Sauce of contention: How's the pizza?

If there's one thing we know at the Daily News, it's pizza. Specifically, free pizza. So we tossed a couple pies on the ol' expense account to see what Joe Stanfa is serving up at his new - and rather affordable - restaurant in Grays Ferry. Our critics, who were guaranteed anonymity, gave the pizza mixed reviews. But that doesn't mean we won't return to try the chicken cutlet with roasted peppers, broccoli rabe and sharp provolone.

Reporter #1: "This pizza is like the button men of old, before wiseguys tried to become celebrities - solid but not flashy."

Editor #1: "Like the New York-style thin crust and cheese/sauce ratio, but overall, it's kinda bland. That said, I'm having a second slice."

Columnist #1: "If you were really hungry or drunk, I'm sure it would be better."

Photographer: "The crust was a little harder than I like. I'd eat another piece, though. I give it a B-minus."

Editor #2: "Incredibly average."

Graphic designer: "Sort of an odd flavor."
