Before heading to NY this past weekend, my sister was raving about this new pizza place she had discovered. She insisted we go when I arrived, and so we did! Two Boots is a funny name for a pizza place. As I read the menu, I couldn't help but notice how "New Orleans" some of the pizzas were. Then I realized this was a Cajun style pizza place in Brooklyn. Whaaaaaaat?? What an interesting combination! The Bayou Beast (Crawfish, shrimp, andouille, jalapeno and mozzarella) pizza was very tempting, but I felt I should pick something more tame for my first visit. I decided to go with a small Mr. Pink (Creole chicken, plum tomatoes, garlic and mozzarella) pizza. My sis got four slices of cheese for my nieces, and she got a small vegan pizza.
Meanwhile, we claimed a table, and I got to look around the place. They had several pizzas (if they didn't run out) on display, and there were several sheets of paper with crayons so kids could color. There was some art on the walls, and a creepy Donnie Darko poster near the back... very creepy.
The individual slices came out first, as expected... but only three were brought out. When asked about it, they asked as if the order had never been placed. But I watched the cashier put the entire order in on the screen, so it was definitely there. Not a deal breaker, but hopefully that is not a regular thing. On top of that messing slice, the other pizzas took quite a while... but it was a Friday night, so I am not all that surprised. When they came out, they were PIPING HOT!!! And the taste?...
BRUH! That is some bomb pizza! I absolutely loved the crust and the flavors. I couldn't even finish the small pizza in one sitting, so that was perfect. It doesn't beat the $1 slices at corner shops, but it has made its mark on the streets of New York. It breaks my heart that one almost opened in DC, but plans have been postponed or canceled. Hopefully they pick that back up soon.
