It turns out the Anderson Community did not steer us wrong, New York Pizza & Pasta was absolutely and completely delicious. I wish there were a better word to describe it than delicious. We have tried many pizza places in and around Anderson and the South like Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, Cici's, Little Ceasars, Wedgy's, and other hole in the wall family-owned locations. New York Pizza completely blew every where else out of the water. We unanimously agreed on that, which is a rarity.
If you like the freshest of the fresh ingredients, none of that fake stuff, and like your pizza to taste like heaven in your mouth instead of cardboard, then you must try their pizza!
Their Civic Center Blvd. location has seating for many guests including booths and tables. It also features three flat screen televisions hung high on the walls for your viewing pleasure. Although they didn't have a buffet the night we were there, we do know they feature an all you can eat buffet on Tuesday evening for $7.99. Everyday they offer a lunch buffet for the same price. I look forward to giving the buffet a try so I have an opportunity to taste more than just their pizza and garlic knots.
Speaking of, we ordered their garlic knots as an appetizer while waiting for our pizza to cook (which was not long, they're quick in that kitchen!). They were so tasty! If you like your knots to be doughy and filled with garlic flavor then you'll love these. I must also mention they had plenty of 'spices' on the table for you to add to anything you order (I took advantage and put them on my garlic knots) like; garlic powder, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and parmesan cheese. Yum!On our pizza we ordered mushrooms and fresh garlic. Don't worry, we brought gum to chew on after! When the pizza was delivered to our table it was piping hot and the cheese was oozing all over it, just the way we like it! I must point out that their tomato sauce is not pasty or 'boring' like those of chain pizza restaurants. It has fresh tomatoes in it and is full of flavor. When you ask for toppings, they give you toppings! The pizza was covered in mushrooms, every inch of it and there was enough garlic to kill any vampire (sorry Twilight fans).
We ate as much as we possibly could until our stomachs couldnt handle anymore. That may be the first time I wished my stomach was bigger. ha-ha! We got the rest of our pizza to go for leftovers the next day for lunch.
We have a secret to tell. We liked the pizza SO much that we ordered another pizza a few nights later from their other location by Bloom on hwy 81. I know what you're thinking, we're fatties, which would be an incorrect assumption, at least it would have been until now, now that we've discovered New York Pizza.The prices are right and comparable to any other pizza place around town. Aside from pizza, they have pastas, calzones, strombolis, salads, and even Italian Nachos (huh?)!
Yes they deliver but are particular about where to, you must call and tell them your address and they let you know if they can deliver there. This is a bummer to those of you who they won't deliver to and may be the only down side to their restaurant. However, you can always go dine-in or pick it up yourself. Wait, what? Get up from watching 'Cops' and pick it up? Yep, you can do it, we have faith in you!
As a side note, the second most favored restaurant in Anderson that serves Pizza was 'Summa Joes'... we plan to visit them in the next month and find out for ourselves. As for now, New York Pizza is Numero Uno!
