Isabella's is just another example of a sure thing being screwed up by the L.E.S. Syndrome of schlocky people coming to what they perceive as a schlocky neighborhood, thinking they can get away with things that would never be tolerated in any other Manhattan neighborhood. That's why the turn over is so great down here.. The whole "Luigi is in Italy scouting Pizza recipes" schtik is hysterical. Isabella's started out great but deteriorated due to cluelss, inept and poor management. They should be selling slices instead of turkey and cheese sandwiches $ 3.50 lunch specials[ with a free can of Coke!]. They won't last the winter.

they claim luigi will be back the end of june

Looks disgusting.
But then again no more disgusting than that faux pizza from chicago.

Point in fact, John's pizza (on Bleeker) makes their pizza crust/cheese sauce.
their reasoning being that the cheese sort of attaches itself to the crust as it bakes so you don't get the cheese sliding off of the slice with the first bite.
also, the sauce makes its way down through the cheese as the cheese melts, and most of it ends up under the cheese anyway.
grimaldi's does the same thing.

ew.

@Charlie: You're correct. It was too thick to be considered a "grandma" slice.

Liza, where do you go for traditionally made Detroit pizza?
