From the moment you enter New York Pizza Company, a quaint little pizza shop in Palencia Village, you are greeted with warmth by the employees and the smell of pies baking. You can see the cook slinging dough and throwing it in the air, while you enjoy one (or a few) of the many scrumptious appetizers on their menu. Not only is the restaurant’s charming staff prompt and pleasant, they also serve great New York style pizza and other delectable Italian dishes!

Some of New York Pizza Company’s best appetizers are their NYPC Famous Garlic Knots and their Mozzarella Sticks. They also offer specialty rolls and calzones made fresh to order. On my last visit, I indulged in the Pepperoni Roll and I was not sorry. The flakey warm crust is perfectly wrapped around the mound of mozzarella cheese and delicious pepperoni slices. And, of course, they are known for their specialty pies. I am a big fan of the Hawaiian Pie and the Famous Cheese Pie, but there are an assortment of choices to fit anyone’s craving.

New York Pizza Co. has pizza by the slice until 3 pm every day of the week for $2.25 a slice or two slices for $4.50. They also have specials Monday through Friday, including Two-for-Tuesday: Buy one pie, get a second pizza (equal or lesser value) at half price, and the Thursday $8.49 special: two meatballs, two garlic knots, side house or Caesar salad and a beverage. If you love Buffalo wings, make sure to stop in on Monday for their six jumbo wings and a beverage special for $7.49.

If you are in the mood for pasta, they offer lunch portion pasta selections served with one garlic knot and a beverage or you can create your own pasta dish by choosing your pasta type, sauce, toppings and meat/protein. New York Pizza Co. also has a daily soup selection and a great dessert menu to satisfy that sweet tooth!
