| - Ask anyone from downstate New York what one of their pet peeves are with respect to pizza, and they will tell you any place outside of New York that has the audacity to claim to serve New York style pizza--and then fails to live up to that expectation. Well, Streets of New York is one of those places. Born and raised in New York, and happened to live in Italy for several years, so, my family takes our pizza seriously.
We decided to take a chance and order a pie from Streets of New York, hoping that an establishment which is boasting cuisine from our home state would live up to its name. The pizza arrived in under 30 minutes, which was about the only positive. We ordered an 18" pie, and when we opened the box, it was a bit on the smallish side. The actual slices were so skinny. If you have ever had the opportunity to eat pizza from an authentic New York pizzeria, you would most definitely have felt cheated by this 'knock-off'. The crust was rubbery and a little thicker than New York pizza, the sauce was overly spiced, and the cheese was extremely salty for mozzarella. Unfortunately, what we received was a pizza that looked like it came from one of those franchise establishments that runs ads on television, or from the frozen section of a grocery store. It was a misrepresentation of pizza that would come from the real streets of New York.
Needless to say, this New York family will not be ordering from Streets of New York again.
