Sixth months after trying WE, THE PIZZA, it’s time for a check up. The restaurant opened after several delays to mixed reviews, horror stories of bad staff, and long lines, The beginning was rocky, but the concept—great pizza from the chef that brought us Good Stuff Eatery–was promising enough for a second go. Have Spike Mendelsohn and Mike Colletti worked out all the kinks? If you watched Spike on Good Morning America today, you might think so.
I’ve visited the place on a Wednesday morning and been the first person in the door, on a Saturday afternoon astounded at how empty the place was (especially for a Celebrity Chef Food Conference weekend), stood in lines during the opening week and taken a few NYC foodies for their opinions on this imitation of their staple food. The only thing I can guarantee is that every time I get average pizza and horrible service.
