This is some of the tastiest pizza I've had in a while! When we lived closer, New York Pizzeria was our go-to place for some good pies. Driving home from the gym the other night, I stopped in to pick us up a quick and tasty dinner to reminisce on.
I ordered a large pizza half the long island and half the queens. The long island was a new combo for us, and is probably now my new favorite thing to get on a pizza. It is a white sauce (not the healthiest, but then again when is pizza healthy!?!) with sliced chicken dressed up like chicken parm, roasted red peppers and garlic. The queens pizza had a pesto sauce with artichokes, mushroom, tomatoes, and garlic - it was good, but compared to the long island, it couldn't hold its own.
I also ordered a greek salad, which came with olives (green and black), pepperoni, feta cheese, and tomatoes. The variety of the olives totally made my salad, and I couldn't have asked for it to be made any other way.
Mehhhh. I so wanted this place to be better than the Google reviews but, unfortunately, they were pretty spot on.
Husband, friend and I ordered food (salad, boneless wings + stromboli) from this place to be delivered to the Bull & Bush while they're remodeling. Salads were legit but the boneless wings were merely chicken breasts cut up into cubes with light sauce on them. Definitely not boneless wings. However, our friend's stromboli looked amazing.
So we decided to order a salad + pizza for delivery to our apartment tonight. As the Google reviews warned - it seems like these folks might not be paying the best attention. I had to repeat our order several times on the phone because it seemed like the guy had spaced out. At the end of our order, the guy ended the call without giving us a time estimate - kind of important for hungry stomachs to know.
About 30 minutes after ordering, got a call confirming our apartment # - good thing they called because they had a very wrong apartment # (2XX vs 7XX). 20 minutes later, got a call that they couldn't find our apartment... because they were in the wrong apartment complex.
Our pizza arrived cold... and wrong. We ordered 1/2 Hawaiian, 1/2 pepperoni/jalapeno but instead got 1/2 Hawaiian, 1/2 cheese. Also ordered a salad with no black olives but salad contained black olives.
I really wanted to like this place - they're nearby and so many of you yelpers said the pizza was great. Meh - I think if our pizza had been delivered on time, correctly and HOT, I could agree! It had potential but failed to deliver (pun intended). With a number of pizza places nearby, we probably won't be trying New York Pizzeria again.
I feel so bad for people on here saying this was the best pizza you had. Â To think what you had before this and tolerated, you poor things. Â The pizza itself wasn't great. Â It was on the boarder line of good/fair. Â I ate several pieces mainly due to my hunger. Â I didn't care for the sausage they used and the sauce was ok. Â This would do in a pinch, which is what I needed but it'll be a long time before I eat it again.
The phone person was friendly as was the driver. Â Delivery promised at 40-45min came in at around 30 min and the pizza was hot. Â They get the extra star for service because they earned that. Â But the pizza was definitely 2 starts IMHO.
Moving is a stressful business, and after a hard day's work, no one wants to cook... meaning pizza becomes a necessity. Â
I'm a thin-crust kind of lady. Â I can't do deep-dish doughiness, so a good, greasy, NY-style thin crust is all that I really want when it's pizza time. Â I searched for it, and this one was in the neighborhood and was basically described as having good NY-style thin crust slices.
Honestly, I was a little disappointed because my pizza just wasn't all that greasy. Â I know that sounds crazy... but it was a little thicker than the floppy, soggy grease-coated pizza I had really been craving. Â The toppings were fresh, and tasted like high-quality, but it was all just a little bland. Â
Delivery was very timely, and we definitely devoured the whole thing... but more out of starvation than enjoyment. Â It was fine, but not great... especially if you're looking for an ooey-gooey cheesy greaseball pit in your stomach.
Ordered online from GrubHub when some friends & I were craving Italian. We got salad, spaghetti, baked ziti, garlic bread, and the canolis. The pasta was tasty, but my chef friend stated the noodles were overcooked (still got her mark of approval, though!). The garlic bread was pretty good, and we both agreed that we'd order from here again JUST for the canolis. The delivery time was about average.
Review Source:So they have 3 sizes of calzones at New York Pizzeria: Â Luncheon Size, Dinner Size, and Big As Your Head. Â And they are not kidding. Â It's a calzone that's literally as big as the size of your noggin. Â Cut it in half and you still have two large calzones.
You can choose from a huge variety of meats and veggies to stuff inside your calzone (or top off your pizza). Â My favorite component is the zesty marinara sauce that comes in a generous portion on the side for dipping or pouring on top.
NY Pizzeria also features combo meals for slices, a slice and salad, or pasta and a salad with a drink. Â A great lunch option if you're in the area. Â Or if you'd like to try to eat something as big as your head.
So we just moved into the area and I wanted to try a local non-chain place. I read some reviews and decided to give them a try. I ordered a 20" pizza @ 8:30pm on a Friday nite--not exactly the dinner rush, but I understand that things can get busy. We live less than a mile away and we waited over an hour to have a cold pizza delivered! Â The pizza tasted fine once we warmed it back up, but I couldn't enjoy it because I was mad. Â The driver said they shoot for 40-45 minutes on delivery. Â Bet my pizza would have been good then because it was at least 20-25 minutes cold. Â So much for a first impression--make that first AND LAST impression.
Review Source:It's been a long time, a very long time. Â But after being in New York, we wanted some New York slices so we called in our order for pick up. Â It was just what we were looking for, it so hit the spot. Â No toppings needed, just cheese for us, folded in half, dripping grease, and shoveled in..um ummm!
Review Source:The pizza here is pretty good. Â I will say it's a good deal. Â If you check out the specials on the internet or just ask them over the phone, you get a lot of pizza for the money. Â
I've only ever had pizza delivered, and its been consistently good. Â But unfortunately the pizza does seem a bit soggy. Â I want a piece of pizza where the dough can holdup to the sauce, but by the time it's delivered (and i live 5 mins away at most) the dough has absorbed too much of the sauce. Â Still the pizza has good flavor, it would just be nice if the pizza dough was a bit crisper.
If you like thin crust NY style pizza then it's a solid but not spectacular choice.
Pretty Good- but nothing special.
Is Terry is Pizza snob??
Yes- I think so.
I ordered from New York Pizzeria for the third time last night-so I figured it'd be a good thing to help with some Yelp.
Isn't ALL about the crust- but it is a large factor on the overall impression.
I've tried their traditional Pepperoni and Meatball pizzas in the past as well as their White Pie.
I really wasn't too impressed with their tomato sauce- so White Pie it was.
Overall taste=good but not great. There is still something missing in the NY Style pizza crust I've tried in Denver.
Good blend of White pizza sauce, Garlic and Chicken.
Also had to get their Greek Salad ( pretty big portion for the $$- so don't change that guys!)
I did enjoy the convenience of their online ordering system. you can even use PayPal !!
Will I order from New York Pizzeria again- probably.
Is it the BEST NY Style Pizza in Denver??
I hope not.
Wow, finally, i found NY-style pizza in Denver! Â Been looking for months, and stumbled across this place in a strip mall while driving by. Â Stopped in for a quick slice, and liked it well enough to go back for a whole pie. Â Hubby is super-excited about the stromboli, which are just as hard to find in this town. Â The staff are real friendly, but i might wait until fall to eat in the restaurant (it's really hot in there).
Review Source:Great deal, fast, true new york slices....I went here the other day on my lunch break from work. Â I ordered the 1 slice, side salad and soda all for $4.99. Â Great deal! The pizza is a true new york style thin slice of pizza. Â The salad was a good size. Â They offer a white or pesto slice too. Â Which looked very tasty.
Review Source:This place is rundown but the pizza is great. Â The slices are huge and cheap, and they serve beer and wine. Â The drinks are some of the cheapest in Denver for happy hour (I think 6-9 every day). Â More people should go here!
Plus they have a decent kid's section with toys and movies.
This is a regular pizza place for my husband and I to visit, though recently the food seems to be going down hill.  Still, I find the staff very friendly and the pizza is good.  I do think Basil Doc's is better, but  New York Pizzeria because pricing is more reasonable and you are getting quality pie.
Review Source:I'm not as impressed as I was at the beginning. I'm taking one star from my original review. I still think the pizza is great. Maybe I caught them on a bad day.
I still think it's a good option for NY pizza. And it's great to have the choice of pizza by the slice, use coupons and online ordering.
Pizza is pizza as long as you serve it as such, however, ff you're going to put NEW YORK PIZZERIA on the outside of your store, your advertisements, your boxes, etc. the stuff on the inside better be of quality. Â COME ON...*said in a daygo accent*
The delivery guy comes to the door with the box, I don't know if he was stoned or hungover from the previous night but he mumbled a few things and handed me the food and the wrong receipt and then mumbled. Â Then I say, "Do you have the drink and some peppers and cheese?" Â This guy says to me..."I left it downstairs...ummmm...yeah I'll go get it." Â As if I'm gonna say, "no worries, I paid for it but never mind it's cool, drink it." Â SO then he comes back and tells me the cheese and peppers are in the bag or box and runs downstairs. Â YES you guessed it...no peppers or cheese. Â LOSER! Â I hope he doesn't reproduce.
Now the food. Â pep pizza is pretty salty, there are a few good characteristics, but mostly just a very plain amateur pizza. Â NOWHERE NEAR NY PIZZA (which I've had every visit to the NYC).
the other pizza Staten impostor island or something...old dried basil flakes the size of salt...SAY IT WITH ME AGAIN......COME ON!!!
It doesn't stop there...baked something in a aluminum pan...i could have made this tasteless fake pasta chicken in a can stuff with a rock and a microwave. Â LASTLY, the garlic bread.....THE GARLIC BREAD. Â I bit the styrofoam oil-soaked tofu brick and it stuck to the roof of my mouth like that time when I was getting fitted for braces and that crap they put in your mouth to mold your teeth coated my palette with silicone goo. Â
I'm sorry for this pain-filled walk-through. Â I have nothing against this establishment, if the outside said pizza or something about pizza I would have ventured on, however, if you're going to put NY PIZZERIA on it you better put up the product to support it. Â VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!
Are you joking? I lived in New York for 5 years. This doesn't even come close to the $1 slice. It's super salty and greasy. The service: I asked for cheese and peppers and the delivery guy who forgot our pepsi by the way said it was in the box. Check in the box..no where to be found.
1. Staten island ..had dried basil flakes (are you serious?)
2. pepperoni pizza...more grease and salt than pizza taste
3. baked ziti..super bland with a side of the saddest chicken you've ever seen.
Went to high school near the original location (which was arguably a little better than the new location, though not much has changed) so I sort of "grew up" on this stuff. I'm pretty sure they lost some money on me with their all-you-can-eat lunch specials on Mondays and Tuesdays. What can I say, I was a growing boy.
I no longer live in Denver but always stop in whenever I'm visiting home. The pizza is still great, but I'm probably biased. Their white pizza is some of the best I've had.
I cheated a while back. I'm not proud of it, and frankly it was a less than stellar experience. I have been, for the past five years, unfailing in my loyalty to Basil Doc's Pizza, an unassuming Denver strip-mall joint that serves what I have come to believe is the best pizza in the world. It's New York style, which puts it ahead of the game from the git go, but there's something more, a secret mix of ingredients touted on the Basil Doc's website, that makes it almost orgasmic...or completely orgasmic, depending on who you're with.
I'm not a cheapskate by nature, but on the night in question I had a coupon, approaching its expiration, for a competing nearby pizza place. I could get a 16-inch pie for just $6.99, it boasted. What a deal. And if I was discreet, no one but me and the deliverer of the pizza had to know. I wasn't hurting anyone but myself, right?
While ordering, I realized that this establishment is the one that I had mocked in recent months as "Pizza Yoga." The strip mall where this one is located -is anything not located in a strip mall anymore?- has several larger businesses, while the smaller ones have to share a line on the sign. So amidst dry cleaner, futons, karaoke, Family Dollar, and others, pizza is on the same line as yoga, with just a small space separating them. While I would probably never try yoga unless pizza was involved, "Pizza Yoga" seemed like the oddest health fad since the National Enquirer pushed the famed Orson Welles Doughnut Diet back in the mid-seventies.
Turns out "Pizza Yoga" is actually The New York Pizzeria, a hole-in-the-wall that hopefully spent more time developing its recipe, than it did working on a catchy name. The deliveryman pulled up, I paid my bargain price, plus tip, and the harried fellow didn't bother to ask for my coupon. All seemed good. Yes, I was about to consummate my cheating, but within moments a new, unfamiliar, perversely exciting slice of New York mozzarella, tomato sauce, mushrooms, pepperoni, and sausage would be violating my insides, so self-control was curdling on the unlit back burner.
And then I saw it. The large white pizza box, emblazoned with a huge, bright American flag, and bold lettering that stated, God Bless America. Had I not been so stunned, I would have sent this disgusting package of religious huckstering mixed with hollow patriotic posturing back and demanded a refund. Instead, I was about to find out what christian republican New York pizza tasted like.
So how did it taste? In the immortal words of Emily Dickinson, "like shit." Â Honestly, I realized I may have been turned off by the right wing-nut dickhead propaganda besmirching the box, but I'd been in a pizza mood all day, and was ready for a great one, even if it had been personally blessed by Pat Robertson. Perhaps the message was a portent. Was the God Bless America box supposed to warn me that the pizza within tasted like the aftermath of 9-11?
And if not that, what? What does placing such a message on a box of toxic pizza actually accomplish? Does it keep us safer? I don't talk to God, but if I did, and I asked him to please keep our country and all of its residents secure, would he retort, "Only if you put my name in big letters on every pizza box in the country!"
After cleansing my palate with a Rolaids, I decided to find out more about New York Pizzeria. I went to several of those city search sites, and read several customer reviews of the place. In general, they were unenthusiastic. One rare five-star review began, "I'm from the mid-west, and I don't know about New York, but I know good pizza when I eat it." Hmmm. Well, I'm from Colorado, not exactly a hotbed of Italian culture, but I know that the phrases "from the mid-west," and "know good pizza" are as synonymous as professional wrestling and a Noel Coward drawing room comedy.
So now you know that New York Pizzeria a.k.a. Pizza Yoga a.k.a. GOP (Grisly Objectionable Pizza) is doing its part to stop the spread of terrorism, and also working hard to increase the spread of horrible Italian food. You also know that I'm a cheater. Forgive me, Basil Doc's, I shall not stray again.
I enjoy a White Pizza now & then. Tonight's carryout (ok, the NYer in me wants to say "takeout") pie was a white with artichokes & spinach on 1/2. My gold standard for a white pizza is from Nicky's in White Plains, NY:
<a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/nickys-pizzeria-and-restaurant-white-plains">http://www.yelp.com/biz/…</a>. NY Pizza comes close, only exceeded by the Shrimp Scampi white at Anthony's on E Dartmouth.
Easygoing staff, causal eat-in. There's a kids area to keep the critters occupied, plus new flat screens with sports on view.
If you are waiting, there's a number of other shops in the strip to keep you occupied.
When I look back at my fond memories of this semi-hole-in-the-wall pizzeria, I begin to tear up and scream to the heavens, WHY DID YOU MAKE ME LACTOSE INTOLERANT! Â If there is one place in town to even consider risking losing your bowel control over, this is the place. Â Good pizza begins with a good crust. Â I like my crust semi-thin, crunchy on the outside, with a bit of breadiness inside --- and these folks do it right. Â Step two is get a good sauce, and again they deliver. Â For those of you that like to get out of the box, give their pesto sauce a try. Â Topings are your typical run of the mill...nothing fancy, but good enough to do the trick. Â Of course, the whole point of pizza is to be a vehicle for cheese and unfortunately, I have not found a way to eat dairy without severe gastrointestinal explosiveness. Â But for those of you that can properly digest those dairy products, happy eating!
Review Source:Went there hoping for a real New York quality pizza, but it wasn't even close. Terrible, one of the worst I've had in Denver, not to mention New York where I lived for many years. Granted, every pizzeria can have a bad day, but when the pizza is THAT bad, and the reviews are THAT good, something is amiss. Don't believe the hype, this is not what New York pizza tastes like.
Review Source:Previous review is right. Â This is the best tasting NY style pie I've found in Denver. Â They moved to a new location a few months ago and their space is bigger now. Â It even has an area for kids to play, complete with blocks, dvd player, other drooling kids. Â Â But the most appreciated change is that they serve beer now! Â (and maybe wine?)
The food, friendly staff and ultra casual atmosphere make this a great place to point your flip flops when you need some comfort food and a cold one.
