| - So let's talk New York style pizza. I grew up in Jersey, so I can't help shaking my head at places like NYPD for calling their pizza "New York style". Having grown up on the *real* stuff, I can tell you that NYPD is closer than others (say, for instance, Dominos), but not there yet.
Truth be told, I've yet to find a good New York style pizza anywhere outside of the east coast, so NYPD's effort should not be entirely dismissed. (The closest equivalent I've found in AZ to date is Venezia's Pizzeria.)
But back to NYPD. They get two stars for their pizza, a third star for a really delicious calzone (made the right way with real, quality ricotta), and they get that extra fourth star for service. Every time I've been, service has been on point.
At the end of the day, I've learned that to hunt down New York style pizza in the southwest might well be a fruitless effort. But what I do still hope to be able to find in a restaurant (regardless of type) is good service. And NYPD has always delivered.
If you haven't been, NYPD is a neat place to dine in and also an easy option for ordering out. I'd still recommend them, and I still intend to eat here on occasion, too.
