We stopped in late Monday night, and it was our first time visiting Trio. I saw a lot of positive reviews and hype on social media so I went in with very high expectations. Those expectations were far exceeded. As soon as we walked in the door we were greeted by several staff members, and were asked if we had any questions. They gave us the rundown on all of the pizza varieties in the window, and we asked about the famous Thinny Thin pizza. You could tell a lot of attention goes into their products, and even the way they describe them was impressive.
We ended up ordering that thin pie, along with the Tony Soprano slice, penne vodka slice, and a grandma slice. Let me tell you, the thin pie lives up to the hype. I asked for ours to be just slightly less charred than what they might typically do, and for me this was perfect. It was thin, flavorful, and this alone would bring me back - even with the 45-minute drive to get here. The other variety slices were all great as well, with the Tony Soprano being the favorite amongst all of us.
I didn't try any of the salad, but someone else in my party ordered the Green Patch salad and could not stop raving about it.
Towards the end of our visit, we were able to talk with one of the owners, John, and it was such a pleasure to chat with a down-to-earth person who truly appreciated us visiting his establishment. He had some food that was going to go to waste since it was the end of the night so they gave it to us to take home! Always nice to see that a business would rather give some food away at the end of the night than save it and reuse it the next day. I actually saw in some of the reviews that they make a point of saying that they don't keep food overnight. I shared some of the food that we took home with my neighbors and they also loved every bite of it.
All in all, this was a great visit and I definitely plan on visiting whenever I'm in the area or craving that thin pie. I highly...
Read moreThe pizza is by no means bad, but i think the quality is low for the price point. The price point is comparable to the popular places in manhattan like Scarr's, Mamas Too or L'industrie, although the quality is well below those places.
The largest issue across all pizzas is the crust is a bit dry and overly chewy. Not sure if it's underproofed or their oven is too low temperature or what, but a great pizza needs a great crust. Their tony soprano was a decent set of toppings, and thinny thin was OK. Clearly this is competing with New Haven style, but again, new haven crust comes out crispy and not "tough" like their's. My biggest issue was their white pie. This is clearly a take on Sally's potato pie, but it's really botched. The potato slices are too thick, such that some of them were still raw, it has too much cheese making it too heavy, the rosemary is large sprigs which taste very bitter and unpleasant (i took them off and i love rosemary), and the "caramelized onions" were not caramelized, but just softened. When you reheat those types of onions in big bunches they get slimy and unpleasant (sally's uses a small amount of thinly sliced raw onion that gets semi cooked during the pizza oven).
I think these guys are interested in making a really exceptional pizza place, and there's not many in northern westchester, so I hope they succeed but I think they should do some touring and see what's...
Read moreIngredients make all the difference!
On my first visit, I ordered a Tony Soprano pie, real plum tomatoes, sweet Soppressata, fresh mozzarella, and Basil. They knocked it out of the park!
When we called, they said they were busy and it would be an hour, no problem for us, pizza was right out of the oven when we arrived. While this pie was just for two, of us they offered us another pie from someone else that would be late picking up, just two of us we couldn't eat 2 pies...they said they were going to throw it out anyway as they would only serve a fresh pie to the original customer whenever they arrive. Attention to quality in every form!
The extra pie was a Thinny Thin prepared well done. Again, fresh mozzarella and basil on a thin crispy crust. If you like Neapolitan Pizza and want to skip the drive to New Haven, the Thinny Thin is for you... 0 flop, Dave Portnoy should approve.
While the food and service are great, I saved the best part. I stuffed myself on more pizza than I should have eaten, 2 Tony Soprano slices, 3 Thinny Thin slices, and while full, I dont feel bloated or any indigestion which I would get from just 2 slices at most pizza places. Whether it is the flour, fresh ingredients, or combination. This is a game changer.
Thank you, Trio, for doing everything right!
PS... If they tell you it will take an hour, wait,...
