Every small town should have at least one pizzeria, and Perry, which is just west of Letchworth State Park, has Daryl's, on Rt. 39, a/k/a Main St. I stopped in on a recent drive south.
This slice, which I got in mid afternoon, was pretty fresh, from the looks of it. It was medium thick, with an underside that was not particularly dark but which was reasonably crisp. There was a light dusting of corn meal adhering to the crust. (I should mention that I declined to get it rewarmed, which would have made the crust a little darker and probably crisper too.)
The standard, wide and thin slices of pepperoni were OK, a little oily and more chewy than crisp. Aside from a light sprinkling of grated cheese on top,the moderate layer of cheese seemed to be all mozzarella, and it had a subtle but pleasing tanginess. The sauce was added in good proportion to the crust, and had a middle-of-the-road flavor and medium-thick consistency. A few flecks of dried herbs were visible, but this was not an assertively flavored sauce.
Not only should every small town have at least one pizzeria, it should have a good pizzeria. This was just a single slice, but based on this brief stop, I'd say Daryl's fulfills that role for Perry. This was good, and I'll give it a B.
