Going to Pendeli's for the first time was a total fluke...my boyfriend and I were hungry, the fridge was empty and we were not in the mood to go to the grocery store and cook something ourselves so we set out to find a restaurant.
Without even knowing what we felt like eating, we drove around NDG. My Yelp app told me about this pizzeria, and suddenly, pizza was the only thing on our minds. We quickly drove there and once we stepped in, we knew...this was going to be epic.
You can generally tell the quality of a pizzeria based on their pizza cooking technique (conveyor belt oven vs actual pizza oven) My boyfriend was happy to see an authentic pizza oven! Then we watched their assembly of the pizzas...HOLY PEPPERONI BATMAN!!!
Instead of slicing down to form circles, the pepperoni is cut lengthways to create long strips of awesomeness! And the bacon! OMG the BACON...actual strips of bacon instead of rolled up pieces of chewy nastiness that occurs on most of the pizzas around...
The ingredients are super fresh...we always get the Pendeli's special without anchovies or olives/vegetarian without olives.
The only way they could make their pizza better is by making chicken a topping choice...(we would add it to the veggie)
We tried the fries and the sub one time...both don't live up to their pizza.
PIZZA PIZZA PIZZA...
So good...
