Pueblan-run pizzeria with stuffed-crust pies, tlacoyos, and tacos
"This delightful Sunset Park pizzeria has been taken over by Pueblans, who have mounted a griddle in the window — actually, sticking out of the window — where tlaycoyos are grilled and then topped with queso seco and salsa. The conventional pizza slices are fine, too, especially an unusual stuffed-crust pie." - Robert Sietsema
"The raw-shrimp aguachile was the standout: a copious, bright-green broth packed with fresh chiles and herbs and unapologetically lime-forward; it’s served with plenty of tostadas, but you’ll likely end up sipping the excess straight from the molcajete." - Robert Sietsema
"Sunset Park’s friendly neighborhood pizza joint is run by Pueblans, who dish up old-school slices along with stuffed-crust pies filled with sausage and potatoes. Call (718) 435-2288 seven days a week for pickup or delivery within a limited range. [Order]" - Diana Hubbell
"After creating the bodega taquería, Poblanos moved into pizzerias, especially in Sunset Park and Western Queens. Like the Italians and Albanians before them, they discovered that pizzerias are perfect family businesses. Some eventually added tacos to their menus, or created fusion pies with Mexican elements. But Xochil Pizzeria — means “flower” in Náhuatl, a first language for some southern Poblano immigrants — chose to create an idiosyncratic collection of antojitos, including ones that could be made in the pizza ovens. Included were the crumbly cookies called polvorones, and tlacoyos topped with red or green salsa and grated cheese — resembling a slice of pizza, but perhaps only coincidentally." - Robert Sietsema
