NY Pizza but with a NY attitude
Visited Marietta last month to meet a Granddaughter for the first time. She was all of two weeks old.
We would normally have taken her and her Parents and her two older Brothers out for lunch but too chaotic and not the right time to do that.
We had ordered a cake through our local Publix in Cornelius, NC to pick up at the one of Sandy Plains Rd in Marietta and that turned out to be a disaster because what we picked up, did not resemble what we ordered at all.
Next part of the trip was picking up lunch and we wanted that to be a fresh and hot as possible so I picked a Pizza Parlor within 5 minutes of their house with good reviews and that was Labella's
Ordered two large pizza's, one just pepperoni and one all the way as well as garlic knots from them as we pulled into the Publix parking lot
There is a stereotype of someone from The Bronx or Brooklyn sort of like an Archie Bunker only not a refined.
That is what I got on the phone and it was gruff enough that I almost said I'll find someplace else.
First connection was not great and second one was not much better. Was told it would be about 30 minutes for the pizza's which I could understand if they were being delivered but I was picking them up, should have been less. In my younger days, I was a driver for Domino's up in PA and I know how long it takes.
Drove up to pick up the pizza's and they were ready in about 25 minutes which is reasonable.
Came time to leave and when the owner found out that they were for a local customer who might become a repeat customer showered my with coupons, incentives etc.
I did give them to my son with a here you are and if you want to go back, it's up to you comment.
The Pizza's were good. The Pepperoni was outstanding and the all the way, a bit greasy. My some did fall in love with the garlic knots however.
Not sure we'll be back but will leave that up to Brian my son in Atlanta.
If he wants more, we will get more from here or if he has his own favorite, may be from there. They are the local experts and will leave it up to them.
