Gio's Artisan Pizza - Rockaway Mall in Rockaway, NJ
I've been wanting to try Gio's for years now, but their early closing time (usually 7pm) has prevented this from happening...until now. At long last, I had my chance when I got out of work early. Unfortunately, it was still pretty close to closing so the selection was limited to a handful of slices, but there was still a chicken bacon ranch left so I jumped on it. Unfortunately, I was pretty underwhelmed. The ranch in particular brought it down. It was super heavy and creamy and the flavor just overpowered everything, especially with how much they dumped on. Honestly I couldn't even really tell you how the rest of the slice was because I couldn't taste much through the ranch besides the overly tough crust. For $4.50 this is an easy pass for me. Good mall pizza seemed too good to be true, and I guess it was. I still had plenty of time to hit Crumbl after for a chocolate chip cookie and let me tell you...THAT is a 6/6 cookie.
Today’s newsletter is my first one from Rockaway where I have been photographing for nearly 20 years. These pictures from what I now know is called Edgmere, document the land that New York Mag called “a testing ground for urban entropy”
Visit Hog Island with Dr. Doom , meet a hermit who inadvertently paid for his girlfriend’s wedding - to his own brother and more!!
Also wanted to just highlight these massive shelf clouds from the severe storms that rolled in towards the Rockaways in Queens as my friend and I left Jacob Riis Beach--dont get to see how huge they can be all that often in NYC lol
