Just the slightest change can make a world of difference in a restaurant's food. Whether it's an omission, addition, or simple switch to a better quality ingredient, small changes can make enormous differences in a restaurant's cuisine.
While almost as simple as food can get, pizza is definitely no exception to this previous sentiment. You always hear about people from New York claiming how their pizza is the best in the world, and, if you've been, it's hard to argue, but why is it exactly?
It's the water, which binds the pizza dough's few ingredients. Nearly every chemical reaction that creates flavor in the dough-making process occurs in - you guessed it - water.
New York City's comes from the Catskills mountain and touts an incomparable purity and a superior taste to others throughout the country, which is why Eddie & Sams Pizza, the famed Downtown Tampa pizza joint imports theirs from New York every day.
The difference is subtle, but immediately noticeable if you're as pizza-crazy as us. The crust touts and outer crunch with an inner-sponginess marked by just a hint of sweetness that's pretty irresistible.
All the rest of the pie, though, is nothing to write home about. Not that the cheese, crust, or toppings like sausage or pepperoni are unbearable, but pretty unspectacular in comparison to their imported super-crust.
Even still, Eddie & Sam's crust is enough to make this tiny pizza joint a shining star in comparison to the rest here in Tampa. Give 'em a try and let us know what you think with your own rating and review on the Eddie & Sam's pizza 813area business listing.
