The Pizza Quest Continues: La Margherita, Medford, NY

Since deciding that Pizzeria Bianco was a disappointment, I have been on the hunt for a winning pie. La Margherita in Medford claims that they were the first to offer pizza from a wood burning oven on Long Island. So I figured it was worth a shot.

Tucked between industrial parks and strip malls, this stand alone pizzeria/ Italian restaurant combo smells like a fireplace from the outside. They are not kidding about that wood burning oven. It's hot. Really hot. 

There is no atmosphere in the pizzeria, unless you count the great Long Island people watching and there is plenty of that. 

The pizza? Eh. This pizza quest is not as easy as I thought it would be. It was good with the requisite crispness but the mozzarella could have been fresher and it needed salt. Actually, more spices and herbs were needed overall, the basil helping was pretty meager. 

Not to say we didn't finish it. 
The before: 
And the after:

JB also had a plain slice for, um, research purposes. It was standard, nothing special. 

And the quest continues. 

Until our next Burger, 
KLB
