From the moment our family walked in the door, we felt welcome to such a degree as I have not felt in a long, long time. A table was prepared for us and we were seated without delay. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was warm, and the food was superb.
About the food:
As we are on a limited budget (my wife and I have 5 children), we generally order simple food without many frills. Today was no exception. Our family enjoyed 2 large cheese pizzas and a round of root beers. Also, my wife and I split an order of bruschetta.
The bruschetta was prepared on a split loaf of small Italian bread. The bread was toasted and seasoned. Sweet cherry tomatoes, garlic and onion with fresh basil topped the bread. It was delightful and fresh - very different from other recipes I've tried.
The pizza - the crust was hand-tossed. Not even all the way around, but rustic and light nonetheless. The sauce was extraordinary - fresh and chunky with just the right amount of oregano to make it pop. The cheese (I don't remember what kind of cheese it was - I did ask) was creamy and soft without being overly greasy or gooey. All this at a price that makes me want to take my family back again and again.
Thank you, New York Pizzeria and Restaurant! You get two thumbs up!
