NYPD Pizza
 

NYPD Pizza is now open. It is located in the strip mall, in front of Walmart, on 466.

I just ate my first pie from NYPD. The place was very crowded, the service was very good and the pie was delicious!! A 10" pepperoni was $7.50 plus tax for total of $8.03.

I will definitly go back.

Do they deliver?

That is their plan once they have things worked out and running smoothly.....

I looked at their menu, they have zeppole's:coolsmiley: and Italian Ice:a040:

Looking forward to trying it

We will try it at some point.

We went to NYPD Pizza tonight. The place is small, it was filled with people, the service was great and the pizza was DELICIOUS! Delivery will be offered, already is, but they shut it off tonight because of too many customers eating in the restaurant....oven, though quite large can only cook so many pies at one time....:). We'll go back again....:icon_hungry:

Is it thin crust pizza? Brick oven?

Wife and I went there for dinner, I had a 10" pizza and she had the Veggie Roll. Food was great and staff was friendly and helpful.
It was the best Pizza I've had since we left NY.

Tip for NY'ers Order the Pizza well done.

I'm going to make sure I get a weekly Pizza fix there.

The other night I had a 10" pizza and my husband had a meatball parm hero. Loved the pizza (better than Flippers). The meatballs were delicious.

We will be returning on a regular basis.

NYPD Pizza
 

We went by there this morning and saw the Village Cheerleaders standing in front of a fire truck taking pictures. Lots of balloons around the area and people too. Looking forward to giving it a try after the newness dies down.

Today is their official opening party.
Had pizza there for the first time last night and it was very good. The girls could not have been nicer either. Love the New York artwork on the walls. Overall, a great experience. Will deflinitely be returning.

Went on their soft opening and it gave me the NY pizza fix I have been looking for since i moved here. Now they have to make it bigger so they can handle the crowds. The rest of the pizza (use the word loosely) places are horrible.

I tried NYPD and enjoyed it very much. The only other pizza place that reminds me of NY style Pizza is Bravo's in LSL. I was disappointed in Flippers and I found CiCi's one of the most tasteless pizza I've had.

I went the other night. The pizza was delicious and the workers were friendly and efficient. They have an unusual pizza oven. The three levels of trays inside the oven revolve. It looked weird to me. Oh yeah.....they are now delivering and they also serve pizza by the slice in the afternoons, but I don't remember at what time they stop doing it.

We were there this afternoon. The place was very busy and they have a pretty good menu. The service was good considering how new NYPD is and how busy they were. Slow but that's because of the crowd. I expected that. The pizza, unfortunately, was disappointing. Definitely not NY style pizza. I just had pizza in NY last week so it's not like I've forgotten what it tastes like. Maybe it'll improve. I'll give them another chance in a few weeks.
Interesting sideline, as we sat there one of the servers sat at a table across the aisle from us rolling the silverware in the napkins. As she worked she checked the silver for marks and rubbed them off with her fingers. When she saw bit of caked on food she scraped it off with her fingernail and rolled it up in a napkin, ready for another customer. I think I'll stick to food I can eat with my fingers.

Dirty hands wiping silverware then rolling it up in napkins? Ugh. Needs to be reported to a manager. Poor training on someones part.

Just my opinion, there are much better places to get pizza in TV and nearby.

Just had the margarita pizza at Bleecker St. pizza in Greenwich Village which I understand has won best pizza in NYC for three years. It was wonderful. Can anyone compare to NYPD pizza?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was disappointed with the pizza. I had tried one of the Orlando stores and they were very good. I've tried them twice but I be go back again to see if it changes.

I was amused by the comment in the Daily Sun by the owner of NYPD Pizza. He said the water used in the dough is filtered to get the same Ph as NY City water. He further went on to say a couple of paragraphs later that filtered water from Florida water is no good for the dough.

I have not had their pizza yet. Best pizza around The Villages, I believe, is the pizza at Mallory Hill Country Club.

Trading on the bravery of the NYPD is doubious, I think.

45 minute wait for a TO-GO pizza is a bit much especially when those who sit to eat ordered less than us and came in 15 min after us. Don't mind waiting but DO mind being penalized for WAITING FOR TAKE AWAY. Not polite.
wouldn't happen in NY. Not that they cared, but, we left. we ordered 3 pies and 3 salads. vs split 1 pesonal pie and 1 glass; 2 straws on the cola.
once they iron out the kinks, i hope to go back and try it again.

We're from NY and our issue with pizzas down here is that they put on too much sauce. The last time I had it from Mallory's it was dripping with sauce, yuck! I've been getting it from Flippers - tell them easy on the sauce and well done. It works for us. But we'll give NYPD a try.

When you order pizza and you don't like alot of sauce...just say 1/2 the sauce. If you prefer less toppings or more, tell them! Up north we had friends who'd do this...even at Pizza Hut!!

Did you know if you eat at restaurants that serve french fries you can ask for extra crispy, if the fries aren't cooked very long??

Hate ti Write This
 

I really hate to write this as we were looking forward to good NY Pizza and Pasta. Yesterday we ordered and received Pasta and Zitti to go. To
say we were disappointed would be an understatement. First the amount
included in the take out containers were at most 1/3 rd of the containers as opposed to the other Italian Resturant in Wedgewood provides full dishes. They both had way too much sauce. The price for these two combined was
over $20 and adding the two together would not make up one dish. I seriously doubt we will go back for some time. My suggestion for the Owners would be to visit some of the other Italian Resturant's in The Villages to see
their practices. I believe they will have a hard time if they continue to serve
as last night. I seldom give opinions on Resturants as that is really up to the
diner but in this case I would like to see them succeed and therefore I wanted to give our impression. Maybe they should stay with Pizza until they get an act together for other offers.:ohdear:

Maybe you should share your thoughts with the management.

Good Point
 

Bogie Shooter..That is a good point under normal circumstances. In this case
it is impossible to believe there was no recognition of the amount of pasta included in the take out and if not then it should have been!! As mentioned we were charged over $20 and it was outrages for the amount served.
I can't believe no one noticed in Management. If not then the problem is bigger than a "serving size". :ohdear:

I had never heard of asking for a pizza "well-done" until I got to The Villages and heard some New Yorkers talking about pizza. What other way would pizza be than well-done? In a "regular" pizza, the crust is cooked all the way through, the toppings are cooked completely, and the cheese on top is browned. What the heck is "well-done"?

I like sauce on the pizza. I have had some pizza that barely has any sauce on it and it lacks flavor because of the very limited amount of sauce. The sauce on the pizza makes the flavor as well as the toppings.

No Italian Ice here. I think they have a no-compete agreement with High-Five at the other end of the row.

NYPD won't sell Italian Ice and High Five won't sell pizza flavored yogurt or pepperoni toppings for it!

Also their NYPD noon time $.99 pizza slice in Orlando, is $1.99 here.

Skip

:ho:

Been there 5 times since soft opening to last night..WONDERFULL!
FINALLY REAL NY PIZZA! They even ship in NYC water for the dough and sauc.......

Whats with the water part??? Special water?????? Thanks

Cool.

Now if we could get San Francisco sourdough bread in the Villages. That also depends on SF area water and dough.

You should re-read their information about the NYC water. In the newspaper article in the Daily Sun, the owner of NYPD Pizza said they have a filtration system installed to give the water the same Ph level as in NYC. It is not water they ship in from NYC. Interestingly, he further went on to say that filtered Florida water cannot make good dough. Well, he just stated he uses filtered Florida water to get the NYC Ph level and then said that filtered Florida water cannot make good pizza dough. Mmmmm?

We have the market cornered here on TOTV for partial truths, half truths, real rumors, fake rumors and quasi-information. Sometimes it makes my blood boil.

When I grow up I am gonna be a real journalist like my granddaughter and check my sources and ........

never mind.

I am mad today...but it isn't about this thread or about your post Buggyone.

My wife and I went to NYPD Pizza and were excited to see the place buzzing with activity.
The menu was well versed in NYC jargon. As a native New Yorker we are definitely accustomed to the taste of "real"pizza.
Unfortunately the Pizza fell quite a bit short of any reasonable expectation.
It was round and had stuff on top but that's it.
Too doughy and the sauce was, well Ragu-ish. Keep at it and if it's still open in 6 months well give it another try.
We got robbed at NYPD Pizza.

OH NO - CALL THE NYPD ! :MOJE_whot:

Sorry - had to !

Don't those pizza's come already made?????? Just put in oven??

Pizza
 

We went for lunch today and honestly both of us did not like the taste of the sauce. The closest to NY pizza we have eaten is at Bravos in Sumter Landing.

There is a car wash in Inverness, corner of 44 and 41, a half hour west of here, that's called NY Car Wash. I guess they also use NY water. Everybody is trying to attract the homesick NY'ers.
