Tel-Aviv Kosher Pizza

Before checking out Tel-Aviv, I read most of their reviews.  The details found therein are almost all correct and came to pass as you sit and dine.  It's mainly vegetarian but with the inclusion of eggs & some fishes that Jewish people eat.  Everything is Kosher, dude.  No really, it is Kosher.   Their signage indicates pizza but I wouldn't say that's their biggest draw.  The offerings are either cheese or with veggies.  $2.25 for cheese or $2.95 for veg slices.  The taste: Slices with a pastry crust and easy sauce.  Suits the style with a clean taste which isn't heavy.  It's mainly ordered by passers-by (because they offer slices) and Mom's ordering a quick pie for their hungry family after school.  They also offer pizza puffs in veggie or cheese.  

Alike one reviewer commented, I've often seen a Rabbi sitting in the corner booth switching from English to Hebrew from conversation to conversation.  Hebrew when business is being discussed.  Many of the diners know each other or pass regards as they come and go.  The place hosts neighborhood folk and transients alike.

It's food when you need a meal.  If I was eating with someone that had strict dietary restrictions I might bring them here.  Kind of looks like a dated Jewish delicatessen.  Except there aren't any deli meats.

This review is based on an experience from over a year ago so this place may have improved so it may be worth a trip if you're in the area.

Had gone here with a friend who keeps kosher to share a pizza. I vaguely remember the restaurant kinda creeping me out since it was so bare rather than your typical restaurant.

On the flip side, the pizza was very good. Thin crust, veggie pizza. It was a while ago but not much different than your typical pizza joint except that it has no meat options which is fine by me.

I'm thinking though, I'd probably order pizza "to go" from them if I lived in the neighborhood.

My review is based only on my take out experience; We had some Israeli friends over, and having had no previous experience accommodating kosher guests, I was in the brink of driving myself crazy. Tel-Aviv came to the rescue with a reasonably priced, yet, very generous and tasty kosher food. Our guest said they enjoyed the eggplant with marinara (cheese-less) and loved the baked Tilapia. I ordered the large humus and falafel platter and even got to try it myself - very good indeed. Friendly service and quite large portions.
