“The pizzas are not greasy, seem healthy, etc.
I had no idea they existed though, even though I live in the Financial District.”
“4 starts is just because the place is kind of fastfood (no tables) and the interior doesn't look cosy and welcoming.”
“And there are vegan options too.”

No, I do not like my pizza burnt. I came here with such high expectations, I ordered the buffalo mozzy with basil and sauce. And my entire pie was basically burnt and so the burnt taste overpowered what was supposed to be a pizza. Let alone, it's salty and the dough was not chewy or anything like a Neapolitan pizza is supposed to be. The only thing that was good was the service and speed of how quickly I got my "pizza"
This pizza is amazing. The only reason it is 4 stars is because it's quite pricey compared to other NY pizza. But we ordered one with arugula, prosciutto, and parm. It was delicious! It's a small individual size for about $15. But really good quality! Good for pizza on the go. We walked down and ate it on the water looking at Brooklyn.
Excellent, simple pizza. The sausage and pepperoni and prosciutto are great and generous, but for some reason, the vegetable-only options aren't as abundant. Give me more veggies, please, because they go better with the simple crust and simple sauce and the simple cheese than the meats do, in my opinion. But maybe that's just me.
I truly didn't think that honest-to-God Neapolitan pizza could be made this well on a truck. I'm always impressed when any food truck impresario pulls off delicious to-order food in such a tight space, but just the concept of packing the oven required to put out pizzas in volume within close proximity to a huge tank of diesel fuel seemed insurmountable.
As usual, I'm wrong. I gave Neapolitan Express a try when it was at the Dumbo food truck lot the other day–my A Diavolo was excellent, even after carrying it 15 minutes before eating. Unlike a lot of the spicy-type pizzas you see on menus, this was really well-balanced between the jalapenos, soppressata, and Mike's hot honey on one side, and the cheese and medium-sweet tomato sauce on the other.
My minor gripes would be that the crust–itself delicious, by the way–was a bit too soft in the center for my taste. (The charred outside ring was fantastic, however.) Second, the cheese was sliced a bit too thick, so it was a bit chewy in some places. Overall, though, it was really, really tasty, pretty quick (probably an 8 minute wait), and a decent price for a personal pizza–I'd gladly stand in line for it again.
I ordered the mushroom/truffle pizza. Delivery took a while…. By the time the pizza arrived, it wasn't hot anymore. What was strange to me was how thick the crust is and how how thin the rest of the dough is. The topping and cheese were REALLY good and flavorful. But since the pizza was most extremely thin, the cheese and toppings made the dough soggy except for the crust.
It was a small pizza and a great size for one person for dinner. It's around the size of three big regular slices. But it wasn't extremely filling since (again), the dough was extremely thin. The crust was nice and fluffy and thick. I don't think I'll order from here again, but I might try it in the restaurant instead. This is just based on a one time experience and it was delivered. Still… I don't think the whole pizza would've been thicker, I think that's just their style. It really deserves a 3.5 just because it did taste good even though it was pretty soggy. But it doesn't deserve 4 stars in my opinion.
In this city, pizza is so controversial. But the beauty of pizza is that there are so many styles and opinions. So I'll just say this: if you love a good Neapolitan style pizza, are looking for something more substantial than your everyday slice but not an enormous pie, this is your place. It is absolutely perfect for that weeknight pizza for one, or if you cannot agree with others on toppings and just want to get what YOU want.
Simple, fresh, quality ingredients are what make this place stand out. I tried the Parma – the prosciutto is a generous amount and very flavorful. You can walk in and order from a friendly person and you'll have your pizza faster than you'd expect in an eco-friendly box.
