I\u2019ve never been super into Roman-style pizza al taglio. I don\u2019t know why. Well, mostly it\u2019s that it always seems so pricey with respect to what you get. As a pizza lover and friend of many a pizzeria operator, I realize that\u2019s a lousy attitude to have. I know what good-quality ingredients cost and the labor and time that go into it. So, maybe from here on out, a little more appreciation is due.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PQR’s white mushroom slice, $6.50.

With a place like PQR, appreciation is easy. The last time I was in there, toward the end of 2018, I was impressed. So much so that I\u2019m sorry we didn\u2019t include it on the Serious Eats \u201cState of the Slice 2018\u201d article<\/a> I worked on with Ed Levine (SE founder) and NYC pizza tour guide and slice scholar Scott Wiener<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crumb shot. Open, airy, springy, and light.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The crust here is fantastic. Crisp, tender, springy. I love the well-done, browned cheese on this mushroom slice ($6.50).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By all rights I also should have included this in my\u00a0#8PizzasThatHauntMyDreams<\/a>\u00a0list for 2018, but I base that largely on going through old IG posts as a memory aid\/trigger, and this is the first appearance PQR is making in my feed. Sorry!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking forward to more PQR in 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
