Pizza type: New York style Pizza
Pizza ordered: 1/2 peperoni and cheese and 1/2 Italian sausage, mushroom, green pepper and cheese
Crust: The standout of the Sky's pizza, the crust is simply excellent. This small pizzeria produces a New York style crust as good as any around. It displays all the key New York characteristics, a thin crust, lightly charred on the bottom and edges, slightly blistered on top with a hint of crispiness combined with just the right amount of toughness and chewiness. They have the simple, yet quirky, New York style crust down!
Sauce: Sky's sauce displays a fresh tomato flavor with enough traditional spice to make it interesting but not too salty or sweet. The sauce is overall very good and is applied moderately, not overly present on the pie.
Cheese: The cheese on the Sky's pie is a good quality mozzarella, very typical of what you would want on a New York style pie. Although not a premium, natural mozzarella, it has a nice subtle flavor, not sour, salty or clotted. It has a nice stretchy texture and just enough greasiness to remind you you're enjoying a NY style pizza!
Other Topping(s): The peperoni is nicely spiced without any residual fatty flavor. The sausage is thinly sliced, evenly spiced with no distinct fatty flavor; however, it is a bit bland.
The vegetable toppings, the mushrooms and green peppers are flavorful, but not overly present and also not overcooked but tender, adding a good vegetable flavor balance to the pie.
Atmosphere: Sky's has brought the authentic New York pizza counter feel to our area. The space is simple and open. You really feel like you are walking into a typical neighborhood pizza storefront. A very similar space, and pie, would be New York Pizza on Magazine Street in New Orleans. Sky's does, according to their web site, have some outdoor seating, but I didn't see it.

Service: You order at the counter and service is efficient and straight-forward. It was not crowded the afternoon we were there, and the manager on duty was very attentive.
Utensils: The plates flimsy and the napkins are cheap; plastic utensils.
Overall: I classify Sky's Pizza Pie as a classic, neighborhood, New York style pizza counter, simple and concentrating on the pizza not appearance or novelty. If you are a pizza lover, and if you appreciate the New York tradition, you must visit Sky's!
