#1 The Gypsy Poet

My journey started off with a cheese pizza – it was cheesier than the siren song of a pirate! Every bite was smothered in gooey, melty goodness that made my taste buds do the happy dance.

The next time I visited, I tried their pepperoni and sausage pizza which didn’t disappoint either. The flavors were totally on point – the salty bites of pepperoni brought against the bold flavor of the Italian sausage were truly spectacular.

Their crust is among the best I’ve ever had. It’s just thick enough to hold all that deliciousness without being too bready, but still light and crispy in just the right places. And they definitely know how to cook their pizzas; there wasn’t a single slice that wasn’t evenly baked and full of flavor.

Overall, The Gypsy Poet has some of the best pizza in The Heights! Whether you’re looking for classic cheese, zesty pepperoni, or something more adventurous like their veggie pizza – you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended for serious pizza connoisseurs!

#2 The Gypsy Poet

The quality of their pies is unparalleled. The sauce is ever-so-bold, the cheese is gooey and flavorful, and the crust is crispy and light. I’m a fan of their classic Margherita Pizza the most – it’s simple yet expertly crafted with just enough oregano to make your mouth water.

But what really sets The Gypsy Poet apart from all the other pizza restaurants in town isn’t just the quality of their pizza – it’s also the atmosphere. It’s run by an ex-poet who loves to spin yarns about her travels around the world, so you get some great stories while you wait for your food. Plus, they have live music on Tuesdays and Wednesday nights, making it one of my favorite places in town to grab a slice.

If you’re looking for some of the best pizza The Heights has to offer (and perhaps a good story or two) then The Gypsy Poet should be your next stop!

#3 The Purple Flour (Food Truck)

The food truck itself is eye-catching, which adds to the experience. The purple flour of the name refers to their specialty – a deep purple crust made from a mix of specialty flours. It’s crunchy, flavorful and really stands out when compared to other pizzas I’ve had around the world.

I tried their popular “Grandma style” pizza with olives, tomatoes and mushrooms sprinkled atop a generous layer of cheese. The cheese was nice and melty while the vegetables were fresh and flavorful. I don’t usually like olives on my pizza but The Purple Flour managed to make them taste great!

The staff was friendly and helpful as well, making sure I got exactly what I wanted for my meal. The atmosphere is relaxed yet fun and full of customers in need of some amazing pizza. And I promise, you won’t find better quality pizza in the area.
