I have lived in Alachua for three years. Â NY Pizza Plus was my first meal, on my first night, and I have been in love ever since.
I can honestly say I have had pizza in New York City, downtown, Manhattan. Â As NY as it gets. Â This pizza is about as close as you can get, without the plane ticket. Â Is it exact? Â No. Â But it darned sure is a contender for best pizza around.
I get a pizza from this restaurant, almost religiously.....every Friday night. Â So, yeah. Â I've had it a few times. Â It has NEVER disappointed. Â One of the most consistent pies out there. Â
Their main fare dishes rival those of many South Boston Italian bistros I have been to, as well. Â If you want to try a little bit of everything, I suggest the lunch buffet. Â They put out a beautiful salad and antipasto selection, as well as pizzas, and some Italian dishes (lasagna, meatballs, etc...).
Beware...Tuesday night is Trivia Night, and it is usually a packed house.
Love their vegetarian pizza!! It gets kinda soggy afterward from all the veggies but that's why it's a veggie pizza...
But came in here with the BFF for their Wednesday night special which this review is for. Â Was not busy when we arrived and was greeted promptly to sit anywhere we liked. Â We chose a booth for privacy and comfort.
We were greeted by a young man who took our drink orders of sweet teas. Â We were then greeted by another young man who took our food orders. My bestie decided to go with their #1 Wednesday special of all-you-can-eat shrimp and fries and I went with the #2 special of seafood pasta. Â Our orders came with a choice of soup or salad. Â She chose the Caesar salad and I had the Cream of Broccoli, which was creamy and great with the garlic knots sopped in it. Â Their garlic bread is a 5/5 by the way..we had to ask for 2nd servings :]
All in all, the pasta was a huge serving enough for 2 people, in my opinion. Â It had mussels, clams, shrimp, scallops, and capers. Â I could not finish it due to the fullness I felt from the soup and garlic bread. Â
She said her butterflied, fried shrimp was tasty and she had a 2nd order of it. Â Service was extremely friendly and attentive. Â The waiters seemed to work as a team and were always refilling our sweet teas. Â My bestie is a regular and I can see why =).
