The Scene
From the Yankees posters on every vertical surface to the free Red Vines on the counter, this friendly little joint feels like home to every transplanted New Yorker. Early diners will encounter multigenerational families or sports teams stretched along the tables; later on, it fills up with the after-work crowd enjoying slices, beer and loud conversation.
The Food
No newfangled toppings here, but there's still plenty to choose from to create the perfect pie. The simple cheese may be the best, with a thin, crisp crust supporting a simple tomato sauce and plenty of dripping cheese. The house salad is a joy--piled with kalamata olives, toasted garlic and fresh veggies, it's large enough to be a complete meal for one. Sandwiches are impossibly messy, while bland pasta dishes are best passed over in favor of the pies.

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.

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.

My wife & I moved from metro NYC 30+ years ago. We had found A New York Pizza Place when the original owners opened in downtown Seattle which quenched our need for great pizza. We lost track of the best pizzas in the Northwest, maybe east of the Delaware River, when the original place closed! We found it again several years ago, thanks to a review in the Seattle Times and we returned as customers. We travel 60 miles roundtrip for one of their pizzas about once or twice a month (carbs keep us from more often trips). Doug and his entire wait-staff are friendly, attentive and efficient. My wife & her sister share the house salad since neither could finish it alone (in addition to pizza). We always order the largest pizza usually half cheese & half pepperoni. CON: No iced tea.

Got a picky eater in the family? It's as easy to order a custom-made slice as it is a whole pizza. Whole-wheat crust is also available.
