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.

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.

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

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.

Y'know, there are many places in NY where the pizza sucks.

The name NYPD doesn't really inspire confidence, everyone knows it's the NYFD who can really cook-DUH?

We're from NY, and frankly I found Bravo's pizza disgusting. I tried NYPD today - they had the margherita pizza on special - sauce, mozzarella, fresh basil and garlic, sold by the slice. I thought it was very good and I especially liked the taste of the crust. The pizza was thin except for the edges which were thick (I don't eat the edge of the crusts because they are a little doughy). Not having had their regular pizza, can't comment on the taste of the sauce - this margherita had a nice garlicky/basil flavor. The size of the slice was huge - for $2 it was a great deal. You can eat inside or they have a nice little outside dining area.

Are you from real NY or upstate? If you're from NYC/LI area I trust your judgement, upstate-not so much.

I think they are much too heavy on the tomato sauce for my taste but was glad to see that they offer pizza by the slice. I might try something else on their menu though.

I like pizza at other restaurants much better.
