C J's Pizza

The pizza.  An item where variations in style are many.  To me, the pizza is made of three main essential components, each weighted equally. If one isn't done right, the pizza isn't done right.  

Crust:  The crust is done pretty well at CJ's pizza.  It's a thinner crust pizza, although it's not a thin crust pizza.  It's sort of like a NY style pizza, but thinner and crispier.  The flavor is right, along with chewiness of the crust; the taste of the crust is slightly sweet as well.

Cheese:  Ahh, the first chink in the armor Ted.  The cheese is really bad here.  Not as in rotten, but it's as bad as cheese on the pizza of lunch room pizza in an elementary school.  The look of the cheese is shiny like it's plastic (I'm sure someone knows the plastic cheese look), and the taste of it is just as bad.  Not good flavor, not good texture, it's just bad.

Sauce:  The sauce is a sweet and tangy sauce, exactly how I like it on a pizza.  In fact, the sauce is the best part of this pizza.  Done just right!  

Although the cheese was terrible on the pizza, the rest of the components saved the pizza, which is okay by me.  If they changed the cheese at CJ's.....aw man, I'd eat pizza every other day here.  

The owner was really nice to me, and we struck up a conversation talking about life experiences in different cities.  He says his pizza isn't really New York style pizza, but rather New Jersey pizza, something that made me chuckle.  The service here is fast and friendly, but that really shouldn't be a focal point as I'm sure most of the sales are takeout.  

All in all, CJ's pizza is a place worth checking out if you're craving New York style pizza but have no problems with an okay substitute.
