Sylvia's Pizza - Fresh Basil Mozzarella Pizza - Raleigh, North Carolina

When I'm really hungry, I can't get a slice of Sylvia's Pizza fast enough and nothing else will do. Fresh, sliced mozzarella is a completely different cheese than the kind that comes shredded in a bag. It has a stronger flavor and it's chewier. Fresh, whole-leaf basil is incredible. The smell alone is intoxicating. And fresh roma tomatoes put the tasteless beefsteak variety to shame. Absolute shame. These three simple ingredients would be good on their own, but at Sylvia's they become something more. The secret ingredient isn't the delicious yeasty crusty, but the dribble of olive oil on top. A better slice isn't to be found. It's more than worth it to sit in the fastfood-type dining room with soccer games blaring on the tv.
