d’Bronx

Upon walking into d’Bronx, one immediately notices the signatures all over the walls and booths. This makes sense, given the restaurant’s status as a local favorite for New York-style pizza. Although its pizza is ultimately good, d’Bronx doesn’t quite compare to other, less popular local pizzerias.

While both the toppings and the crust of the pizza were delicious separately, the combination of the two was less than satisfactory. The cheese and sauce complemented each other well. The crunchy, brick oven crust didn’t quite fuse with the toppings, though, leaving the pizza with conflicting tastes.

The previously mentioned wall signatures do add a nice touch. While the vibe of the restaurant and the pop music coming through the speakers don’t entirely match, that has debatable significance in terms of the atmosphere. The restaurant’s elongated layout isn’t the best, but it works. Nothing about the service lacked, as the slices came out within a reasonable time, except it was slightly impersonal.

If you’re looking for a tried and tested local slice of pizza, then go to d’Bronx. Taking an extra step to seek out a lesser-known pizzeria — like Joe’s Pizza Buy the Slice, suggested by d’Bronx employees — will likely lead to finding a more flavorful and cohesive slice.
