So I live just a couple blocks from this place and used to come here when it was the Acapulco. After seeing the marquee stating ""genuine New York pizza"" I had to find out if it was true. A former NYCer myself, I had to do the taste test. It was a Saturday night and the place was hopping. It was a mostly younger crowd and the flat screen TVs were showing some reality show on MTV. Aside from it being noisy (yeah, I'm old) I LOVED the food! The pizza was thin crust - as it should be - and the marinara sauce is superb. The toppings are great. I actually found a place that puts fresh spinach on pizza in L.A.! I'm definitely going back to try other items on the menu, if the pizza is any indication I'm sure it's all great. Not too pricey and the music was great. We'll probably go on a week night and see if the noise level isn't too crazy. I know bars are noisy, I just hate having to shout to my dining partner! Otherwise, this place gets my vote!
Pros: Great food, genuine NY style pizza
Cons: Loud crowd, at least on a Saturday night
