Went into Commack the other day, while traveling through Long Island, and met the Mad Greek for some pizza. Since Mad Greek previously thought the pizza at Fanatico Pizza in Jericho, NY was exceptional, we decided to give another family member of the Branchinelli Clan a taste test. It amazes me how different pizza can taste from the same family using the same ingredients. In my opinion, the pizza at Branchinelli’s in Hauppauge has tasted the best. Yes better than Colosseo’s Pizza, and better than Pasta-eria in Plainview. With tastebuds ready, we walked into Emilio’s Pizza in Commack.
When I walked in, I kind of felt like the staff looked at me like I was an idiot (which many people I have met would agree with….I am an idiot sometimes). I asked them where I should sit. Is this a grab a slice and sit down myself place, or do I sit with a server, since there were no signs guiding me either way. We ultimately (reluctantly) decided to go with a server, since we didn’t understand how it would work otherwise. It was something to the affect, if you just get slices you can sit yourself, if you get a salad or a dish you must use a server….blah blah blah.
