I'm a bit confused about this place. I was in the area on a visit and had heard from more than one acquaintance that the pizza prepared at this establishment was exceptional. As a pizza lover with expansive experience with pizza in both Europe and...the United States, I was interested. Today we had lunch here. The place was unpleasantly noisy and the wait at the bathrooms to wash hands before eating was unwelcome. Rather than a bunch of individual bathrooms, perhaps a larger area, combining the individual bathrooms into private stalls, with a common area for hand washing would make more sense. That's a typical approach in Italy and France, and it works very well. The waiter was prompt and attentive, if a bit annoyingly intrusive. And now to the pizza. It was... underwhelming. Don't get me wrong -- it was fine. It just failed to live up to its billing. Frankly, one pizza had a crust that was piping hot but slightly undercooked (judging from it's flaccid nature and the raw dough flavor apparent with each bite) whereas the other pizza ordered for the table was nearly room temperature upon delivery. Clearly, the latter had been cooked first and set aside, while the former had been rushed and brought to the table undercooked. The tomato sauce was okay. Nothing exceptional but it didn't detract from the pizzas. The other toppings were fine -- sufficient in quantity and reasonably flavorable. I'm frankly a bit skeptical about this "world pizza champion" billing, whatever that's supposed to mean. I've had far better pizzas at other restaurants that are recognized as having good products. I've even had far better pizzas at places with no awards (claimed or otherwise) at all. In other words and in my experience, Six Hundred Downtown is capable of giving patrons an okay pizza with somewhat inconsistent preparation. It won't be the best pizza you've ever had (and my condolences to you if you think it does) and it won't be the worst. It's an okay pizza place that left this customer wondering where the hype originates.More
