The New York Pizzeria

Even though they are known in a certain secret society as "Indian Pizza"... This joint surprisingly dishes out a decent 'ZA.

In a discreet corner of this dumpy Section 8 Big Lots strip mall, hides a pizzeria that has been around since the 90's. How has it been around this long and no one has really heard about them? Simple... Because the Indian family who runs this hole don't have a fancy PR firm or bloggers lickin' their pieholes all over the intertubes. They keep it simple, fwesh and on da DL. Indians making pizza? WTF? HOW? WHY?

Their motto, "The Secret of Real NY Pizza is in the Crust", can not be said any better. But how is the crust you ask? ...Not bad. Thin, crispy and a light char makes this slice fold like the real deal. The sauce ain't too sweet and the cheese melts like it should. Just the right amount of gweeze dripping between the "V". This ain't no naan with paneer spread on top of it.

This is a decent 'ZA... As good as Rosa's? Hell no. But when's the last time you had a good slice not from the hands of a fat goomba? They have a lot of good specials which keeps the locals happy and their ovens on.

This is one Indian household that doesn't smell like curry when you walk in... But wouldn't it be a pleasant surprise to find a tandoori chicken 'ZA on the menu one day? Just don't push the friggin mango lassi.

These slumdogs are on fire or make that "phal"... And prolly millionaires as well.

2.5 Stars.

Shukriya!
