New York New York Pizza — Restaurant in Wesley Chapel

This place certainly lives up to it's name. Rude employees and it smells disgusting. Walked up and tried to order. Didn't see a menu. I asked the employee if there was one and he must not have heard me and walked away. After standing there awkwardly he came back and when I asked again gave me a crumpled up stapled takeout menu and said that was the only one. After going outside to wait I had to bring my son back in to use the restroom. Employees were talking loud and buying weed. I don't care what they do and honestly working at a restaurant I'd expect them to partake. Maybe don't yell it in front of customers, especially kids though. That explains why he didn't pay attention to me before. Don't get baked to the point you can't focus on a few seconds of conversation. The back area smelled like **. Restroom was clean and smelled fine but the area behind the kitchen was rotten. As far as the food goes, my hot garlic wings were delicious. The garlic parm wings were just plain wings with shaved garlic. No cheese or sauce just garlic. Kinda weird. My son had cheese pizza. It was good (impossible to screw up but then again I don't know how you screw up garlic parmesan wings) but I understand why they keep 6 different condiments on the table. I'm positive the only reason this place has such high ratings is people from up north with bland taste keep going there based...

Ordered for the first time recently and was pleased with one part of my food and not so much with the other. I'll say that if you're very particular about gloves being used you don't want to try this place because they don't. I wasn't aware of this as I called in my order for pick up. Had I known this, I would not have chosen this restaurant. The pizza slice was absolutely delicious although it is the most that I've ever paid for only a slice. It had a crispy bottom which I hadn't experienced before from other places unless you ask for it to be crispy. Having a pizza slice that can be picked up and doesn't flop on you is so satisfying and I was very pleased. That alone was worth me trying them and made me happy. The garlic knots though I didn't enjoy but perhaps maybe fresh cut garlic placed on top of the bread is your jam. It is not mine and I wouldn't recommend them. The marinara was more liquidy than chunky which again isn't my preference but maybe other folks like it that way. Overall it was a decent experience, the employee that answered the phone to take my order was the same person at the counter when I arrived and she was very pleasant...

I am from New York. I have been looking gor pizza in Florida that doesn't suck. While there are several pizzerias I have found to fit that description, New York New York is by far the best I have had in Florida. I have read that it is not possible to make the dough and the sauce taste right in Florida due to the water not being very good. Apparently that is not true. The dough and sauce at New York New York taste authentic. The dough is spread so thin that the pizza flops over when you pick it up by the crust. You will have to use two hands to successfully put the slice in your mouth without losing cheese and half of the toppings (as anyone from New York can attest to, this is a very... Very good thing).

The staff is courteous, the kitchen and dining area are very clean.

It is easy to miss this place from the road, and if you drive past it, it will take you 5 minutes to try again... I have been here 3 times now, and missed it twice. Be smarter than me: use your gps.

5 out of 5 stars for being the best pizza place I have...
