356078 Mon Jan 01 19:53:12 -0800 2007 21 5 Texas 0 2143636 Ok, so we moved here three weeks ago from Atlanta, and we are having a heack of a time finding really good pizza. We are looking for a REAL new York pizza complete with the Grande cheese. We live in the "mid-cities" area, but will drive for good pizza. Thanks in advance. Mon Jan 01 19:53:12 -0800 2007 62812 chickstein 1 2143989 Chickstein, have you tried the NYPD (New York Pizza & Deli) on Industrial Blvd in Euless? Here's their website: http://www.nypddeli.com/index.html Their menu is there. I haven't had their pizza yet, but it looked good when I was in there. I had a sub, which was very good and the counterperson was extremely friendly. Other than that, I've resorted to making my own, because I've struggled to find real NorthEast pizza here. Not that the pizza here is all bad...it's just different than what I'm used to. Mon Jan 01 22:23:21 -0800 2007 2143636 17481 QueenB 1 2144269 There's always Sals. It's a good standby NY pizza. Large slices that you fold in your hand. Have to eat it there though as it doesn't make the drive home very well. Plus depending on pizza/dough maker in the back the consistency of the dough seems to vary at times from excellent to just ok. The original is on Wycliff Ave in Dallas. Tue Jan 02 00:43:38 -0800 2007 2143636 49300 dl72 2 2235042 Sal's is NOT good. I'm always surprised when people recommend this place for NY Style pizza. I wonder how many of these people have actually ever had pizza in NY? TT Sun Jan 28 08:24:20 -0800 2007 2144269 19247 TexasToast 3 2251955 Yes, I am always intrigued by people who recommend Sal's, and there seem to be a lot of them. I just had pizza in New York over Christmas, and it was an awesome experience- Rosario's and Grimaldi's....still thinking about those slices. Back to Sal's- I work at a place where they used to order pizza from Sal's every month for a group of 40-50 people. The general consensus was that Sal's is BAD PIZZA. Often burnt, with horrible toppings. So bad, that last month, we started ordering from Domino's, and everyone was so relieved to have not bad pizza. Is there some secret handshake to get good pizza at Sal's? Thu Feb 01 21:04:03 -0800 2007 2235042 58707 missmaggie 4 2252922 In Sal's defense, they used to serve a decent pie but that was a long time ago. Fri Feb 02 08:29:47 -0800 2007 2251955 13609 Scagnetti 1 2144504 I don't know if you would consider this real NY pizza but Nizza Pizza has some pretty good and cheap pizza. There are several locations in Arlington. The owners are from NYC. Tue Jan 02 02:59:37 -0800 2007 2143636 52988 BellaDonna 1 2146325 I'll put my vote in for Joe's Pizza in Plano, at Parker and the Tollway. You must order the "Giant" size to get the best cheese/sauce ratio. Tue Jan 02 21:48:10 -0800 2007 2143636 27465 Raynickben 1 2147344 I'd recommend Pastazio's in either Addison or in Uptown. In my opinion, their pizza is the next best thing to being in NYC. Wed Jan 03 03:12:44 -0800 2007 2143636 63718 BJD1r 1 2151882 Coal Vines is the truest New York style pizza i've had in dallas. the owner is from new york and goes specifically for the coal-oven aesthetic. pastazio's isn't bad, tho the crust is a little too kinda "crunchy" coal vines link: http://www.guidelive.com/portal/page?_pageid=33,97400&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL&item_id=45458 Thu Jan 04 13:57:10 -0800 2007 2143636 15663 teegee 2 2235043 Coal Vines over Sal's any day! TT Sun Jan 28 08:24:55 -0800 2007 2151882 19247 TexasToast 1 2151962 I agree, Teegee. Coal Vines' crust is the closest thing to New York style that I've had in a long time. I've only had their lox pizza (at brunch), though, so I can't vouch for their "traditional" New York toppings. Thu Jan 04 14:29:11 -0800 2007 2143636 10024 Kirk 1 2152253 I also agree that Coal Vines is probably the closest NY Style. Had a traditional pepperoni and it was very tasty. Most toppings imported from Italy, and crust (dough) sourced from a pizzeria in New York. Can get very crowded on weekends, but stays open very late on Fri-Sat. They are opening another one in Southlake which will be much closer to you than the current Cedar Springs location. Thu Jan 04 15:55:36 -0800 2007 2143636 23825 munchie1 1 2217970 I'm from the upper west side, and Joe's in Westlake by the Marriott is about the best I've had outside NYC. Bit hard to find. But very good. Don't get it confused with the Joe's in Southlake though.. Tue Jan 23 10:51:50 -0800 2007 2143636 45907 dinobob 1 2218597 Another nod for Coal Vines very good pizza + excellent value. Tue Jan 23 13:03:42 -0800 2007 2143636 20622 bigballoon 1 2220076 Try Joe's Pizza, Pasta, and Subs-locations in the mid-cities...these are all NY Italian guys who are either in the Witness Protection program, or have discovered the fact that there are no good pizza joints in the mid-cities! Tue Jan 23 20:05:01 -0800 2007 2143636 68715 piggygirl 2 2228064 If it's the same Joe's as in Plano, Dallas, Frisco etc, they are from New York but actually not Italian, they are Albanian. I believe the entire chain is owned by cousins etc. all related. I would agree that their food is quite good. We go to Fat Joes in Plano on a regular basis. Thu Jan 25 20:02:13 -0800 2007 2220076 23935 irodguy 1 2233493 FWIW, I just moved here from NYC and CoalVines is the closest I've had... Nice atmosphere (we had an early dinner before the crowds hit) and a good value for the money. Sat Jan 27 13:10:05 -0800 2007 2143636 62876 toejam 1 2236252 Coal Vines is too "upscale" for a pizza place in my opinion. Sun Jan 28 16:46:04 -0800 2007 2143636 52988 BellaDonna 1 2236568 Yep no question Sal's is nothing special. Sun Jan 28 18:38:59 -0800 2007 2143636 23935 irodguy 1 2244150 Hey-- how close are you to arlington? Try The New Yorker on collins, just barely south of I-30 (across from lincoln square). My grandparents introduced me to it-- they're from New York. Of course, I've never been to new york, so all I can say is it is PERFECT for a 'flat thin wide pizza' craving (which I've been told is NY style). For 'big thick awesome thick not-new-york pizza,' there is no other place but Mamas Pizza.
