It's been several years since my wife and I had been at NY Pizza Department (formally know as NYPD Pizza) There menu seemed to have less items on it. Our waiter Joseph was great . After we had our pizza he told us about the changes that been made since Covid took place. He's an ex New Yorker ( like myself), so that will get you extra points in my book. We had a half Sicilian Margherrita Pizza. It came out perfect. It tasted great too! I have too make a better effort in going to NY Pizza more offten.
Pleasantly surprised! Great food! Great service too (Aubrey) Not just pizza. I'll be back!
Pizza, wings and mozzarella sticks were amazing! Definitely recommend, service was great!
This is what makes pizza the best food out there, in my opinion. We ended up having their garlic cheese knots, which came in a pack of six with a side of marinara, and they were amazing. Garlicky, fluffy, and cheesy. They were among of the best I've tasted. And we ended up having the Mott's Street Lover pizza and buffalo, both of which were delicious! The pizza's bottom had the perfect crisp and toast, and the cheese pull was fantastic. And the buffalo was truly outstanding. The server suggested removing the gorgonzola cheese, which I agree with! Please visit this restaurant; it's a perfect 100/10!
After four years we came back. I'm glad I did, it seems like there is new management. We came in and got seated after a few minutes. The manager came over and greeted our table! They gave the kids dough to play with while we were waiting on our food which was super nice! The kids loved it, we actually just came back from the children's museum so that just added to their experience for the day. The waiter was very attentive. It was pretty empty inside. Very clean. The food took about 25-30 min. Food was hot , tasted good. The kids meals are a great portion size. The pizza bites on the kids menu is two slices of pizzas cut up, def not what we expected but still good and might order it for myself next time lol. Wings were average. My niece enjoyed her spaghetti & the garlic cheese rolls was perfect for everyone to share.
Me and my partner are wing connoisseurs, best wings hands down. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, The service was exceptional and attentive staff. Highly recommended for any wing enthusiast!
I love this location as its close to my house. I've been coming here forever since this location launched. I used to go to 20th Street behind the Best buy on Camelback. That is until I try to get a job there back in the 2000s. But that's not a knock on New York Pizza Department Pizza that's on the general manager that was there at the time but this location is awesome friendly vibe wonderful people and great aura and professionalism. Plus my FAVORITE former Pastor Lives in the Area So I ordered the my vinnies instead of doing a my za' the dude was smart enough to know that corporate usually likes to upcharge on certain things on their menu (also not a knock but it's a great sales tick )so I just chose to save a little money. The cook forgot to put kalamata instead of black olive and I had to wait another 7 minutes and I easily forgave them because this is my place and I will not be an asshat
We came to this place for the appetizers. Bruschetta and garlic knots. The garlic knots are more like dinner rolls. You'll need to add this with ranch on the side. Buy yourself Virgil's Root beer from Sprouts to wash down this wonderful appetizer!
