| - While I kind of liked the pre-renovation homier feel, the updates to the restaurant are nice. The interior is more modern, and the menu has been expanded. They still have the same good thin NY style pizza, as well as my personal favorites: EGGPLANT ROLL and EGGPLANT PARM HERO. If you don't think you like eggplant, give one of these a try. Even my hard core carnivore friends are hooked. The eggplant is very thinly sliced, breaded and fried, so you get none of the eggplant questionable texture in these dishes.
I don't know if the recipe has changed, or merely my perception, but I found the eggplant roll recently was lighter and poufier than previous versions. Thin slices of fried eggplant, mozzarella and a bit of sauce wrapped in a poufy delicious crust = delicious.
Eggplant parm hero contains the same ingredients but in sandwich form. The bread is lightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I add grilled onions for another level of tastiness. Both of these dishes are very filling; I can't eat the whole dish in one sitting.
Pizza, Rolls, Heros ... all of these are great taken to-go as they reheat well (and possibly better than fresh). Parking in front of the restaurant requires feeding the meter (although I've never been ticketed when I didn't), but there is plenty of free parking behind the restaurant.
