Some friends who were originally from Albany area recommended a place in Kingsport that purportedly made a great pizza, just like they were used to buying in Albany.
We decided to go there for supper last night. We drove the 20 miles, drooling all the way in anticipation of a pizza comparable to what we were used to buying back in Utica. Disappointment ensued. Their large cheese pizza was $16 and $2.50 for each additional topping. We ordered Italian sausage, mushrooms, and peppers. I think they put the sauce on with a paint brush, there was very little cheese, the peppers were raw, and the mushrooms were sparsely distributed with each slice only having a couple of slices of mushroom. The only redeeming feature was the Italian sausage. They make their own. It was spicy, delicious, was sliced thick and was generously abundant on the pizza. NOTE to self: Never order pizza in the Albany area if that is what Albany natives find "great."
They do however make a great antipasto salad so the trip was not a complete bust.
