NYPD Pizza
 

I will make this really quick: Ordered a large pizza on Sept.13th 2013 a Friday $ 20.00 and change.

Now NYPD touts their pizza as a taste of New York..ya know what they should be Arrested !!The Pizza is really terrible, I had Pepperoni, Sausage, and Cheese. Simple right ? What I got was a very bland run of the mill pizza, that you can get anywhere.

Honestly Do Not Waste your time going to NYPD expecting a good pizza you will be sadly disappointed." A Taste Of New York " Give me a Break " !!

As an ex New Yorker, I have thought that NYPD sometimes gets it right but other times does not. But their "off days" are still better than Papa Johns. When I simply must have pizza, I do NYPD or Belleview Pizza.

I have liked NYPD almost every time I have gone there. I have only been to Buffalo though having never had the opportunity to visit New York City. I would put Flippers as the best pizza in the Villages' area with NYPD second. Giovanni's is also good.

went only once and was told no single slices after 2 pm --- never went back and will never go back

I was NYPD,,,,, and NYPD Pizza does not represent NY City Pizza. Try Flippers or Bravos

I was disappointed to find that Giovanni's uses canned mushrooms. :yuck:

If you put your salad on top NYPD is not so bad.

Toscani's is pretty good.

Tell something that REALLY tastes like NY ... everything here is awful. I can live with NYPD web. I gotta have a pie

Truth is it's not happening. If you doctor it up it's not bad. I had Flippers with ricotta and eggplant-pretty good. NYPD with salad-okay. Most places do a bit better with calzone.

Forget al dente pasta, that don't happen either.

Really like NY PD Pizza
 

We've been NYPD Pizza on several occasions and all but one time the pizza was very good. Not sure it's as good as NY city pizza but its good. Flippers has the best pizza and we went to Bravo once and never went back. Simply paper thin pizza and we couldn't pick it up to eat it because the crust was so thin and doughy. But to each their own.

Did anyone mention Little Joeys, up 441 at Baylee on the left? Best I've had here, anyone else have an opinion of them?

We still prefer Snappy Tom on Bichara Blvd....and they're open for lunch.

Correction when I gotta have a pie not web LOL

AMEN on "everything here is awful". The pizza especially tastes like cardboard with ketchup as sauce. I'll do without until I go back for a visit.

Look to each is own, if anyone thinks that NYPD Pizza is good then who am I to try to convince you otherwise. It is a FRANCHISE that should be your first clue, to advertise their pizza as " A Taste Of New York " is well beyond a joke, it is TERRIBLE !! Hey if you think it's good then keep on going there.

Get a heat and eat cheese pizza from Aldi and put your favorite toppings on it and it is as good as any other in the area.

.

As a born and bred NY'r, I found NYPD to be the best around. Order your pie well done and it's almost (and I stress almost) like being home. Belleview is my second choice.

The rest are just cardboard with sauce on it.

We love NYPD... is it like what you'd get in NY? I have no clue. Our preference for our taste buds is NYPD.

We prefer NYPD to all others. We order it well done so it is more crispy which is how we like it. Have tried many others in TV and we keep going back to NYPD.

Unfortunately it's nothing like what you get in N.Y.C.

I've had NYPD Pizza, wasn't bad as far as I'm concerned. I'm from CA, pizza there is good, just as where everyone else came from. Had to get used to the change from the pizzas I grew up with in New England, but I tried different shops, types, till I found what I liked. If you don't like a particular pie, then don't get it again. This is a different part of the country, things are not exactly like where you came from. Not every pizza, every restaurant was THE BEST where you moved from....you tried various places till you found what you liked. You can do the same here, no one is stopping you from doing that.

Serious question. Is this a Northeast thing? I had several college friends from the Northeastern US who, for various reasons, found themselves in other parts of the country. When talking to them, I was baffled by their comments about food, housing, manners, and other regional differences. In their minds, if it was not done like they were used to growing up, it wasn't different, it was WRONG.

I've moved around a bit, and I've travelled throughout the country and it never occurred to me that regional differences were wrong, just different. I remember reading that Pizza Hut altered its sauce recipe in different parts of the country to account for regional preferences. I know that the Mexican food I enjoyed in San Diego is different from what I tasted in San Antonio. In all my years in SoCal, I don't remember people being so upset about regional differences.

You are absolutely right. I'm from Long Island, ask a Long Islander where they're from and they'll say "THE Island", New York City is "THE City"-LOL. THE City and THE Island have some great restaurants, they also have some terrible ones.

In this case, what makes different WRONG is that the restaurants here talk the talk and don't walk the walk. Everyone wants to capture the NYMA market, few have a clue what NY Italian food even tastes like. I think that if this restaurant was called KCPD the expectations would be different. On the other hand, at least they didn't call it NYFD-everyone knows that the FD are the cooks-LOL.

I really do wish there were more regional restaurants here, I don't even know what regional food from here is. I would like some good southern cooking, the kind of food people eat at home.

I have found that with Italian food Giovanni's and Toscani's "Get It". If you're specific about what you want they do it. Never had pizza from Giovanni's but seafood/linguine was very good. Toscani's almost always have broccoli rabe.

NYPD? It is what it is. The same way I tell McDonalds "no mustard" you have to ask for what you want.

Thanks for your opinion ref NYPD. I find such opinions about eating establishments helpful especially when I see consistency in others similiar comments. Consistency is the KEY to making any decision. So keep throwing out the restaurant ratings.

:agree::agree:

I have lived in several states and countries and different was different not wrong. I understand if the restaurant claims to be NY style why the person would expect what they are used to from NY, what I don't understand is the the constant complaining and comparing everything to the way it was in NY.

I guess cause the resturant is called NYPD and claims to be "just like New York"

AMEN and this 'Islander ' misses the food from 'The City '. It's the water that makes the dough nasty anywhere but NY.

No offense intended but you would need to be a New Yorker or at least a visitor to understand how awful pizza is in Florida (and Arizona as well) .

Food from THE Island? I'm sure you must have had Old Street Pub. I hear they're in FL.

We may be out of luck with that. I've been told I have to go north to get to the South. I guess Speckled Butter Bean was supposed to be southern cooking, but not many liked it enough for it to succeed.

Wonder what southerners think of BBQ in the north?

Is there such a thing? I like the bbq around here.

Wow I did stir things up with my opinion of NYPD Pizza. Look they put in bold advertising ' A Taste Of New York " to claim that is really a stretch not even remotely close.

Honestly the pizza is.. Bland, Skimpy Toppings, and basically Boring. It certainly is a run of the mill pizza that can be gotten anywhere. Like most eateries here in the Villages the food is Bland, Boring, Tasteless, Lacking in Imagination, and pretty much one step above hospital food and pretty much what you find in any airline terminal.

Now having said all that if anyone thinks that their favorite place to go out for dinner is great, and the chef is one step away from being discovered, Congratulations..Please Tell Everyone Where This " Gem " is. It has to be Secret.

I have been to NYC and I had the pizza it was good. I lived in Italy for three years, now that was excellent pizza. The Italians would probably feel about NYC pizza as you do about pizza from any place but NYC.

I've had Little Caesar pizza in NYC and in FL. Taste the same to me!

Bravo's really? One of the worst pizzas we've ever eaten I'm not from New York but I'm a New Englander and know a good pizza and Bravos isn't .Really haven't found a good pizza here but Toscani's, Giovanni's & Mallory are decent.If we want delivery we call Papa Johns.

??????????? Say again?

There's a myth that it's the water that makes the NYC pizza different. I call it a myth because while there's plenty of water in NYC, it's not anything you'd want to drink. The NYC reservoirs are in Westchester and Putnam counties north of NYC and east of the Hudson River as well as in Sullivan, Delaware, Ulster and Schoharie and maybe other counties, all west of the Hudson River and as much as 150 miles north of NYC. As you can see, NYC water comes from many places. To credit the water in NYC for the taste of the pizza ignores that fact that great pizza can be found in suburban NY in New Jersey, Connecticut, Rockland and Orange and Westchester counties and even on Long Island with each of these localities having their own water supply.

NYPD pizza
 

We went for our first time and we were VERY disappointed! Ordered very light cheese on my half, and it came LOADED with cheese. They made another one, and they put the light cheese on his half (he had different ingredients than me). Also we oordered double pepperoni, and it didn't even look like it had single pepperoni..........VERY skimpy on the meat. Won't go back to NYPD but will go to Flippers again.

For of the individuals that I helped in my very humble opinion of NYPD Pizza I will say a very, very, humble " THANK YOU " and " YOUR WELCOME "

For those who choose to be repeat customers of NYPD Pizza,..One tiny suggestion..Go to the frozen food section of your favorite supermarket pick out any frozen pizza, prepare as directed. Then it is game on : NYPD Pizza vs Frozen Pizza. Now do it as a blind test ..Lights out NYPD Pizza.
