REVIEW:
A quick pre-train bite. The recently completed Penn Station renovation is majestic. Everything is new and, dare I say, clean. There is even an upscale food court called the Moynihan Food Hall with a large dining area and a vast array of culinary options. Thanks to Sauce Pizzeria, one of them has pizza - a somewhat affordable option by midtown New York standards. Unlike the original East Village location, this Sauce Pizzeria outpost has had to make some adjustments to cater to the demand of one of the most highly trafficked transportation centers in the United States. For instance, they have eliminated the complimentary container of "grandma's gravy" (marinara sauce) provided for crust dipping. While this is a signature of Sauce Pizzeria, it is not as necessary because they have also eliminated the thicker crust options at this location. Instead, expect an ultra thin-yet-sturdy underside that is evenly baked in one of several electric ovens. Fortunately, the Sauce Pizzerias recipes and the high quality ingredients are the same in all of their locations resulting in a solid New York slice every time.
