I did not like the pizza there.

What do they call garlic knots? Fuzz balls?

We tried NYPD and really enjoyed it. It is our new pizza place. We did have a long wait for pizza but we also understand it just opened and it takes time to get into the groove of things. After Paulys shut down, we have been continuously disappointed with pizza in the Villages. Glad NYPD is here!

As a guy from NYC I have no problem with their name or logo. BTW I think their Pizza is the best in TV.

As a native New Yorker it's also safe to say that pizza throughout New York City has changed over the years. It's not the same as it was 50 years ago when they used real cheese and a small pie was only $.90, a large pie $1.20, and a pitcher of soda was $3.00.

The best NY pizza that we've had recently was from Mezza Luna on Arthur Ave in the Bronx. Now that's not to say that you can't find good pizza elsewhere in NYC but you really have to look for it. The Albanians have now cornered the pizza market and it's not nearly as good as it used to be. So I wouldn't be so quick to hold NYC up as the pizza standard any more. Having had NYPD Pizza, I would say it's decent, especially for TV. I also think pizza like greeting cards is beginning to price itself out of the market, and people will soon discover that they can make better pizza at home for a fraction of the cost.

Hey, aren't you the same person who on another thread was praising CiCi's?

Yes Patty55, Aloha is definitely not a fan of NYPD Pizza. Agreed NYPD and Bravo's are not cheap but that's what they charging today for decent pizza. IMHO, the original CiCi's pizza was horrible stuff.

Then you probably remember Martio's Pizza on Middletown Rd in Nanuet? If you're a fan of thin crust pizza, Martio's was the place!

Martio's brick oven Pizza is excellent but my favorite in Rockland is Bardonia Pizza on RT 304.

My sister in law worked at Bank of NY is Pearl River.

We'll have to check out Bardonia Pizza on our next trip North. Memory not so good any more, but I recall that the Nanuet Hotel and Nanuet Restaurant (same owner) also had good pizza. I didn't think anyone in TV had ever heard of Bardonia. If you blink you've missed it!

Patty, did you find their menu on line? I can't find it.

We went to NYPD last week for lunch. The food and service were great. It is a small restaurant so I can see how it could get crowded.

This post brings out all the home sick NY'ers doesn't it?

The pizza and calzone's are pretty good here. But i ordered a large greek salad to go and was shocked by the small portion of food. I have ordered a large greek salad from 2 other places (Taki's and Starvo's) and after both my wife and i were finished eating we had more in the doggy bag then we had to start at NYPD. The price at all 3 places were about equal but wow what a huge disapointment we had when we opened the salad.

Average Pizza
 

We tried the Mariano pie tonight along with the garlic knots and we thought it was average. We're not particular about our pizza but wanted to try it since we had never been to it. The server said it's a chain restaurant.

The garlic rolls were tough for rolls and the marinara sauce was just ok. The Mariano pizza was bland so we asked for some marinara sauce to give it some flavor. The prices were average, along with the flavors. The place was full but then again it's a small restaurant. We don't plan on going back but if we did we would order other pizzas with hopefully more flavor.

Awhile back I described the food at Olive Garden as "average" and my friends on TOTV asked me to define average. So before anyone asks, I think you meant that it's acceptable but "nothing special." The best pizza we've had in or around TV was Pi on Brodway in Ocala, but that's a long way to drive for pizza.

Most of the time when you order pizza around here in TV, it shows up at your table like a rare steak . . . cool in the center and still moving. I've gotten pizzas with pracrically uncooked dough on the bottom, luke warm cheese, etc. We learned to say "well done"so that they'll make a reasonable attempt to cook the darn thing.

Average meant not much flavor and pretty comparable in price to other pizza restaurants. We didn't know what to expect before we went but probably will not return.

I tried to call for delivery on several occasions....the phone rang and rang and rang but no answer. Obviously, my prepared for delivery customers.

The food is fabulous and the pizza pies are 18 inches (huge) and hand made from scratch. Beer & wine is also available. Look for them next to the Allstate Insurance Agency in Buffalo ridge. Try Allstate as well - great people with great prices.

Carrabbas' Pizza Excellent
 

I had pizza at Carrabbas for the first time last night. They serve a 10" thin-crust pizza with a choice of two toppings for $10. I had one with Kalamata olives and sausage and it was excellent. Thin-crust pizza doesn't travel well, so I would think you'd want to eat it there rather than take out.

We love the pizzas at Carrabbas as well.

I got delivery from NYPD a few nights ago. Had calzone (without the "butter and garlic" topping) with sausage, a greek salad and zepoles. It was very good, they got the order right, even included a little cup of marinara for dipping.

We went to NYPD with another couple after a show at Savannah Ctr and it was our first time there. It was wonderful. We got the Queen's Deluxe, thin and crispy with thick but cooked edges. Best pizza we've had since we moved here from Massachusetts. It is now our go to place. Service was great too.

Maybe NYPD has improved. I'll give them one more chance.

Had a good meal of 2 huge slices at NYPD with 4 other people who also had 2 very large pizza slices. For the reasonable price, it was quite good. Would definitely go back.

I grew up near a town in upstate NY who's claim to fame was the Endicott-Johnson Shoe Company, and the birthplace of a little company called IBM. Many, many polish, italian & irish immigrants settled there. My introduction to pizza was at a little italian "hole in the wall" where an old grandfatherly guy called "Duff" hand-made pizzas & cooked them in an old coal oven. I got spoiled with that pizza, and with the exception of Lombardo's in NYC, I've never found a pizza that could match Duff's. Doesn't mean that I don't eat or don't like pizza, but I've never found anything that I liked as much as his.

I'm also from NY. I haven't had a good pizza since I moved here. NYPD is pretty good, Bravo's is also good, Mallory is good too. The worst are Luigino's and Flippers. Most of all I wish I could get a great hot dog. I have to send to NY to get my Salhens and Wardinski's, with my Webers mustard, oh yeah and Beef on Weck. yum

The ONLY pizza that tastes right to any of us is the pizza we grew up with. We have a LOT of unhappy pizza seekers here.

They serve Beef on Weck at the Bowling Alley restaurant at Spanish Springs.


Tell us about Sahens and Wardinski's hot dogs. What makes them good? Anything like Nathans? Nathans are new to me since I moved to Florida and I think they taste nice.

went there yesterday at about 2:30 pm and asked for two slices - i was told no slices after 2pm ????? i can get a slice any hour of the day in NYC - i could have bought a small (i think 8"or 10")pizza for $6.95 or $7 - No Thank you
good luck nypd --- why would you use a name like nypd ??? makes no sense to me --- firehouse subs --- nypd pizza ---

Duffs!!!! Haven't heard that name in a while. It was always my in-laws choice when they wanted pizza.

Now I have to settle for Brozzetti's when we go back.

Tried NYPD .... wouldn't go back.

I have called for delivery several times and no one answers the phone...guess the don't want the business....

NYPD Pizza cannot compare to Bravo's--and they answer the phone. Bravo's is as close to a NY pizza as you're going to find in this area. It even costs the same as a NY pizza!

Beef on weck at the bowling alley?? We had that in buffalo 3 years ago and all I've done is talk about how good it was. Is it any good at the bowling alley?? May have to give it a try.
