A few places I saw on this site dont deliver at all and I dont think I would like Joe & Pats not being a fan of thin crust pizza Ps just looking for a regular pie Thanks, Don Sun Nov 01 14:15:02 -0800 2009 1120894 foodielover99 1 5148107 Hi, Don. I wish I could help you. I'm on the island too, but not near your neighborhood. It seems many contributors here do like the thin crust variety, but if you like other kinds, there must be a good many. After all, SI seems to have a pizzeria on every other block. Pending further responses here, why not just visit a few near you and discover which you prefer? And then write here and tell us of your finds! We're all ears.

You guys know everything yet I'm getting no help Thu Nov 05 11:35:18 -0800 2009 5149283 1120894 foodielover99 4 5158848 Did you do a search on Staten Island Pizza here? You might turn up something. I tried to help you out by checking some other sites. Bridge & Tunnel doesn't seem to have anything in your area (Brother's on Port Richmond is closest) and Slice (see below) seems to review the same places that are touted on CH. There's a site called eGullet that you might look at. http://slice.seriouseats.com/cgi-bin/mte/mt-search.cgi?IncludeBlogs=25&limit=20&search=staten+island&sa.x=33&sa.y=17&sa=search Thu Nov 05 12:47:44 -0800 2009 5158583 124191 comestible 5 5159348 I'm not sure what a "regular pie" is a foodie lover wants, but maybe I'll try to turn this thread away from pizza to the great ethnic restaurants out here. I tried this with a previous thread and was mildly successful, although it turned back into a pizzas thread after a short time. Thu Nov 05 15:37:24 -0800 2009 5158848 19760 BMartin 4 5160976 You live by the Staten Island Mall my friend which culturally is a scorched earth zone including the pathetic Tiki bar that Bourdain went to with a mummified New York Doll. This board is full ad nauseum of Island pizza places none of which is in your nabe. However, odds are that in one of those horrendous strip malls that radiate off of Richmond Ave like vericose veins you will find a decent pie but first you must venture inside, take a look and maybe have a slice if it seems promising. Yes, boldly go where no hound has been before... Fri Nov 06 09:15:53 -0800 2009 5158583 73175 Flaco 5 5161946 Isn't there a steak house on Richmond Ave. that looks like it's been there since the 1950s? Always wondered if it's any good, even though I'm a vegetarian. Truth be told, there WAS a Japanese restaurant that was pretty darn good in one of those awful strip malls. Happened upon it a couple of years ago. Who knows if it's still there. An oasis. Fri Nov 06 14:17:40 -0800 2009 5160976 124191 comestible 6 5162524 I believe that the Japanese restaurant is in the same strip mall as the Vietnamese restaurant--next to the Staten Island Hotel--and I also believe that it is still there. Where is the steak house--I'm not a vegetarian. Fri Nov 06 19:03:56 -0800 2009 5161946 19760 BMartin 7 5162800 comestible is probably referring to the fairly recently revived Henny's. http://www.hennyssteakhouse.com/ Fri Nov 06 23:49:04 -0800 2009 5162524 20921 Tay 7 5163372 Actually no, the Japanese resto I was referring to was in a forlorn strip mall adjacent to or behind the big mall...or behind another strip nearby. I'll be going in that direction to do some shopping soon, and I'll have a look to see if I can find it again. Sat Nov 07 10:21:15 -0800 2009 5162524 124191 comestible 1 5163298 I have stated on SI at a hotel about a mile away from the mall and had great (at least I thought) pizza from this little family owned restaurant. It's in a strip mall near a Chili's I think. Sat Nov 07 09:26:37 -0800 2009 5147386 96748 freckles1963 1 5187967 Try Bario's Tue Nov 17 05:38:26 -0800 2009 5147386 90833 estarae
