Psychotic Owner - spend your money elsewhere

by MapleleafNeighbor

We've been in the neighborhood for 9 years and recently started going to A NY Pizza place out of convenience even though the food isnt the greatest - but we'll never go back after we met the owner tonight. He got every single thing on our order wrong and acted like we were an inconvenience when we asked him to bring us the correct order - he never once apologized even when he forgot to place our pizza order and we had been waiting almost an hour, or when he overcharged us for our order. The clincher came when he told me i didn't tip enough and that i should just take my tip back (i had tipped 12% which was generous given the extremely poor service. )He also made a statement about not making enough money for all of this "sh*t" before going on about how different things are going to look soon (what?). I said don't care what he makes - and expect to be treated with respect at a minimum regardless. Personally i don't make enough to take my family out to dinner and be treated like that. I feel a little bad - maybe he is bi-polar or severely depressed, but his behavior was outrageous to say the least - all that and the food isn't more than mediocre. You're better off spending $50 at Pizza Hut....

• Pros: local joint
• Cons: hostile service, mediocre food at best

Real NY Style Pizza

by gonzogirl

I moved here from Brooklyn. It took me 2 months to find a decent slice and NYPP is the real thing! All the downtown places advertising NY pizza are in complete denial. Before anyone pitches a fit about this place or that place- I've tried them. I had 10 different pizzas from 10 different places before finding what I wanted. And as a new yorker I guarantee that this is as close to NY pizza as you can get 3500 miles to the west. The slices are huge- and served by the slice- just like they are back home. Calzones are also quite nice but when I drive up I'm there for the pizza.

Go try some real NY style pizza.

• Pros: best pizza in seattle
• Cons: street parking

Hands down the best..

by mrandmrs_horn

I have two vices in my life...pasta and pizza. And finding good pizza is a hard thing to do. I have lived in the area now for almost 9 years. And one day, coming home from the U district, we drove my this hole in the wall with bright red signs talking about NY pizza. My family is from New York and its hard to come by around these parts. After driving by a few times, we finally went in. For two pints of beer and a "Godfather", it was money well spent. We took my dad and uncle who had flown in from the East coast and they loved it. We've recommended it to my husbands best friend, and he called with a slice in his mouth and said we were right. You cannot and should not drive by without going in for a slice or even your own pie. You will be happy you did.

• Pros: great energy
• Cons: get there before 6pm or you won't find seating or parking
