A food journalist has sampled the New York pizza slice that Kim Kardashian famously devoured after the 2022 Met Gala, but found it lacking in one key area. The writer, who built a map of 34 restaurants for a four-day trip to the city, visited Joe's Pizza on Fulton Street after hearing rave reviews from friends and family.
Joe's Pizza is a favourite of many celebrities, including Kim Kardashian, who bought 10 boxes from the chain after the 2022 Met Gala. She wore Marilyn Monroe's iconic Jean Louis gown, which required a gruelling three-week carb-free and sugar-free diet. The pizza marked the end of her dietary restrictions.
The journalist ordered a plain slice for $4.50, noting that it was larger than their head. The staff reheated the slice in the oven, ensuring it was piping hot. The pizza was not greasy, with a crispy base and a generous layer of cheese. The sauce-to-cheese ratio was perfect, and the dough tasted fresh.
However, the writer's one complaint was the lack of seasoning beyond the tomato base. They suggested that a dash of herbs could have elevated the slice. Despite this, they gave Joe's Pizza a solid 7 out of 10, praising it as a warming and filling meal on a freezing day with wind chill temperatures of -21°C.
