flavor has to be there with this style because there is no rise in the dough), but it was still a solid slice. I'd recommend this for the area for sure, but I wouldn't necessarily come all the way down here for it either, as there are others who execute this style better. |
