Good Food , but they Don't wear Plastic Gloves like subway or other Big Chains The Manager says it because it goes in the Oven is why they don't need them���� So why did I go in today and they are fixing a Salad the same way !! People feel better about eating at this place knowing there clean .... IJS Lost my business and word of mouth travels ....

1st, I must say that my review is influenced by the environment and not jut the food itself, which was likely influenced by the store front possibly not being complete construction wise?



The food:

Ordered a Ex Lrg thin NY cheese pizza.

I'm very picky, and there's only a select handful of places around I consider to come close to real NY pizza, and to my surprise, the pie from Cha Cha was actually pretty good - makes my short list of places I consider acceptable.

The only problem with the pizza was the oven. Like many short-cutting Texas places, they use a conveyor style oven instead of a true NY "deck" style oven.

The key difference in the "standard" NYC deck oven is gets slightly hotter, but more importantly, the decks have stone surfaces.

That's the key reason the crust comes out so good in NY, because the pizza is places on a 600-700 degree stone surface - so you get "conduction" from the bottom on the crust, and "radiation" from the normal oven heat on the top.

If only Cha Cha would splurge for the real NY oven, it would be really good pizza.

Too bad.



THough the cheese and sauce were great, and unlike in the real NYC, the cheff was pretty friendly, and generous with the cheese too!



We also ordered a meetball hero sandwich. It was ok, but nothing special. THe pizza was definitely more memorable than the hero.



Pizza gets 4 stars



The environment:

Possibly construction related issues, but on our visit, it was hot inside (virtually no AC), there was no ice for sodas, and there wasn't even an operational bathroom. When I asked if there was at least a sink to wash my hands, they said due to plumbing problems, we had to go next door to the gas station. Kinda yuk, though the place was clean inside, so didn't discourage us from eating...





Environment gets 2 stars.
