Stuart Canning Review of Paulie's

This is lone star pasta (literally) at its worst. Very disappointing. Wet pasta, no sign of al-dente anywhere. The signature spicy Amatriciana tastes like sriracha, chili oil and chili flakes. Keep that sauce a secret PLEASE! Overkill, over-cooked, underwhelming. Meatballs might be dog food - was it puppy chow or just puppy? And then there is the pizza . The Alissa or Elissa whoever s gf the chef named it after, clearly broke some hearts. I ve had better tasting Ping pong balls... Raw, thick tomato on top of rancid pesto and frozen supermarket dough. Someone should mention to this bitter, angry chef that tomato s cut that thick, turn to mush and release a ton of water when cooked (kinda like a sore) which doesn t exactly improve frozen dough. Wet pasta followed by soggy seconds pizza mush. How bizarre that the pizza is almost as equally undercooked and slimy as the pasta is over... and then there was the raw veal chop - MOOOO - it s alive! The cucumber water was, by contrast, a welcome relief. Paulie makes me crave Di Giorno or hospital food. Mama Mia don t make me go again!
