Pizza Iconic (CLOSED)

Who needs fancy toppings when the original tastes this good? Pizza Iconic’s concept is simple. They make New York style pizzas and perfect them. Selling four different pie combos of cheese, pepperoni, meat lover’s and cheese lover’s—a pizza novice might think there’s nothing special about them. Owner Kim Yun-hyeon’s mission (dating back to his passion for pizza that started in middle school) is almost like an art form—“Which combination of dough, sauce and pizza will be exactly the right one?” Bite into Pizza Iconic’s pepperoni slice and you’ll find yourself a little closer to answering that all-important question. Generous with the pepperoni, their tomato sauce maintains its freshness while the mozzarella cheese is melted to perfection over the thin, sourdough crust. Using ingredients imported from Italy, San Francisco and New York, there is something addictive about his slices even without the lack of fancy toppings. They don’t use any corn syrup or MSG, which will be apparent to any pizza-lover. Since their pizzas are only available as entire pies, they’re straight out of the oven and large enough for some take-home leftovers. (And c’mon, who doesn’t love leftover pizza?)
