One Bite Pizza Reviews' Pizzeria Baci review

2026-10-06 · One's score: 8.1 out of 10

Dave heads to Montrose, New York, for Pizzeria Baci, a one-man show where the owner opens at 4 and just lets the phone ring when he's slammed. The backstory is wild: stage three cancer, food stamps, and an illegal pizza room built in a bar's backyard with a trap door to hide it from the health department. He's been making pizza 35 years, learned from a 94-year-old, survived three heart attacks and a wrecked knee, and a town GoFundMe raised $25,000 to keep him open. Dave calls the pie totally unique, an ultra crispy sourdough crust with buffalo mozzarella and basil that he can't slot into any style. He lands on an 8.1 and says the guy is worth the story. Now I'm hungry!

• 8.1 from Dave, who calls it totally unique and can't put it in a style box
• Crust is ultra crispy, built on a sourdough starter with no fresh yeast
• Buffalo mozzarella gives it a different taste, with basil on top
• Owner has been doing pizza 35 years and runs the whole place solo, opening at 4
• A town GoFundMe raised $25,000 after his knee injury nearly closed him down
