| - We were driving around looking for a place to have a late dinner Saturday night. We decided to go to NYPD Pizza, but didn't realize they closed at 10pm (figured they were open until 11pm). We got there at about 9:40pm, and were promptly seated. The place was practically empty, two tables looked like they were just finishing. However, our server, Dominic, never made us feel rushed at all.
We ordered 2 ice teas, which he brought over quickly. We ordered some garlic knots, which were delicious! They could've had a bit more garlicky-ness, but even so, they were really good.
I ordered the lasagna, which came in a baking dish, oozing with sauce and melted cheese. It was amazing! The portion didn't look too big, but it was incredibly filling. The big chunks of sausage/meatballs really made it for me. I like lotsa meat, and this satisfied in every way. Plus, the cheese was gooey and...yummy!!!
Hubby went with the 14" pizza, just cheese. When it was brought to the table, Dominic asked if it was too burnt. It was a bit charred in the middle of the top, but not on the bottom. He actually asked if my hubby wanted another pizza made. But, he likes it that way. And, said it didn't taste charred at all. He loved it, and ate a little more than half (took the rest home).
My hubby's also a sucker for a good cheesecake, so since he was so stuffed, ordered a caramel sauced one to go.
I have to add, we do like to eat late, and lots of times we're the last ones in a restaurant. Most of the time, we're getting the evil-eye, while the staff start cleaning up around us. But, here, we never felt like we were bothering anyone. Our waiter was on point with refills and making sure everything was alright. And, no one was sweeping up next to our table, making us feel like we were in the way. This is the way to treat people, and next time, we'll make sure to get there a little earlier. And, I must say...there will be a next time!
