After seeing so many review videos on social media and a video from the owner herself, we decided to try Enrico’s to see if it lives up to the hype. Little did we know, they were featured on the news Friday, so it was crazy busy for a Sunday.
We ordered at 1:30 and they were out of pizza dough and meatballs. No big deal, we were there for pastrami and they still had some slices. After waiting for our food for a bit, they announced that they didn’t have the man power to continue operating and that they would refund those who hadn’t gotten their food yet. Disappointing, but I’m glad to see a local business greeting support rather than crappy chains. Some people are probably going to leave bad reviews about this, but don’t listen to them. They took care of everyone and gave them their remaining slices and desserts for FREE!
Every single employee was super kind and friendly. We even still got our pastrami sandwich despite them being so overwhelmed. I spent many years in the restaurant industry, and they do it right. I fully expect to see more locations pop up.
As far as the food goes, the pizza was very good and I’m typically not a fan of the NY style thin crust. It wasn’t burnt which I like. The Stromboli was delicious and garlicky. The show stopper is the pastrami though. The Enrico is huge and can feed 2. You go to a place like Jersey Mike’s and the sandwich is $15 and not that big. For $20 and a lb of pastrami, you can’t beat it. The pastrami is delicious, it has the perfect ratio of seasoning, meat and fat to make it juicy and flavorful, but not greasy. There was also not any gristle, so the quality is great. The rye was crunchy and buttery, but not greasy. I don’t like plan yellow mustard, the spicy mustard was perfect. There want an overwhelming amount and the flavor was a great compliment. If you’re not a spice fine, it’ll be fine for you, I personally would have liked it with a little more kick.
We’ll be back to try the breakfast and we’ll bring friends!
