I went to a pizza party here over the weekend. The DJ was playing some good rap music. I enjoyed myself and had a couple drinks. They did a great job on the renovation of the building.
My Dad grew up in Queens and Long Island. I was born in New Jersey. My confirmation name is Umberto because of Umberto's Pizza in New Hyde Park, NY. I visit family out east many times throughout the year. I bring back Regular, Sicilian and Grandma pies and freeze them. I then reheat and eat when i come home drunk. I will still bring back Umberto's on future trips. I don't need to bring back as much.
I like Neapolitan pizza more than the regular stuff found around Cleveland. I think that once pizza was brought over from Italy it was improved upon in NYC. I would prefer a good NY slice of regular over Neapolitan. The crust and cheese were excellent. The pizza reminded me of Sam's in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn which is an outstanding place.
I like the hillbilly pizza at Angelo's on rare occassion. I have no reason to eat pizza anywhere else in Cleveland now. In my opinion it is better than Vincenza's or Marotta's.
WIsh my old man was still around to see that Cleveland finally got a decent pizza place. I will eat more in his honor.
