| - My first experience with Aiello's was with the back of their restaurant ordering pizza. It was pretty memorable because I had a chance to chat with Joe Aiello. He was warm and friendly, and he was very proud of his food. That put me in a great mood, and allowed me to feel great about my purchase. With giant pizza en tow, I went home to commence the nomming. The pie was topped off with veggies and Joe's meatballs, and tasted delicious. Again, their pizza is huge, NY style to it's core. It's definitely the kind of pizza that you fold when you eat it...it's really the only way to avoid a mess. Keep that in mind.
The second experience I had was during lunch. This time I got to meet Myrah Aiello. She was warm and sweet, and she was very hospitable. Because I had the meatballs on the pie before, I had to try their meatball parmigiana sandwich (which they only serve at lunch). While I waited, I got to nibble on some great bread and chili oil; it's a must if you go there. Shortly after I finished most of the chilis, the server came out with two fist-size meatball in a delicious looking roll. I'm talking "Over the Top" trucker fist-size meatballs, just huge! Huge and mighty tasty! They were cooked perfectly, and the marinara paired perfectly with it. I was only able to eat half.
With a couple of great owners and good food, this place should be a no-brainer to anyone looking for a moderately-priced Italian meal. The next thing I want to try is their Salumeria on 7th!
