The Original NY Style Pizza & Italian Restaurant, Broomfield, Colorado — Restaurant in Broomfield

Want a trip to The Jerry Springer show for the cost of a sub par (at best) pizza? Then this is the place for you! If I could give this place negative stars, trust me, I would. This was our first trip to this pizza place, we walked inside and stood there for a few minutes and were ignored by the workers behind the counter, which turned out to be the owner and his daughter. We walked around the corner and was greeted by a sweet and friendly young hostess who promptly sat us. We had a wonderful server Michelle who was quick and attentive. we ordered salad, and a pizza. We got our salad and moments after is when the fireworks started. The owner and his daughter began very loudly yelling at one another as if no one else was there!?! My husband and I just kind of chuckled, sat back and got ready for the entertainment. The comedy of the situation quickly turned to my blood boiling and the most uncomfortable I can ever remember being. The owner's daughter began belligerently yelling at every single employee she could including our poor server, who did everything she could, even admitting she was wrong loudly to get the woman in the kitchen to stop yelling, so the customer's wouldn't have to endure it. The owner's daughter then began to tell another employee how shi**y she was at her job and that she was ugly and she hoped she was arrested later that night (no, i'm not making this up), the owner and his daughter began to get into it again and by this time I was at my breaking point and it took everything in me not to stand up and tell these people what low lifes they are and how ashamed they should be of their disgusting behavior. The owner's daughter then began to taunt our sweet server (who was a bit older than she) about how she was a sixty year old acting like a 3 year old. Wow, being from the south, if anyone I know EVER spoke to someone older than them like that, it wouldn't be pretty. We quickly told our server we lost our appetites and were ready to roll. We made sure to take care of her and she was a doll. Bless her heart! That chick in the kitchen needs some serious medicine or a straight jacket. As we walked out the owner began yelling at the Beer rep that had shown up a couple hours later due to bad weather coming in... wow... Obviously, we will never spend a dime in the place again. On top of all that antics the food was awful. YES, I went out of my way to write this review because it was THAT...

Decently priced pizza (the place is cash-only) that tastes quite basic with a rude staff and unusual service style. I've visited this place on three separate occasions, once during a lunch rush when there was a line almost out the door. Once during a slow almost-dead time of day, and another time on a weekend about an hour after they opened. All three times were totally different. The first time the line went quickly, I was served by an older lady with curly hair; she didn't seem all too interested in being friendly or smiling, but I wrote that off as it being the middle of a lunch rush. The pizza was okay, but the crust had been cracker baked as if the lunch specials are just slices they reheated for too long. On this visit, after taking a seat someone came and delivered the food to my table, this is important because it didn't happen on my third visit. The second visit I ordered ahead and got something to go. Same thing, the two slice and drink lunch special, but they seemed to have lost my order when I got there and everyone was visibly frustrated at trying to solve the situation. They weren't quite as busy as they had been before, because it was almost 2:00 pm at this time. I was a bit shocked that they seemed angry at me for attempting to pick up my lunch order, as if I had inconvenienced them somehow or they didn't believe me about ordering ahead. The third visit I sat down again and ordered some two slices and a cannoli. This time they never brought the food out to me and I had to go back to the counter to ask what became of my food. They brought me the slices shortly afterward, and when I asked about the cannoli the man who was serving me almost yelled at me and said "How many cannoli?" I said one, so he yelled back to make me one cannoli. At this point I should mention almost no one else was in the restaurant at that time. After eating my slices I waited a bit and realized they probably weren't going to bring my cannoli either. I thought about going and asking about it, but decided to wait and see what was up with this strange system of service. I waited forty minutes, no cannoli. Later, I left without saying anything to anyone. I mean, hopefully the $3.99 I paid for the cannoli I never got was a good tip for someone that day. It's the last time I'll give this place any money. Just an odd, inconsistent, bizarre place. Quite the unique...

Wow, what a find. Not sure where my bf got his list of best pizza's in the Denver area but one bite of this traditional NY style pie made me happy he thought of checking that list yesterday. We were getting hangry on the drive from FoCo to Arvada and decided to consult the list. So happy we did because I'd been longing for a taste of home. Exiting the car we were immediately greeted with that old familiar smell of our fav restaurants from back east. Walking into the establishment was like stepping back in time. To say I was happy would be an understatement. Greeted by the stacked traditional deck ovens and an ambience of old school NY pizza shops I felt like I was in the right place to satisfy my craving for pizza. The lovely woman behind the counter greeted us with a workman like attitude of someone who's been doing this their whole life. Sensing we were slightly overwhelmed by the menu and experience she pointed us to the dining room and implored us to take our time. The menu read like a letter from an old friend. All the classic Italian dishes I'd loved as a child were there. My bf asked if he could just order for us both as I swooned over the options. He's never let me down in the past when he does this so I happily said yes. He came back to the table explain his choices. He believes your first time at a restaurant you should order what they do best. He got us a large Best Seller and a Antipasto salad. The salad came out looking too pretty to eat. It was the perfect mix of meat, cheese, and salad. The Italian dressing was thick and flavorful. My bf refused to bring any home and finished it with a big smile on his face. The pizza came out looking like a long lost memory brought to life. The pepperoni curled just enough for the oil to pool, the sausage was sliced to perfection and the mushrooms brought a flavor that united the pizza into a combination I have not had the pleasure to taste in the 10 years I've lived in CO. We left with half the pizza, joking that it might not make it back to FoCo. To say we loved the food, the people and the price wouldn't do the experience justice. This place is a gem and we will be back, again and again, until we have tried everything on the menu. Thank you to the staff for being so nice and welcoming and congratulations on creating an authentic New York style pizza and...
