I came here as a promise to a waitress that worked here at the time. She came into my work place for help. We started talking and she told me if I was homesick for real authentic NY Pizza come to Gianni's Pizza Kitchen upstairs.
After work I asked the bartender about getting pizza. I was directed thru a entryway and I climbed the stairs. It was a rustic brick exposed well. At the top was a continuation of the rustic exposed brick charm. There was Emilee the smiling and happy waitress that invited me. She was thrilled I showed up.
Emilee introduced me to Gianni, he was such a nice guy. He brought all the best from his native N.Y. He was friendly, easy to talk to, gracious and funny. Gianni and his staff made me feel like I was back in N.Y. just hanging out.
I haven't got to the reason for my visit, the pizza. That's because I wanted to relive the experience of every bite. OMGosh, it was "fantasmagoric (my word for so damn good)". I had the chicken pizza, he puts the chicken from his chicken parmesan on the pizza. Yes and yes! A half and half, which is now know as an Arnold Palmer. Was so refreshing good and perfect. I had no complaints. My go to for real pizza.
Gastronomic experience at it's best.
