It's a beautiful sunny Saturday. My husband is doing volunteer work with Friends of the VPL at 1:00 p.m.
I woke up late, moved slowly, and forgot my Compass card for transit at home. We needed to find a place around the Vancouver Public Library for a quick first meal of the day and found Straight Brooklyn Pizza.
I am no pizza expert, but their pizza feels like a hybrid between New York-style and Naples-style. It's huge and foldable like the NY-style, but there's the nice char and thinnest expected of Neopolitan.
The Original slice is a Margherita pizza, which is recommended for Italian-style pizza. It's delicious with tarty tomato, melted mozzarella, and a pop of basil. I love it.

However, it's hard to beat the Classic slice with pepperoni, a New York staple. The sliced circular meat provides savoury flavour and additional depth of flavour to the 15" slice of pizza.

The best NY-style pizza I've had in Vancouver is from AJ's Brooklyn Pizza Joint.
