We had previously dismissed this pizza even though it is directly next door to our favorite grocer and we are in close proximity to it quite often.
The slices are quite large which seemed gimmicky to us. It's close to Columbia University and looked like a cheap, college kid grab-and-go.We were wrong.
We decided to split a slice one day recently and it kind of blew our minds! It passed the test for crispiness (held up with one hand with no sagging) even though we did not have to request extra crisping. What really made it was the sauce. It was a perfect red sauce - tangy and perfectly seasoned with a bit of salt and a light onion flavor.
Too many pizzerias go sweet to meet the saltiness of cheese and toppings and most of them go overboard into sugariness. Koronet's sauce was perfect! As usual, we went with a cheese slice. The cheese was gooey, stringy and deftly applied - an ideal amount for the slice. Will definitely go back to try their sausage slice which looked very good.During Covid, there are 10-12 tables nicely spaced out across the sidewalk and the parklet dining spot in the street.
Will return soon. I'd give this place an 8.5/10
