Due to my excellent culinary palate (lol), I was invited to a tasting of the new 3DZ Pizza in Wilton Manors. This was a private event, so I got to sample a large portion of the menu. 3DZ is where Island City Pizza was-next door to the “Corner Pub’. 1913 N. Andrews, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33311.
The actual opening date is scheduled for December 9, 2013. But while we were there, several potential customers arrived, wanted pizza, so they may want to go ahead and start serving!
Let me just start by saying that the owner, David, was an excellent host, seemed like a really nice guy and was able to juggle several courses like a pro! Welcome to the neighborhood!
He started us off with garlic knots with dough that was melt-in-your-mouth. The pizza was LOADED with pepperoni and cheese. He did not skimp at all. I asked him if that was going to be the quantity of pepperoni and cheese on his final product or if this was just for the tasting and he said, “I believe that the toppings should be to the edge”. It was decadence at $16 for a large (price may change but it would have been great at $20).
The sauce is a little on the sweet side. The cheese was so good that when you lifted a slice out, it produced continuous strings… fun!
The meat lasagne was good. I liked this because the pasta was cooked like I like it-floppy!
Then we got to my favorite dish and what I will probably go to this place for more than anything else-the apple dessert pizza. Omg! Extreme decadence! Edge-to-edge apple, cinnamon and sugar!!! This was the bomb! I usually don’t like “pizzert”, but this changed that.
David mentioned some type of breakfast pizza he is planning… hope it’s not a secret!
All in all, this was a great experience. Warm atmosphere. Friendly staff. I look forward to the opening!
