Daena and I finally made it to the West side to try some pie. Dean's is a new pizzeria owned by the Angelis family who also own Patsy's and Nick's. The place is really nice. It doesn't feel like a pizzeria due to the high ceilings, large space, and decor. But it certainly smells like one. They run a large gas fired oven and they offer both traditional rounds with fresh mozzarella and traditional square Grandma pies with a combination of Mozzarellas and Parmesan cheeses. Daena gave into my wishes and we ordered the Grandma pie. It got a mixed review. Daena didn't like it and said the sauce was Oregano heavy. I loved it for that same reason. The crust was really good. Crispy on the outside with a nice chew. Also, I'm not sure what they put on the edges of the pie but it added crispness and awesome flavor. I'm sure I'll be back to this place to try a regular pie but I'm guessing it will be without my better half!
