| - When I think of Lorenzo's Pizza, my first thought is automatically The Van B boys episode on Seinfeld. I've passed by this place countless numbers of times when I lived in Ballantyne but never thought of anything about it. When one of my friends who is from NY told me good things about it, I knew I had to make a special trip there to see what it's all about. I stopped by this afternoon around noon and the place was bumping! Noon in Ballantyne usually doesn't equate to bumping in my book but once I saw that many people there, I knew I made a good decision. They sell their pizza by the slice along with whole pies and had a wide variety of toppings for the slices like sausage, pepperoni, spinach with a white sauce and Sicilian! It's been years since I've enjoyed Sicilian pizza and didn't anything too heavy but bookmarked it for future eats. I got a slice of pepperoni and it was absolutely fantastic. The sauce woke up my taste buds, the grease sank into my mouth and it was gone in less than three minutes (folded up of course).
They have a huge menu with standard Italian fare like calzones, homemade rolls, pasta, chicken entrees and a nice selection of desserts like cannolis, black and white cookies and Italian cookie baskets. They offer lunch specials Mon-Thurs too which looked like a good deal for under $7. Employees were super friendly and it felt like it was a neighborhood joint where they would remember you. Even though I live near Uptown, I will definitely be making another trip to Lorenzo's to try their other items. The question is though-To Sicilian or not Sicilian? I say it's going to be to!
