Paulie
Gee’s
matches
the
vibe
of
chilling
at
your
favorite
cousin’s
house
party
(all
the
waiting
staff
were
wearing
beanies,
gosh
darn).
It
feels
relaxingly
industrial
with
ceramic
tiles
lining
the
floors
balanced
with
dim,
yet
warming
lighting.
The
environment
is
lively,
but
not
so
loud
that
it’s
difficult
to
hold
a
private
conservation.
I
visited
in
January
and
sat
by
the
door,
and
I
must
say
there
was
a
bit
of
a
draft.
Paulie
G.
offers
an
exciting
drink
menu
with
some
unique
choices.
The
Kalimotxo
and
limoncello
spritz
were
sipped
on.
I
also
ordered
some
Neapolitan-style
pizzas.
I’m
a
vegetarian
and
was
happy
to
see
there
were
plenty
of
options.
The
dough
was
the
star;
the
amazingly
crispy
yet
chewy
crust
needed
not
a
single
topping
(they
were
appreciated,
however).
The
pizzas
were
ready
quickly
with
beautifully
charred
air
bubbles
in
their
12
inch
form,
which
is
about
enough
for
one
person
and
a
snack
the
next
day.
I
tried:
- The
Caio
e
Pepe
Pie:
inspired
by
the
pasta
dish;
chilled
burrata
swaddled
by
the
warm
embrace
of
melty
mozzarella
and
pecorino
with
plenty
of
black
pepper.
I
became
emotionally
distraught
when
it
was
all
gone.
- The
Trustfall
Pie:
I
closed
my
eyes,
crossed
my
arms,
and
fell
into
the
arms
of
a
wonderful
mushroom
pie
with
red
sauce
that
had
a
bit
of
a
red
pepper
flake
kick.
None
of
the
pizzas
are
overloaded
with
sauce
and
toppings
and
are
well-balanced.
There
aren’t
a
lot
of
things
that
shivery
Central
Ohio
has
in
common
with
picturesque
Napoli,
but
Paulie
Gee’s
is
bringing
a
slice
of
Italy
and
their
unique
pizza
style
to
Columbus.
Square
Detroit-style
pizzas
are
available,
but
it
feels
wrong
to
not
get
a
thin,
chewy
Neapolitan-style
pie
from
a
place
with
a
wood
fire
oven.
I
feel
a
degree
of
separation
anxiety
from
the
pizzas
at
Paulie’s,
and
I
will
definitely
stop
by
when
I’m
in
the
Short
North
again.
