The name of Hawthorne's suits it well! The pizza certainly does taste like its straight from NY! We have ordered from here numerous times, but have never gone in to sit down and eat. But we have always been pleasantly surprised with the ordering out. It can tend to be a bit pricy for what you get which is the only reason I rated it as 4 stars instead of 5. We also ordered meals one time and being from NY you are used to spending about 15$ on a pasta meal but they usually come with a decent amount of bread and salad which it does not come with at Hawthornes. And the serving size of the pasta dishes was VERY small. We ordered 4 entrees and it was barely enough to feed 4 of us which was disappointing, but the food itself was really good. I will definitely continue ordering pizza from Hawthornes and would like to come in and dine in soon to see if its any different than ordering entrees out. Overall, really good experiences and really enjoy the food!
