I found an authentic NY slice in the middle of downtown Austin, TX!
I visited on a Sunday afternoon after seeing this restaurant featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Drives. The young female cashier came off not friendly at all- more cocky and indifferent and definitely no smiles. I ordered a slice of pepperoni, a slice of Margherita, and an order of garlic knots- all to-go.
The pizza slices were not at all the size of what you'd get in NY, but not a bust. The slices were super flavorful- the pepperoni was nice, crispy and salty like I remembered having back in NY. Even the cheese blend was just right. I enjoyed the freshness of the tomatoes and basil on my Margarita slice. The crust was perfectly light and crispy and chewy. Pizza sauce was bland.
The garlic knots were perfect in size... but for some unknown reason, the were put in the bag LOOSE. Fours knots, covered in garlic and butter, loose at the bottom of a PAPER bag. They were not wrapped in foil at the very least, or even a put in a small box. What do you think this lack of wrapping did to the bag they came in? Check the pictures. Half the garlic along with big spots of oil or butter covered the bottom. I feel like this was a total waste of my money even though they tasted alright. This was definitely a poor decision.
Overall, the pizza was just: good. Order the garlic knots "with wrapping" (because apparently you need to?) Work on that customer service guys.
