Angelo’s Pizza NYC

angelos-pizzacoal oven sliceHere is a treat for any tourist in New York. Angelo’s Pizza on 57th Street. The pizza is out of this world. The theater district is normally not known for having the best pizza in the city. I was astonished with how good this pizza was for the ares.

Angelo’s Pizza is as good as any major pizzeria around the city, and so close to Carnegie Hall. This is the kind of pizza that make people say “I had a great NY pizza.”

Now it’s not worth making a special trip to Angelo’s, there is good pizza all over NY (even though there is more bad than good), however if you are in the area, you can’t go wrong with Angelo’s.

The story of Angelo’s is kind of interesting as well. When the new owners of the establishment found this location, the discovered that there was already a coal burning oven from the early 1900’s. After transforming the oven into a coal burning brick oven, they managed to create some amazing pizza.

The dough here was nicely crisp, and tasted great. The sauce was sweet, and not chunky, and was placed on the pie evenly. The cheese was fresh Mozz, and just tasted amazing. All in all, I was remarkably pleased with this pizza.

Portofino Hotel Poolside Pizza Universal Studios

On our last day at Universal Studios in Orlando, we met with Sam over by his pool at the Portofino Hotel.  When the waiter came to our cabana and handed us menus I was happy to see they had some pizza.  My previous day’s pizza was pretty horrible, but we will discuss that in a later review.  So I ordered myself a plain pie and hoped for the best.

When the pizza came it looks amazing.  The crust was super thin, and crispy, and the cheese was sizzling.  My problem with the pizza the other day was their sauce, so I was overjoyed to see that there was very little sauce on this pie.  Although the crust tasted a bit watery, it still was a great tasting pie.  The cheese tasted great, and what sauce was actually placed on the pie wasn’t too bad.

I must digress, I even ordered a second pie as we were sitting there, since the first one wasn’t too filling due to how thin it was.  Never got to eat that pie due to some unfortunate reason.  But next time I am up there, I will definitely eat this pizza again.  Probably the best pizza I have had anywhere within Universal Studios and Disney.

Johnny V’s Pizza in Tradition Port St. Lucie

The other day on the way to Orlando, my family started to complain they were hungry.  Since my advising everyone to eat before we left was obviously ignored.  Getting stuck in traffic made these hunger pains of theirs amplified, and I figured it was time to stop and eat.  We got off the exit in Port St. Lucie, by the new Tradition 1/4 completed community.

Pizza Time Cafe Parkland

pizza-time-caffe-parkland-regular2A gem of a restaurant, Pizza Time Caffe is one of my favorite places in Parkland.  (954) 345-8665.  A little hard to find if your not familiar with the area but definitely worth a detour.  They have a beautiful display of different pizza’s and other prepared Italian food, plus a full menu.  I don’t even mind the waitress service because it’s a comfortable place to be.  I am not sure if they are connected with the fabulous Pizza Time’s in Coral Springs, FL and Boca Raton, FL but its not important.

We sampled 3 slices.  The round grandma slice was delicious and the Marinara also very tasty.  I didn’t care as much for the regular slice on this trip.  It seemed too heavy.  Or I was full from the other types.  Overall a very nice pizza.  And a great surprise is that they participate in the Rewards Network so it’s possible to get an extra 10% off.  6 of 8 slices.

Watch This and Never Eat Domino’s Pizza Again

What you are about to see is absolutely disgusting.  If you didn’t think Domino’s Pizza was gross before watching this, you will understand why you shouldn’t eat their food after seeing this.

Mi Pi: Boca West Country Club Pizza

mi_pi.jpgbocawestcountryclub.jpgThe newest Pizzeria to open in Boca Raton, FL isn’t in a shopping plaza or strip-mall.  It’s in an upscale country club, which is not usually a place I’d go for pizza.  And unfortunately, unless you’re a member or friends with a member, you can’t go to either.  But the pizza at My Pi isn’t an afterthought, or just something to put on the menu.  It is the central theme of the restaurant; from the name, to the giant pizza oven in the middle of the room.
