Much of the food in this place is seasoned to appeal to an Indo-Pakistan taste though borrowing some mexican taste such as jalapeno, habanero, cilantro along with curry staples such as coriander & circumin. Their prices for sandwiches are a little more than usual but acceptable, prices for non alcoholic beverages are high, and for pizzas some border on insane but of course they have some of the most unusual pizzas youll find anywhere. We ordered a sandwich called Truffle Eleven, a sandwich called Queen Eggplant, and disco fries. The Truffle Eleven is supposed to be sliced steak, chopped smoked bacon with mozzarella on garlic bread with Truffle mayonaise. I got roast beef with bacon bits mozzarella and mayonnaise the sandwich was good size, tasted ok with a hint of garlic & mayonaise but very greasy $10 - it also came with a small portion of coleslaw that was too spicy for my taste. The Queen eggplant is grilled eggplant in vodka sauce, roasted red peppers, ricotta & smoked mozzarella. We opted for no peppers, the sandwich was a decent size, no discernable vodka flavor, kind of mushy with peel still on $9.50 probably wouldnt order this again and it also came with small portion of previously mentioned spicey slaw. The disco fries are their variant the french canadian poutain, which consist of fries covered in brown gravy and cheese (mozzarella) in this case. They were advertised as smothered in gravy while actually had very little gravy but a good amount of mozzarella on top. They tasted pretty good, portion was medium sized - $6.50 A 16oz sprite + 12oz coke - $5 Total out the door after tax $34.55
Ambience - dive, this is not a place you would bring someone for a date or celebration, more likely grab and go. The staff are friendly and dont bite plus you can feel comfortable eating there and wouldnt...
Read moreI saw a feature about this place on German TV one year ago and decided, that I should try this place on my next visit to NYC.
When I mentioned this to the guy in charge, he gave me an additional slice of the "Krave It FCW" for free to try. It was delicious. As were the other slices I ordered. And the fried oreos.
What really surprised me was the "Mac-Tastic" (which I ordered with mixed feelings but also a bit of adventurousness): I actually don't like Mac&Cheese, but this pizza was def the best I tried at this place on my current visit!
As my two sons and I weren't able to finish alle the slices, I took the remainings with me back to Switzerland for my wife (who unfortunately for vocational reasons couldn't join us this time). I gave them to her for lunch on the next day - and though it was approx. 18hrs after original preparation, the pizzae were still yummi!
(Fun fact: in 2001 German late-show-TV-host Harald Schmidt once ordered a "kocher pizza" from NYC, which was brought to him by FedEx, because he always wanted to know, what a "kocher pizza" tasted like. It took his pizza more than 48hrs to be delivered from NYC to Cologne, Germany. I have now beaten him by 30hrs!
Hey, "Pizza Gang": evet thought of delivering to Europe?)
We'll be definitely calling in again on our next visit to NYC in late September. Hoping to get a slide of the "Homer Simpson" (as promised) and maybe even of the "World Famous Cheeseburger Pizza" (my elder son LOVES cheeseburgers and pizza as well!) when we return in the late afternoon of Sept 29th... nudge, nudge...
Trust me: these guys REALLY MADE PIZZA...
