Famous Name Pizzeria/Restaurant
Tuesday, September 06, 2005
Busy Upper East Side pizzeria/restaurant on the corner of Second Av and 69 Street. Family friendly - plexiglass window for little ones to see the pizzas being made and baked. They serve bread and olive oil (no butter). Salads are ample, enough for two. Caesar salad (insalata romana) is great ($7 or $17 for family size - big enough for 4). Pastas are okay but people come here for the thin-crust pizza which arrives bubbling hot. A large pie starts at about $15 and when you add salad, drinks, appetizers, your bill could be $50+ which is a lot more than you thought you would spend for a night out for pizza so make it an occasion. Service is congenial. Atmosphere is casual.
