Not much interesting has been happening lately, so let me share my thoughts on Pizza My Heart, a small chain pizza restauarant that's recently opened up in San Mateo, on 4th Ave. Reviewing a pizza place is pretty easy. You don't have to eat a variety of dishes, all you have to do is eat a pizza, or even a small part of a pizza, and you have all you need right there. So let me cut to the chase. The pizza is pretty good, if you like a nice thin crust.
Pizza is essentially about the crust, it basically just is a form of flatbread with some stuff sprinkled on top. So it should taste like flatbread: dense, chewy, and a bit dark. Places like North Beach Pizza don't get this, their crust is thick and actually tastes like bread, which strikes me as totally wrong. In San Mateo, I think Amici's gets it right. However, the problem with Amici's is that they don't offer slices. Pizza My Heart is not as good as Amici's, but it does offer slices, so for a quick lunch, I would recommend it without hesitation.
