when i was there last week johnny mentioned they might be moving, i think he said somewhere on perkins, but i cant really remember.

my gf and i almost ate there one saturday, but she 1st wanted to go to that place next door that sells those cute little fancy puppies...the smell in that puppy place was so bad, that we both lost our appetites...i'd move too.

If you are complaining about the cost of eating out then you should just cook at home




if i would have known it was going to taste so bad, i would have ate at home.

It's a general point. I've eaten out many times and had bad meals but it is what it is. It cost money to eat out and I rarely complain about the price. Food may suck but I knew the price once I sat down and could have left prior. More often than not I have good meals whether it is 6 bucks or 100 bucks.

Go down the street from there and eat at Dempsey's. Not pizza but you won't be disapointed.


Not sure what happened with his liquor license because I have been several times and had bottles of wine. Not in the last 3-4 months though. Maybe he lost it when he had the name change? Not sure why.

For the record I like the little joint and I've never had a bad pie there or pasta. Never had lunch buffet or a sandwich though. Only dinner.

Oh I forgot to mention in my earlier post, he offered me a glass of wine. I don't know how that goes with the liquor license thing.

Does anyone know if they have an authentic Margherita pizza (with real buffalo mozzarella)? Hard to find a good New York style pie in Louisiana.

mdobra1, I'm gonna have to agree with you on this one. I got a medium 3 topping pizza and the girlfriend got a small speciality pizza and an order of cheese bread and it came out to over $35. ($16 for each of the pizzas and $5 for the cheese bread).

Thats ridiculous, for my money I would rather get DeAngelo's or Italian Pie to-go.

I did try his lunch buffet and I thought that was very good and reasonable for the price. It did kinda creep me out how he stood up there and served you food and watched you eat...........kinda reminded me of the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld.

NY Pizza does NOT have a medium pizza.. Are you complaining about paying for a Large 3 topping pizza for 14.50? According to their menu 14 inch is 9.99 and 1.50 for each topping. Which 10 inch personal pizza costs 16 dollars? The most expensive specialty ones range from 9.99 to 13 dollars. Cheesebread is listed as 6.50. Thats 34 dollars but compare those prices to Papa Johns and or DeAngelos which they do not have a 14 inch as the 'medium' and you will pay 9.95 for a 12 inch and on avg $2 for each topping. You are looking at the same prices for less.. Not to mention the fact that DeAngelos is the same family. I FAIL to see how you paid 16 for "each pizza" when their own menu disputes this as being possible.

BTW ever think of getting a large pizza and splitting it down the middle for what each of you want? I just find it funny that the chain pizza joints would charge you the same prices for what you ordered but you never hear of people saying Papa Johns is expensive.

ETA I added the same meal you had on Papa Johns order form and even WITH thier special the total came out to 32 dollars. This is for delivery not eating at an Italian restaurant.

ALL are expensive by the mesures defined in this thread. Of the 4 NY Pizza is actually the cheapest.

and BY FAR the best. i cant eat dominos or papa johns, i am a pizza snob though. growing up in jersey will do that to ya.

I think I do, and after initially liking his pizza, have ate there so much over the past year, that I've discovered that most of his pizzas are good not great, sans the Deluxe with extra toppings.

The sandwiches and buffet fare, are largely bland and forgettable. Give me Mrs Saia's at Anthony's & Pokey at Pocorellas sandwiches and other dishes, Gino's,etc..any day of the week.

Sure, some folks have issue with BR pizza, admittedly lacking, and even though I'd call Johnny D's Large Deluxe add extra Pepperoni, Ham, and Peppers BR's best. I still like a Pastime Everything when on flat crust and not overdone(which they sometimes burn the crust) or a Fleur De Lys All-Around w/no anchioves(theirs are too salty and sometimes rank nowadays)..

Johnny's Pizza is like BR's Best's Chinese(Taste Of Asia and PF Chang's)..though really good..it largely wins by default..because this town is near void!

There are generic corner stores in New York, Jersey, and Conn, that serves pizza just as good..and you know it!

you just described my pizza to a "T" ... this is what i get everytime ..

Johnny definitly gives the place a mafia-esque vibe to the place. But I think it adds to the character of the place. Now I wish he would fix his damn liquer license issue. Im betting there is some political game someone is playing with him on that. Place has character which is something BR lacks.
