Mulberry Street Pizza
With a powerful craving for a proper Hawaiian pizza, we decided to make the trip to Manchester to Mulberry Street Pizza. After last week’s disappointment that was Screamer’s Pizzeria, we needed a good pizza. It had been so long since we had a delicious Hawaiian that we were questioning if our tastes were too particular and incompatible with the pizza available in the real world. Thankfully, our faith in the supreme deliciousness that is Hawaiian pizza was reaffirmed. We were drawn into visiting Mulberry street pizza as they had roasted red peppers on their pizza which certainly stands out with the competition. It was the sauce, however, that initially stood out to us when tasting the pizza. It was excellent and there was lots of it to go around. This likely resulted in the very loose toppings on the pizza as they consistently slipped around, however the taste more than made up for it. It was super fresh and the big tomato flavor gave us the we deserved after the sweet mess that we had at screamer’s pizzeria. What stood out next was the generous distribution of roasted red peppers. They too were very fresh and complimented the sauce very well. Unlike most deviations from the traditional Hawaiian recipe, the peppers didn’t distract or take away from the flavor as a whole. It added another layer of depth and it really took it to the next level. All this was a top a fresh tasting mozzarella cheese and a crispy New York style crust. The ham was a little less salty than your average ham, and tasted pretty good. What mulberry street pizza got right was the amount of ham on the pizza. It wasn’t overwhelming because they opted for full slices, something prevents** ham overload or ham stackage. The pineapple was the only real weakness here as it was canned rather than fresh. Nonetheless, there was enough of it and it served its purpose. Topping it all off was a dusting of romano cheese which added an aromatic, mature flavor to the pizza. **montreal
