This place is great. One of the neatest pizza restaurants I've been to. The service is quick and extremely friendly. The appetizer menu is good but I love and recommend their new fried zucchini sticks. The pizza menu is a bit overwhelming due to the variation. From Mott Street Meat Lover to Joey's Favorite (vegetarian), the're all good. New York's Finest Cookie n' Cream is my dessert of choice. Warm oatmeal cookies over soft vanilla ice cream. I just can't get enough of this stuff.

We started coming here when we had a couple groupons and now we're here every Friday night for pizza night. Pizza is great (even better when cooked crispy)! Fried mozzarella and spinach dip are fantastic. And if you have room cheesecake is delicious. All employees are extremely friendly. Andre is the best there is and has made us regulars. We'll be going here for years to come!

I absolutely love the pizza! Makes me feel like Im home in NY. My only complaint is the phone crew. I have to repeat everything what seems 15 times before they get it correct.

We were driving around looking for a place to have a late dinner Saturday night. We decided to go to NYPD Pizza, but didn't realize they closed at 10pm (figured they were open until 11pm). We got there at about 9:40pm, and were promptly seated. The place was practically empty, two tables looked like they were just finishing. However, our server, Dominic, never made us feel rushed at all. We ordered 2 ice teas, which he brought over quickly. We ordered some garlic knots, which were delicious! They could've had a bit more garlicky-ness, but even so, they were really good. I ordered the lasagna, which came in a baking dish, oozing with sauce and melted cheese. It was amazing! The portion didn't look too big, but it was incredibly filling. The big chunks of sausage/meatballs really made it for me. I like lotsa meat, and this satisfied in every way. Plus, the cheese was gooey and...yummy!!! Hubby went with the 14" pizza, just cheese. When it was brought to the table, Dominic asked if it was too burnt. It was a bit charred in the middle of the top, but not on the bottom. He actually asked if my hubby wanted another pizza made. But, he likes it that way. And, said it didn't taste charred at all. He loved it, and ate a little more than half (took the rest home). My hubby's also a sucker for a good cheesecake, so since he was so stuffed, ordered a caramel sauced one to go. I have to add, we do like to eat late, and lots of times we're the last ones in a restaurant. Most of the time, we're getting the evil-eye, while the staff start cleaning up around us. But, here, we never felt like we were bothering anyone. Our waiter was on point with refills and making sure everything was alright. And, no one was sweeping up next to our table, making us feel like we were in the way. This is the way to treat people, and next time, we'll make sure to get there a little earlier. And, I must say...there will be a next time!

This place has the best pizza around! It is a bit spendy but definitely worth it. Our waiter Andre was very friendly and checked up on us often. I definitely recommend this place!

We love this Place. We had the Ceasar Salad and Spaghetti and Meatballs and it was delicious and perfect portion. Pricing is excellent! The service was Superior and the Manager Sergio was so great to talk to. We are looking to do a fundraiser nights for AAHC and he provided us with all of the information we needed. We are looking forward to returning next weekend!!!!!

Our family really enjoys this place. We go there at least 3 times a month. As soon as we walk in, we get the warmest Welcome by the hostess Mary Anne . The food is amazing and very reasonable. I highly recommend it.

Came here on a groupon, food was good at the time, and service was mediocre. Server was polite but had to ask for plates/ napkins , refills, and the dressing we ordered with our wings. We were nearly done with the wings by time I got the dressing. If I would've waited for the dressing the wings would've been ice cold. Unfortunately after eating here my family and I became very sick and have been for several days. And this was the only place we all ate at in common. Will probably never return here to this location and throw away the other $20 groupon voucher.

Not much pizza of late for health reasons but OH EM GEE, NYPD's Joey's Veggie pizza was simply perfection in flavor, texture and appearance. This pizza won my heart over the Margherita and Hawaiian pizzas. Our server was attentive to our party of 9 for our after-work celebration. And the manager walked by to ensure we were happy. Will definitely keep this place in mind for my next special event.

This place is fantastic. Great atmosphere and decoration. Great service, greeted/seated quickly and my waiter was great on all fronts. Had the knots, brooklyn family pizza and buffalo wings. The knots were fantastic, warm with cheese melted over with alfredo. The wings had a buffalo sauce like no other buffalo sauce i've ever tasted, in a good way. It was bold but oddly sweet, I loved it. The pizza was absolutely fantastic. Plenty of toppings, not too greasy, superb dough/crust and topped off with delicious arugula(?). Definitely recommend.

Very good. We split the ceazar salad. It was perfect. The gsrlic knots needed more garlic. . The meat lovers pizza was almst perfect needed a little more sauce. Then they would have nsiled it. The staff was very attentive.

The Antipasto Salad is something special to me. The first time I got it I tasted it and was kind of taken back. It has a weird taste with the artichokes and the mushrooms but it's like I just can't stop eating it. I crave it sometimes. Haha their pizza is really good too. Coming from Tennessee we didn't really have pizza like this there in the city I am from. It is pretty great. Really big pizza....

Moved here from Chicago via St. Louis one year ago. Pizza is one of my favorite meals and St. Louis is not the place for good pizza, HOWEVER, NYPD in Avondale at McDowell and Dysart is AWESOME ! ! ! We were there last night for the first time and definitely will return, OFTEN... our server was Tennille, better known as NeeNee. A girl with a beautiful smile, outstanding attitude, and excellent menu knowledge. She truly made my wife and I feel very welcome. The food was just GREAT ! ! Simple sausage pizza for me and the Brooklyn Pizza for my wife and we shared and loved both. Also, the Broadway Bruschetta was fantastic for an appetizer. This is a "Don't Miss" place.

The soho salad is awesome and pizza is great. It's priced a bit higher than most pizza places (minus 1 star), but we continue to go because it is so much better than others. I think I could eat the soho salad every day!

Service was horrific. Everyone waiting on take out orders was angry and I was no exception. Manager gave away a lot of free pizzas that night I am sure. I went to Barros up the road and it was fantastic and the employees were much more with it.

I run by for a slice here about once a week but I need to stop that. I just do not think it should take more than 5 minutes and it usually takes closer to 10! (Even when they are not busy.) I am never disappointed when I stay and get a table but sometimes I don't have time for that.

Glenda E.
I must say I was very impressed by how the staff treated me. I came in 5 minutes before they were getting ready to close. I thought they closed at 10pm not 9pm. I ask if it was okay to still fine in and if not I wouldn't be offended and I totally understood. They we're so kind and said absolutely you can order and they didn't serve me attitude or give me the "look". A young lady named Mary Anne was extremely pleasant and made me feel comfortable and assured me I didn't need to rush but could sit and enjoy my pizza! She checked on me to make sure I was doing well and even gave me a to go cup for soda when I was ready to leave. Of course I ate faster than normal because I felt so bad but they were all so nice... I really appreciated their kindness after a long day... Good service is hard to find in Goodyear but I know where you won't be disappointed NY PD in Avondale! Very professional! Oh the pizza was perfect!! Glenda

I've been searching for an arugula and prosciutto pizza like I had in New York a few months ago. And while they did not have the exact thing I've been searching for, they do have the SOHO Salad Pizza, and in a word it was...AMAZING. I asked them to make it without the dressing and just toss the mixed greens in olive oil instead, and I had to hold the nuts because of an allergy, but it was fresh, flavorful and very satisfying. The large is definitely enough to share and was under $10. The staff was super helpful, informative and friendly. This was my first visit, but it will not be my last!

Met some friends for Pizza Friday Night. This place gets very crowded so plan accordingly. Our table ordered garlic knots, 2 mediums and one Gluten Free Pizza. We were told the pizzas are handmade so expect 30 minute wait. It only took about 20 minutes have piping hot pizza delivered to the table. Everyone enjoyed the pizza and knots (although they were more rolls then knots). We all ordered desert, again very tasty, but took close to a half hour to be delivered to the table! That wait seemed a bit excessive. The waitress was helpful and polite but we hardly saw her. Celiac Review I called NYPD the morning before we planned on dining eating there. I spoke with the manager and she told me that the Gluten Free pizza is cooked in a separate oven, they use separate utensils, and that all but a few of their toppings were gluten free (meatball, fried zucchini, and breaded chicken). She made sure to tell me that they do use flour in their kitchen and although they are trained and can handle Gluten Free requests there they call there pizza "gluten sensitive". When we arrived at the restaurant I spoke to the waitress about my gluten free needs and she sounded well trained in the requests. I ordered a pizza with several meat and veggie toppings. When delivered to the table it looked good but it had to be sent back to be cooked a bit more. The crust was tasty but very crumbly. I suggest ordering the gluten free pizza well done as that seemed to firm up the crust a bit. Not too bad for a then crispy crust. I also ordered the GF chocolate "cake". It's exactly like the chocolate dome from PF Changs but served warm chocolate sauce on it. DON'T EAT THE ICE CREAM. I found out that they use shamrock vanilla ice-cream and shamrock lists restaurant packed vanilla ice-cream as one of their non-gf items. The manager worked with me on this even went as far as brining the tub of ice-cream out. They remade my desert without ice-cream and even took it off the bill (very nice of them but unnecessary). In the end I didn't get sick and the food was good. We will go back again!

The delivery: The employee was friendly and helpful. It was my first time ordering from them, so I needed some advice. They're was a slight issue with getting one of the pizzas wrong. Not a missing topping but the entire wrong ordered pizza. So it took it down from 5 to 4 stars. The manager was quick to apologize and handle the issue. After the offer of a refund or re-delivery. I just opted for the refund. Now to The pizza!! It was good the buffalo chicken that I got on mistake was rather good. Tastefully spicy and tangy. Just like you would expect it to be. Not overly spicy. Done pretty well. And the works pizza. Was very good. Nice fresh toppings on both. The size of the pizza was well done. Good crust you can tell someone put some time and care into making the good. However pricy makes it hard at a little more than 20.00 a pizza. Is the largest draw back. With only specials on like two days a week makes it hard to not order at least once. A week. All in all. It is the best pizza I have had in Arizona.. Good job guys

If you're old enough to remember Gomer Pyle this ones for you... SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE! There's great pizza on the West Siiiide. I've been avoiding the NYPD Pizza next to Pei Wei well because it's NYC pizza which usually in my experience means sog city doughy center. Plus it's next to Pei Wei & I love me some Pei Wei. However on a trip to get my taxes done & in an effort to apease my hubs whom loves pizza & wings I ate at NYPD Pizza & LOVED it. They have the best slices deal for lunches & you can get a lunch size portion of wings (6). Just the best deal ever & oh so tastey. The wings were spicey & tangy with out being too vinegary in flavor. No idea how they accomplished that but kudos chef. We'll be back with the fam in tow this weekend. Bringing the teen & his grandma. Should be fun! Thanks NYPD Pizza you're the bestest NYC pizza in my humble opinion.

In the time since I sadly had to give NYPD pizza a single star for not having any gluten-free products available upon my visit, I've been twice more. Both times, as on my first visit, the food and service were outstanding. I was also contacted by two members of management who were very apologetic about running out of GF items and who offered me a gift certificate for the inconvenience. I didn't accept it because I wanted my follow-up review to be untainted by the spectre of paid advertisement, but it was very nice of them to offer.

Love everything from the salad to the Hell's Kitchen wings and the best pizza. Ordering take out is a breeze and dining in is great too. A little bit pricey but superior quality. They have a good happy hour too!

I don't know about it's authenticity as a "New York pizza restaurant" but the food is pretty good and so is the service. I thought the Sicilian pizza was a little on the expensive side ($19 for half which came out to about 6 square slices) but I haven't had Sicilian pizza enough times to know if the price is par with other places.

I have enjoyed this pizza before here & in Surprise the service had been good until last time me and my family went we waited there for 40 minutes dine in of course and no pizza finally a manager noticed we were waiting there and came up and just said sorry; we forgot your pizza, I feel we were discriminated because we were the only Hispanics there.... Anyways I still left the tip and just told them to box it up I was going home by the way the pizza was free but was not worth the 40 minute wait:-(

My family and I have been here once and I'm sure it won't be the last time. The service was great. Our waitress was very attentive and nice. We happen to go a night where kids eat free so that was a bonus. The Caesar salad is was good and we ordered a Hawaiian style pizza. I liked it. Not the best I've ever had but over all a good experience and we will return.

Rob L.
NY style pie on the in the West Valley More of a Chicago-style pizza family, but we like NYPD Pizza. Setting is an open, loud restaurant. Ordering is quick, drinks arrive quickly, and the service is upbeat. Pizza is actually very good-- too often, NY-style places are super oily and lack interesting flavor. These folks don't commit those sins and you can taste your toppings. Very good for groups. Price is a tad high for pizza compared to the big chains. All prices are going up these day though, and this is much better than a Pizza Hut, Domino's, or Pappa John's.

Being vegan, I was thrilled when NYPD began offering the Veganizza, and vegan cheese for custom orders. It is nice to have the option of ordering a pizza for pick or delivery now. It is a bit pricey, and despite only being 3.5 miles away, there is a delivery charge of $3, which I think is excessive, given the cost of the pizza. I do like that they have a record of your last order for easy reordering, but given I get a custom sometimes, I would like to see a better record so that I don't have to go online to go through the options again. That being said, for anyone plant based or with a dairy issue who doesn't mind a higher price for pizza, I would recommend it. I have never eaten there, only utilized pick up or delivery. Drivers have always been courteous.

The pizza was ok. The garlic knots were dinner rolls. The hero sandwich was decent at least it had cappy on it. But overall a bit disappointed when the service was the best part of the meal. And she was nice..

I prefer the pizza served here to all of the other pizza joints I've tried in the area. The crust is thin but chewy. I really like the bruschetta pizza for the chunks of ricotta. The only reason I removed a star is because the wait for delivery is pretty excessive. I have ordered four times and waited over an hour each time, so plan ahead.

This is one of my favorite pizza places in the west valley. Been here a couple of times getting 2 slices. I enjoy the NY decor here as well. Went here last year for Christmas. Tonight I'm trying the location in downtown phoenix on McDowell. Waiting for my friend who is running late.

Ok, so I did a Motts pizza, and enjoyed it. I called in the order for take-out and picked up. Wait time was quoted as 25 minutes, so I showed up 25 minutes after the call. Sure enough, my pie was ready. And barely warm. Which begs the question... Did they just make it really fast & quote my time with a little "cushion time", or did they give me a Little-Ceasar-style premise one?... By the time I got home, the cheese was rubberized (you know how it gets on a pizza once it cools down), but the pie was still very tasty. So I gotta give props, but not a 5-er. The people were very friendly-5stars for the peeps. 3 for the pizza. Meetin' in the middle with 4.

Great pizza with a superb hand-tossed dough crust! We got fried zuchinni as an appetizer and we all loved it! Even my picky toddlers. Then we got a medium pizza and that sucker was HUGE!! Great sauce and dough. The crust was thin, New York style. Our waitress was awesome too and always made sure our drinks were filled and that we we had everything we needed. We will definition return since we had a great experience.

After living in the valley for over 10 years I finally made my way to Avondale recently while scoping out locations for my next Hawaiian Experience Spa. One day I stopped at NYPD pizza for lunch and it was so good I went back again when I was back in Avondale a few days later. The service was quick and friendly and the menu had lots of options. My wife got a Strawberry Fields? salad because she is watching calories and she loved it. It really looked good. I tried the margarita pizza the first time and the bruschetta pizza the second time. Both where excellent. There is a bar but it was lunch time and we were working so we just got water. :( Speaking of lunch, there is a lunch menu M-F which has pizza by the slice. If we open a new day spa in Avondale or a new day spa in Goodyear (which is a block away) NYPD Pizza looks like it will become a regular stop for us. Give it a try.

Jeff G.
Not impressed with the person taking the order but I will give them another try. I ordered 2 pizzas, one pepperoni, one white, and some cannoli's. The person taking my order had the hardest time and made multiple mistakes. He had difficulty understanding my address after telling it to him 6 times and spelling it out for him. He failed to write down my first pizza and told me I didn't have enough for delivery until I reminded him about it. I just knew my order would be screwed up. Guess what, it was. About an hour later my pizzas showed up and I got two pepperoni pizzas. After a brief conversation with the manager they took one of the pies back and said the white will be out shortly. Of course if you like luke warm pizza this would be fine. We ended up tossing one of the pizzas in the oven for 10 minutes just to get it nice and hot. It's not true NY pizza, but it is still better than the other chains nearby.

We just got home from our first time at NYPD Pizza. We heard that they serve vegan pizzas so we had to go try it out. We were expecting more of a typical pizzeria atmosphere...much more casual and just a few tables. It is very nicely laid out and decorated. The staff was very friendly to us and to all of the other customers. In addition to that, they seemed to be enjoying themselves while working. We ordered two of the My-za pizzas (each serves one). One was the "Veganizza", with Daiya "cheese", Roma tomatoes, spinach, basil, and garlic. The other was a build your own and had Daiya "cheese", mushrooms, red onions, and green peppers. They were both DELICIOUS!! They were very flavorful and seasoned very nicely. We will definitely be going back.

Great salads and pizza! We went Saturday mostly families and it was not to busy they have a good salad selection and we felt the pizza was reasonable priced. We had never had thin crust pizza before, it was good the toppings were all at the center which I didn't like that but the crust was good.
(4)
Reed B.
My wife and I love the pizza dough at NYPD. You can't go wrong with Vinny's Favorite. You choose your five favorite toppings. We usually go with pepperoni, italian sausage, ham, roma tomatoes and basil. Go ahead and order the upstate wings and salad before you order your pie because it takes around 20 minutes for the pizza to finish cooking. If you still have room, order the San Gennaro Zeppolis. They are covered in powdered sugar and are served with chocolate and raspberry sauces. I'm pretty sure I gained 5 lbs writing this review.

Ordered the Brooklyn Family pizza. Was delicious! My first time ordering here. Would definitely come back and try another one. Oh, and they finished my order rather quickly. Ordered on a Friday night. Was told it would be 23-35 minutes. Came 5 minutes early, hoping it would be done. And yes it was!

James A.
Got the 10" pete-zer with all the veggies and meats (Minus Anchovies) it was very good. I came for dinner it was a little pricey for the size of the pie. But their lunch specials blows the competition away with the all you can eat 1 topping slices.

Lou R.
Ordered the Italian Wedding Soup, and the Italian Sausage+Peppers a la Vodka. Both were extremely underwhelming. The soup was almost bitter, an overpowering celery flavor destroyed any attempt to enjoy it. Also of note, as a result of this it tasted nothing like any Italian wedding soup I've ever had. This is further reinforced by it's complete lack of any meatballs (a staple in this soup, under all circumstances). The pasta was dry (lacking sauce), and a little mushy (the bad, way overcooked kind of mushy). The sausage in the pasta, however, was outstanding. The sauce needs to be thickened and the pasta cooked correctly so they adhere to one another. The absolutely overwhelming amount of basil(?) placed on top of the pasta - I assume for decoration - was also a gigantic turnoff. Nobody wants to open a vodka/pasta dish and see 3/4 of the surface green - it was just ridiculous. We'll try them, and review them, again. But these are two pretty basic staples that unfortunately fell very short of even "I haven't eaten all day, I just want food" expectations.

My last update was in 2010 so I figure I do a re-review. We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday lunch. The place was pretty packed for lunch but the service was still great. I ordered a personal pizza Brooklyn Family style (pepperoni, sausage and fresh basil). WOW, it was so so GOOD but a little pricey for a 10" pizza. Everyone else enjoyed their food too. We had a great time!

I went during a quiet time with my boys. I have never had New York pizza before all I knew was that it was thin crust. We ordered the garlic cheese knots and my boys loved it and I thought it was good. We ordered the large works pizza and the wait was less than expected. My boys filled up on garlic cheese knots and my wife was at work so it was up to me to be the taste tester. In the spirit of full disclosure I do not like thin crust pizza, it started because I do no like how greasy they are. The pizza was nice though, it wasnt greasy at all. The ingredients were fresh, I really enjoyed that. The employees were helpful and friendly. I apologize to the waitress because I forgot your name. You were great. One of my kids was getting antsy and the waitress did I great job distracting them. The 4th star was given by my wife who ate the leftovers, she loved it. If the cost was less it would be getting 5 stars.

First time I came here I got a calzone. Didn't like it cause it had ricotta cheese. I was not used to that. Next I tried the pizza and I love the Brooklyn pizza. Also tried the pasta these were ok not bad not great. Do like that fact they are a Pepsi affiliate restaurant. And the family all LOVES the zeppolis.

I had a coupon from the retail me not app fora a 16" two topping pizza and 24 wings for $24.99. The coupon was good untile 03/15/2014. I called in the order and asked if they were still accepting the coupon, just to be sure. The gentleman on the phone then asked Brittany, who stated that they were still accepting the coupon. When I went to pick up my order I was told they could not accept the coupon because it was not for their location. The price was then $44. I would NEVER have paid that much money for pizza and wings. The gentleman who took the order kindly told Brittany that he took the order and told me that they would accept the coupon. Brittany still would not accept the coupon. I was then told they had another deal going they could give instead. This deal took a mere $4 off of my order so I was still paying a little over $40. I could understand if the coupon listed specific locations, but it did not, and was listed under the Alameda Crossing section of the retail me not coupon section, not any of their other locations. Because the manager stated they would accept it at the time I placed my order, I feel like they should have honored the coupon. Needless to say I will not be returning to NYPD pizza.

Here on a business trip and saw the ad in the hotel room. Pizza was ok at best. A little pricey for average pizza.

NYPD delivered food to our hotel for our wedding weekend pool party, and they supplied everything, from the ice and drinks, to food, to utensils and plates. We were so grateful for their awesome customer service. We were fans prior to our catering needs: the food is always fresh, the staff is top notch, and their pizza is a little taste of (East Coast) home for me.

Finally, a pizza place that satisfies the individual pizza taste buds of my family! We ordered the Rocky's Philly Steak Pizza along with a cheese pizza and both were delicious! Everyone left happy.

Ask for Rocio. She is amazing. I don't cook and frequently go out to eat. Rocio service is better then anywhere I have ever eaten. She goes above and beyond and out of her way to make sure my kids are happy and the food is to our satisfaction. She always has a smile on her face and is friendly. Rocio thank you, I will be sure to ask for you every time I come in!

Food is always great. But delivery took almost 2 hours. Driver TEXTED and said he couldn't find the apartment. Then 10 minutes later texted and asked if we could meet him by the front of the complex . Not professional and we definitely not going to be getting delivery again. We were missing the extra marinara sauce to go with the garlic knots so there was no sauce for them..Update:Since this post I have been contacted and apologized to! Very professional and I can't wait to order again.

Me and my husband and our two kids went here Friday night. Great service, Shaina was very sweet and very attentive. The pizza was great. Me and the boys had pepperoni, and a cheese! Classic choice and very good one. Fresh and amazing! We ordered pizza sauce on the side to dip our crust in! Wlthe prices are a little more than we wanted but kids eat free on Wednesdays, and they also offer deals on Groupon! So we will definitely be back!

NYPD Never Disappoints On every visit to NYPD I am seated promptly and the service is always outstanding. There has never been a time where I had to wait for anything and the staff at NYPD is very accommodating. As a New Yorker I can be pretty picky when it comes to my pizza. I really enjoy a good slice of New York style pizza folded in half and loaded with toppings and NYPD never fails me. NYPD serves up an authentic pie with just the right amount of Oregano and Basil seasoning. On top of the fabulous sauce NYPD never skimps on ingredients. This pizza has lots and lots of toppings and your leftover pizza is even better tasting the next day when reheated, you can't say that about just any pizza. I am never disappointed with NYPD I guess that's why I keep on coming back for more.

The pizza was absolutely delicious. And the honey hot wings were the best I've had in a long time. Kimberly was always on top of our beer and let me know they now carried my favorite beer, angry orchard! We will definitely be back soon! Great food, great service!

I can recommend the baked ziti and the bar-b-que pizza--they're amazing! (But I'm sure everything is great...) Joey is a great manager also, and has great customer servic skills are great :) This is my first time here, and I'll be back many more times!

In town for a family visit from Boise, Idaho, I decided to try NYPD, as I had heard good things. I was not disappointed. Casey was well-versed in the extensive menu, and not only did he find out what I liked, he made recommendations based on my preferences. The exchange felt personal, like he was truly getting to know me as a potential regular customer. Seriously, who does that nowadays? The garlic knots he suggested were like crack; I couldn't get enough of them (not that I have personal experience with crack, but one hears things...). I didn't feel like pizza, and had pasta that unfortunately, was a little salty (hence merely 4 stars), but still tasty. Since I too work in a pizza restaurant back in Boise, Casey and I geeked out hardcore about the filtration system NYPD has and gushed over our ovens. I mean, come ON! We nerded out over commercial baking appliances! That, honestly, on top of the great food, made my night. I'll definitely have to come back next time I'm in town.

My staff and I come here at least once a wk for lunch. Tiffany always greets us with a smile and like she's known us for decades. She's so friendly and attentive. Pizza by the slice is always good - I get mine extra crispy.

Well I was using my Jedi mind powers when we picked this one. We walked in and low and behold Wednesday nights kids eat free. The pizza was awesome and we tried the cannoli to it was also good . Over all we were very happy we will definitely be back

Delicious food. I recommend the Calzones, they are massive and full of flavor. One of my few favorite pizza joints in Arizona.

Had a good lunch at NYPD Pizza. Had to try their new fried mozzarella. They were actually square shaped. I've never seen that before. They fell apart a little bit as we ate them because they are hand breaded and the juices were leaking out onto our hands. But they were good with the marinara. Not really seasoned, just simple. Pricey though... $7.99 for 3 squares! We ordered a medium 16" pizza with half pepperoni, half cheese. I liked that the crust was thin, yet soft. Sprinkled on some parmesan & oregano for added flavor. Good pizza. Our server was attentive and kept our drinks refilled. A $30 lunch for two isn't cheap, but we enjoyed it and had leftovers to take home, so I'm happy.

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

This place is great. One of the neatest pizza restaurants I've been to. The service is quick and extremely friendly. The appetizer menu is good but I love and recommend their new fried zucchini sticks. The pizza menu is a bit overwhelming due to the variation. From Mott Street Meat Lover to Joey's Favorite (vegetarian), the're all good. New York's Finest Cookie n' Cream is my dessert of choice. Warm oatmeal cookies over soft vanilla ice cream. I just can't get enough of this stuff.

We started coming here when we had a couple groupons and now we're here every Friday night for pizza night. Pizza is great (even better when cooked crispy)! Fried mozzarella and spinach dip are fantastic. And if you have room cheesecake is delicious. All employees are extremely friendly. Andre is the best there is and has made us regulars. We'll be going here for years to come!
(5)Marissa B.
I absolutely love the pizza! Makes me feel like Im home in NY. My only complaint is the phone crew. I have to repeat everything what seems 15 times before they get it correct.

We were driving around looking for a place to have a late dinner Saturday night. We decided to go to NYPD Pizza, but didn't realize they closed at 10pm (figured they were open until 11pm). We got there at about 9:40pm, and were promptly seated. The place was practically empty, two tables looked like they were just finishing. However, our server, Dominic, never made us feel rushed at all. We ordered 2 ice teas, which he brought over quickly. We ordered some garlic knots, which were delicious! They could've had a bit more garlicky-ness, but even so, they were really good. I ordered the lasagna, which came in a baking dish, oozing with sauce and melted cheese. It was amazing! The portion didn't look too big, but it was incredibly filling. The big chunks of sausage/meatballs really made it for me. I like lotsa meat, and this satisfied in every way. Plus, the cheese was gooey and...yummy!!! Hubby went with the 14" pizza, just cheese. When it was brought to the table, Dominic asked if it was too burnt. It was a bit charred in the middle of the top, but not on the bottom. He actually asked if my hubby wanted another pizza made. But, he likes it that way. And, said it didn't taste charred at all. He loved it, and ate a little more than half (took the rest home). My hubby's also a sucker for a good cheesecake, so since he was so stuffed, ordered a caramel sauced one to go. I have to add, we do like to eat late, and lots of times we're the last ones in a restaurant. Most of the time, we're getting the evil-eye, while the staff start cleaning up around us. But, here, we never felt like we were bothering anyone. Our waiter was on point with refills and making sure everything was alright. And, no one was sweeping up next to our table, making us feel like we were in the way. This is the way to treat people, and next time, we'll make sure to get there a little earlier. And, I must say...there will be a next time!
(4)Emily E.
This place has the best pizza around! It is a bit spendy but definitely worth it. Our waiter Andre was very friendly and checked up on us often. I definitely recommend this place!
(5)Kristen L.
Never disappointed when I come here. Excellent pizza with the freshest ingredients. Highly recommend the garlic knots! Food is always ready when quoted for take out. Service is great, very friendly and helpful staff!
(5)Rebbecca G.
We love this Place. We had the Ceasar Salad and Spaghetti and Meatballs and it was delicious and perfect portion. Pricing is excellent! The service was Superior and the Manager Sergio was so great to talk to. We are looking to do a fundraiser nights for AAHC and he provided us with all of the information we needed. We are looking forward to returning next weekend!!!!!
(5)Mona Z.
Our family really enjoys this place. We go there at least 3 times a month. As soon as we walk in, we get the warmest Welcome by the hostess Mary Anne . The food is amazing and very reasonable. I highly recommend it.
(5)Josh O.
Came here on a groupon, food was good at the time, and service was mediocre. Server was polite but had to ask for plates/ napkins , refills, and the dressing we ordered with our wings. We were nearly done with the wings by time I got the dressing. If I would've waited for the dressing the wings would've been ice cold. Unfortunately after eating here my family and I became very sick and have been for several days. And this was the only place we all ate at in common. Will probably never return here to this location and throw away the other $20 groupon voucher.
(1)Nicole P.
They have a great lunch special with a slice of pizza and a salad for a reasonable price and it's definitely filling. I've also had great service every time I've been.
(4)Debra W.
Not much pizza of late for health reasons but OH EM GEE, NYPD's Joey's Veggie pizza was simply perfection in flavor, texture and appearance. This pizza won my heart over the Margherita and Hawaiian pizzas. Our server was attentive to our party of 9 for our after-work celebration. And the manager walked by to ensure we were happy. Will definitely keep this place in mind for my next special event.
(4)Seth B.
This place is fantastic. Great atmosphere and decoration. Great service, greeted/seated quickly and my waiter was great on all fronts. Had the knots, brooklyn family pizza and buffalo wings. The knots were fantastic, warm with cheese melted over with alfredo. The wings had a buffalo sauce like no other buffalo sauce i've ever tasted, in a good way. It was bold but oddly sweet, I loved it. The pizza was absolutely fantastic. Plenty of toppings, not too greasy, superb dough/crust and topped off with delicious arugula(?). Definitely recommend.
(5)Christine W.
Went there for lunch today. Service was excellent and pizza was delicious! We will definitely be back. Highly recommend the bruchetta pizza and garlic knots.
(5)John G.
Very good. We split the ceazar salad. It was perfect. The gsrlic knots needed more garlic. . The meat lovers pizza was almst perfect needed a little more sauce. Then they would have nsiled it. The staff was very attentive.
(4)Sara G.
The Antipasto Salad is something special to me. The first time I got it I tasted it and was kind of taken back. It has a weird taste with the artichokes and the mushrooms but it's like I just can't stop eating it. I crave it sometimes. Haha their pizza is really good too. Coming from Tennessee we didn't really have pizza like this there in the city I am from. It is pretty great. Really big pizza....
(5)Julissa A.
Love this place! Pizza is absolutely delicious!!! Definitely recommend the garlic knots and zeppolis are addicting!!! Wednesday and Sunday's after 4pm, kids eat free!!! The staff here are so friendly!!! S/o to Tennille!

Food was great, service was attentive and Whitney is a service Rock Star. She makes us feel like one of the family ( we're not just to be clear) every time we come in. Ask for her when you drop by

Moved here from Chicago via St. Louis one year ago. Pizza is one of my favorite meals and St. Louis is not the place for good pizza, HOWEVER, NYPD in Avondale at McDowell and Dysart is AWESOME ! ! ! We were there last night for the first time and definitely will return, OFTEN... our server was Tennille, better known as NeeNee. A girl with a beautiful smile, outstanding attitude, and excellent menu knowledge. She truly made my wife and I feel very welcome. The food was just GREAT ! ! Simple sausage pizza for me and the Brooklyn Pizza for my wife and we shared and loved both. Also, the Broadway Bruschetta was fantastic for an appetizer. This is a "Don't Miss" place.
(5)Kathleen S.
The soho salad is awesome and pizza is great. It's priced a bit higher than most pizza places (minus 1 star), but we continue to go because it is so much better than others. I think I could eat the soho salad every day!
(4)Connie S.
Service was horrific. Everyone waiting on take out orders was angry and I was no exception. Manager gave away a lot of free pizzas that night I am sure. I went to Barros up the road and it was fantastic and the employees were much more with it.
(1)Jacob E.
These guys do a GREAT gluten free pizza. Always friendly, fast service. I get pizza here every time I come to AZ for work. Keep it up!
(4)Liz R.
I run by for a slice here about once a week but I need to stop that. I just do not think it should take more than 5 minutes and it usually takes closer to 10! (Even when they are not busy.) I am never disappointed when I stay and get a table but sometimes I don't have time for that.
(3)Glenda E.
I must say I was very impressed by how the staff treated me. I came in 5 minutes before they were getting ready to close. I thought they closed at 10pm not 9pm. I ask if it was okay to still fine in and if not I wouldn't be offended and I totally understood. They we're so kind and said absolutely you can order and they didn't serve me attitude or give me the "look". A young lady named Mary Anne was extremely pleasant and made me feel comfortable and assured me I didn't need to rush but could sit and enjoy my pizza! She checked on me to make sure I was doing well and even gave me a to go cup for soda when I was ready to leave. Of course I ate faster than normal because I felt so bad but they were all so nice... I really appreciated their kindness after a long day... Good service is hard to find in Goodyear but I know where you won't be disappointed NY PD in Avondale! Very professional! Oh the pizza was perfect!! Glenda
(5)Karyn O.
I've been searching for an arugula and prosciutto pizza like I had in New York a few months ago. And while they did not have the exact thing I've been searching for, they do have the SOHO Salad Pizza, and in a word it was...AMAZING. I asked them to make it without the dressing and just toss the mixed greens in olive oil instead, and I had to hold the nuts because of an allergy, but it was fresh, flavorful and very satisfying. The large is definitely enough to share and was under $10. The staff was super helpful, informative and friendly. This was my first visit, but it will not be my last!
(5)Kathleen J.
Great service! Kimberly, our server, was prompt with our orders, she was very polite and courtious. The manager stopped by and checked on us twice. Everything tasted amazing. This was my boyfriends first time here and he was very impressed. Price was not bad at all!
(5)Aztryd L.
The service was awesome! Our food was delicious and speedy. A special thanks to our hostess Anais who provided wonderful service right off the bat.

Met some friends for Pizza Friday Night. This place gets very crowded so plan accordingly. Our table ordered garlic knots, 2 mediums and one Gluten Free Pizza. We were told the pizzas are handmade so expect 30 minute wait. It only took about 20 minutes have piping hot pizza delivered to the table. Everyone enjoyed the pizza and knots (although they were more rolls then knots). We all ordered desert, again very tasty, but took close to a half hour to be delivered to the table! That wait seemed a bit excessive. The waitress was helpful and polite but we hardly saw her. Celiac Review I called NYPD the morning before we planned on dining eating there. I spoke with the manager and she told me that the Gluten Free pizza is cooked in a separate oven, they use separate utensils, and that all but a few of their toppings were gluten free (meatball, fried zucchini, and breaded chicken). She made sure to tell me that they do use flour in their kitchen and although they are trained and can handle Gluten Free requests there they call there pizza "gluten sensitive". When we arrived at the restaurant I spoke to the waitress about my gluten free needs and she sounded well trained in the requests. I ordered a pizza with several meat and veggie toppings. When delivered to the table it looked good but it had to be sent back to be cooked a bit more. The crust was tasty but very crumbly. I suggest ordering the gluten free pizza well done as that seemed to firm up the crust a bit. Not too bad for a then crispy crust. I also ordered the GF chocolate "cake". It's exactly like the chocolate dome from PF Changs but served warm chocolate sauce on it. DON'T EAT THE ICE CREAM. I found out that they use shamrock vanilla ice-cream and shamrock lists restaurant packed vanilla ice-cream as one of their non-gf items. The manager worked with me on this even went as far as brining the tub of ice-cream out. They remade my desert without ice-cream and even took it off the bill (very nice of them but unnecessary). In the end I didn't get sick and the food was good. We will go back again!
(4)Sail A.
Barbecue pizza was fantastic.. Good service and fast too! The menu was big , staff nice and friendly.. Will definitely come back.
(3)Jason M.
The delivery: The employee was friendly and helpful. It was my first time ordering from them, so I needed some advice. They're was a slight issue with getting one of the pizzas wrong. Not a missing topping but the entire wrong ordered pizza. So it took it down from 5 to 4 stars. The manager was quick to apologize and handle the issue. After the offer of a refund or re-delivery. I just opted for the refund. Now to The pizza!! It was good the buffalo chicken that I got on mistake was rather good. Tastefully spicy and tangy. Just like you would expect it to be. Not overly spicy. Done pretty well. And the works pizza. Was very good. Nice fresh toppings on both. The size of the pizza was well done. Good crust you can tell someone put some time and care into making the good. However pricy makes it hard at a little more than 20.00 a pizza. Is the largest draw back. With only specials on like two days a week makes it hard to not order at least once. A week. All in all. It is the best pizza I have had in Arizona.. Good job guys
(4)Nora V.
If you're old enough to remember Gomer Pyle this ones for you... SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE! There's great pizza on the West Siiiide. I've been avoiding the NYPD Pizza next to Pei Wei well because it's NYC pizza which usually in my experience means sog city doughy center. Plus it's next to Pei Wei & I love me some Pei Wei. However on a trip to get my taxes done & in an effort to apease my hubs whom loves pizza & wings I ate at NYPD Pizza & LOVED it. They have the best slices deal for lunches & you can get a lunch size portion of wings (6). Just the best deal ever & oh so tastey. The wings were spicey & tangy with out being too vinegary in flavor. No idea how they accomplished that but kudos chef. We'll be back with the fam in tow this weekend. Bringing the teen & his grandma. Should be fun! Thanks NYPD Pizza you're the bestest NYC pizza in my humble opinion.
(5)Beth C.
In the time since I sadly had to give NYPD pizza a single star for not having any gluten-free products available upon my visit, I've been twice more. Both times, as on my first visit, the food and service were outstanding. I was also contacted by two members of management who were very apologetic about running out of GF items and who offered me a gift certificate for the inconvenience. I didn't accept it because I wanted my follow-up review to be untainted by the spectre of paid advertisement, but it was very nice of them to offer.
(5)Marissa R.
Love everything from the salad to the Hell's Kitchen wings and the best pizza. Ordering take out is a breeze and dining in is great too. A little bit pricey but superior quality. They have a good happy hour too!
(5)Edda I.
My brother introduced me to this pizza joint. The service and the food is phenomenal. The atmosphere is great. Our new go to place for Friday family pizza night! FYI- you have to try their Fall Harvest salad and Fran's favorite pizza. So yummy!
(4)Luciana L.
I don't know about it's authenticity as a "New York pizza restaurant" but the food is pretty good and so is the service. I thought the Sicilian pizza was a little on the expensive side ($19 for half which came out to about 6 square slices) but I haven't had Sicilian pizza enough times to know if the price is par with other places.
(4)Stephanie F.
Great food!!! Good lunch specials.
(4)Dimas A.
I have enjoyed this pizza before here & in Surprise the service had been good until last time me and my family went we waited there for 40 minutes dine in of course and no pizza finally a manager noticed we were waiting there and came up and just said sorry; we forgot your pizza, I feel we were discriminated because we were the only Hispanics there.... Anyways I still left the tip and just told them to box it up I was going home by the way the pizza was free but was not worth the 40 minute wait:-(
(2)Buzz M.
Average NY Style pizza. Delivery time was an hour. It's not great nor is it memorable but it's not bad either. Slightly better than Dominos.
(3)Jon V.
Service was good, and the place is definitely plenty nice for a chain. That said, the pizza isn't very good.
(2)Rachel H.
My family and I have been here once and I'm sure it won't be the last time. The service was great. Our waitress was very attentive and nice. We happen to go a night where kids eat free so that was a bonus. The Caesar salad is was good and we ordered a Hawaiian style pizza. I liked it. Not the best I've ever had but over all a good experience and we will return.
(4)Rob L.
NY style pie on the in the West Valley More of a Chicago-style pizza family, but we like NYPD Pizza. Setting is an open, loud restaurant. Ordering is quick, drinks arrive quickly, and the service is upbeat. Pizza is actually very good-- too often, NY-style places are super oily and lack interesting flavor. These folks don't commit those sins and you can taste your toppings. Very good for groups. Price is a tad high for pizza compared to the big chains. All prices are going up these day though, and this is much better than a Pizza Hut, Domino's, or Pappa John's.
(4)Robin T.
Being vegan, I was thrilled when NYPD began offering the Veganizza, and vegan cheese for custom orders. It is nice to have the option of ordering a pizza for pick or delivery now. It is a bit pricey, and despite only being 3.5 miles away, there is a delivery charge of $3, which I think is excessive, given the cost of the pizza. I do like that they have a record of your last order for easy reordering, but given I get a custom sometimes, I would like to see a better record so that I don't have to go online to go through the options again. That being said, for anyone plant based or with a dairy issue who doesn't mind a higher price for pizza, I would recommend it. I have never eaten there, only utilized pick up or delivery. Drivers have always been courteous.
(4)Michael B.
Great pizza loved they split the pizza into 2 choices. Service was great waiter Andre was very well versed on the menu and loves his products. He sampled me beer at no charge and the in house brews wear very good fresh with nice full body flavors. I would come again.
(5)Trevor P.
The pizza was ok. The garlic knots were dinner rolls. The hero sandwich was decent at least it had cappy on it. But overall a bit disappointed when the service was the best part of the meal. And she was nice..
(2)R K.
Pizza was excellent. Atmosphere was really nice. Service was great. Only complaint i have is they don't have fresh cracked pepper for salads or pasta. I think that's a miss.
(5)Belle E.
I prefer the pizza served here to all of the other pizza joints I've tried in the area. The crust is thin but chewy. I really like the bruschetta pizza for the chunks of ricotta. The only reason I removed a star is because the wait for delivery is pretty excessive. I have ordered four times and waited over an hour each time, so plan ahead.
(4)Anna R.
A fave pizza place in the valley. The whole family loves it! I prefer to dine in as when we've had it delivered its never been hot enough. But it sure is yummy! The cheese is my faaaaaave!
(4)Mark M.
Doug the driver was very polite and had some great dialogue with my daughter. Pizza was fantastic as always and will order from them every time.
(5)Ella M.
This place has great lunch specials! I have never been disappointed in the pizza here! Tons of toppings on my fave...Joey's favorite (minus the onions). Their antipasto is to die for with tons of flavor and endless goodness! My boyfriend loved the pizza and the wings!
(4)Sandi F.
Favorite place to get pizza! And the reason behind this due to a very special someone at this store. He's caring, funny, smart, and not to mention very VERY hot. Don't get me wrong the pizza is hot and fine but so is this manager.
(5)Jezel O.
Love this place specifically for their cicillian pizza. I love that you can take out or eat in and it feels like a fancy restaurant. Good service. And not too expensive. Definitely recommend
(3)Leigh D.
This is one of my favorite pizza places in the west valley. Been here a couple of times getting 2 slices. I enjoy the NY decor here as well. Went here last year for Christmas. Tonight I'm trying the location in downtown phoenix on McDowell. Waiting for my friend who is running late.
(5)N S.
Ok, so I did a Motts pizza, and enjoyed it. I called in the order for take-out and picked up. Wait time was quoted as 25 minutes, so I showed up 25 minutes after the call. Sure enough, my pie was ready. And barely warm. Which begs the question... Did they just make it really fast & quote my time with a little "cushion time", or did they give me a Little-Ceasar-style premise one?... By the time I got home, the cheese was rubberized (you know how it gets on a pizza once it cools down), but the pie was still very tasty. So I gotta give props, but not a 5-er.

Great pizza with a superb hand-tossed dough crust! We got fried zuchinni as an appetizer and we all loved it! Even my picky toddlers. Then we got a medium pizza and that sucker was HUGE!! Great sauce and dough. The crust was thin, New York style. Our waitress was awesome too and always made sure our drinks were filled and that we we had everything we needed. We will definition return since we had a great experience.

Excellent service! Great Pizza! Rocio was our server and she did an excellent job explaining the menu and offering samples of the NYPD Uptown Amber Ale. Great atmosphere.

Pretty good pizza spot. Beer was ice cold and the server was nice and on top of his game. Will go back.

Pizza is awsome. Crust is delious. They have a wide variety of pizza. I get something different each time and I was never disappointed. Wings n garlic bread are great too. Service is wonderful.

After living in the valley for over 10 years I finally made my way to Avondale recently while scoping out locations for my next Hawaiian Experience Spa. One day I stopped at NYPD pizza for lunch and it was so good I went back again when I was back in Avondale a few days later. The service was quick and friendly and the menu had lots of options. My wife got a Strawberry Fields? salad because she is watching calories and she loved it. It really looked good. I tried the margarita pizza the first time and the bruschetta pizza the second time. Both where excellent. There is a bar but it was lunch time and we were working so we just got water. :( Speaking of lunch, there is a lunch menu M-F which has pizza by the slice. If we open a new day spa in Avondale or a new day spa in Goodyear (which is a block away) NYPD Pizza looks like it will become a regular stop for us. Give it a try.

Not impressed with the person taking the order but I will give them another try. I ordered 2 pizzas, one pepperoni, one white, and some cannoli's. The person taking my order had the hardest time and made multiple mistakes. He had difficulty understanding my address after telling it to him 6 times and spelling it out for him. He failed to write down my first pizza and told me I didn't have enough for delivery until I reminded him about it. I just knew my order would be screwed up. Guess what, it was. About an hour later my pizzas showed up and I got two pepperoni pizzas. After a brief conversation with the manager they took one of the pies back and said the white will be out shortly. Of course if you like luke warm pizza this would be fine. We ended up tossing one of the pizzas in the oven for 10 minutes just to get it nice and hot. It's not true NY pizza, but it is still better than the other chains nearby.

Our waitress Tinill was AWESOME!!! It was our first time at NYPD and we enjoyed our service, our waitress, and last but never least the food!!! Definitely going back....

We just got home from our first time at NYPD Pizza. We heard that they serve vegan pizzas so we had to go try it out. We were expecting more of a typical pizzeria atmosphere...much more casual and just a few tables. It is very nicely laid out and decorated. The staff was very friendly to us and to all of the other customers. In addition to that, they seemed to be enjoying themselves while working. We ordered two of the My-za pizzas (each serves one). One was the "Veganizza", with Daiya "cheese", Roma tomatoes, spinach, basil, and garlic. The other was a build your own and had Daiya "cheese", mushrooms, red onions, and green peppers. They were both DELICIOUS!! They were very flavorful and seasoned very nicely. We will definitely be going back.

Great salads and pizza! We went Saturday mostly families and it was not to busy they have a good salad selection and we felt the pizza was reasonable priced. We had never had thin crust pizza before, it was good the toppings were all at the center which I didn't like that but the crust was good.

My wife and I love the pizza dough at NYPD. You can't go wrong with Vinny's Favorite. You choose your five favorite toppings. We usually go with pepperoni, italian sausage, ham, roma tomatoes and basil. Go ahead and order the upstate wings and salad before you order your pie because it takes around 20 minutes for the pizza to finish cooking. If you still have room, order the San Gennaro Zeppolis. They are covered in powdered sugar and are served with chocolate and raspberry sauces. I'm pretty sure I gained 5 lbs writing this review.

Ordered the Brooklyn Family pizza. Was delicious! My first time ordering here. Would definitely come back and try another one. Oh, and they finished my order rather quickly. Ordered on a Friday night. Was told it would be 23-35 minutes. Came 5 minutes early, hoping it would be done. And yes it was!
(4)James A.
Got the 10" pete-zer with all the veggies and meats (Minus Anchovies) it was very good. I came for dinner it was a little pricey for the size of the pie. But their lunch specials blows the competition away with the all you can eat 1 topping slices.

Ordered the Italian Wedding Soup, and the Italian Sausage+Peppers a la Vodka. Both were extremely underwhelming. The soup was almost bitter, an overpowering celery flavor destroyed any attempt to enjoy it. Also of note, as a result of this it tasted nothing like any Italian wedding soup I've ever had. This is further reinforced by it's complete lack of any meatballs (a staple in this soup, under all circumstances). The pasta was dry (lacking sauce), and a little mushy (the bad, way overcooked kind of mushy). The sausage in the pasta, however, was outstanding. The sauce needs to be thickened and the pasta cooked correctly so they adhere to one another. The absolutely overwhelming amount of basil(?) placed on top of the pasta - I assume for decoration - was also a gigantic turnoff. Nobody wants to open a vodka/pasta dish and see 3/4 of the surface green - it was just ridiculous. We'll try them, and review them, again. But these are two pretty basic staples that unfortunately fell very short of even "I haven't eaten all day, I just want food" expectations.

My last update was in 2010 so I figure I do a re-review. We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday lunch. The place was pretty packed for lunch but the service was still great. I ordered a personal pizza Brooklyn Family style (pepperoni, sausage and fresh basil). WOW, it was so so GOOD but a little pricey for a 10" pizza. Everyone else enjoyed their food too. We had a great time!

My husband likes the pizza. I ordered pasta primavera. Tasted very fresh however it had no real flavor. Since we carried out it doctored myself.
(3)Darcy M.
Great pizza, we ordered Margerita and Bruschetta and both were very good. Nice crust, big slices, very nice restaurant and the inside, friendly staff.
(5)Scott B.
my wife and i went there last week and it was really good food and great service and love the new york decor
(4)Matt W.
Pros : Great Pizza, food, Service, and Atmoshphere Cons: Pricey with no combo of pizza & wings specials You can tell their management team is very expirienced. well deserved 4 stars and worth a try.

I went during a quiet time with my boys. I have never had New York pizza before all I knew was that it was thin crust. We ordered the garlic cheese knots and my boys loved it and I thought it was good. We ordered the large works pizza and the wait was less than expected. My boys filled up on garlic cheese knots and my wife was at work so it was up to me to be the taste tester. In the spirit of full disclosure I do not like thin crust pizza, it started because I do no like how greasy they are. The pizza was nice though, it wasnt greasy at all. The ingredients were fresh, I really enjoyed that. The employees were helpful and friendly. I apologize to the waitress because I forgot your name. You were great. One of my kids was getting antsy and the waitress did I great job distracting them. The 4th star was given by my wife who ate the leftovers, she loved it. If the cost was less it would be getting 5 stars.

Their pizza is the best I've tasted. Their prices are slightly high, but it's worth it the pizza and pasta is so good. Make sure to save room for the zeppolies (sp).... They are to die for. My favorite is the raspberry sauce.
(5)Travis H.
Great pizza, if you like thin crust...which I do!
(5)Rich P.
Food is very good. Only reason I don't give more stars is the price!!!

First time I came here I got a calzone. Didn't like it cause it had ricotta cheese. I was not used to that. Next I tried the pizza and I love the Brooklyn pizza. Also tried the pasta these were ok not bad not great. Do like that fact they are a Pepsi affiliate restaurant. And the family all LOVES the zeppolis.

I had a coupon from the retail me not app fora a 16" two topping pizza and 24 wings for $24.99. The coupon was good untile 03/15/2014. I called in the order and asked if they were still accepting the coupon, just to be sure. The gentleman on the phone then asked Brittany, who stated that they were still accepting the coupon. When I went to pick up my order I was told they could not accept the coupon because it was not for their location. The price was then $44. I would NEVER have paid that much money for pizza and wings. The gentleman who took the order kindly told Brittany that he took the order and told me that they would accept the coupon. Brittany still would not accept the coupon. I was then told they had another deal going they could give instead. This deal took a mere $4 off of my order so I was still paying a little over $40. I could understand if the coupon listed specific locations, but it did not, and was listed under the Alameda Crossing section of the retail me not coupon section, not any of their other locations. Because the manager stated they would accept it at the time I placed my order, I feel like they should have honored the coupon. Needless to say I will not be returning to NYPD pizza.

Here on a business trip and saw the ad in the hotel room. Pizza was ok at best. A little pricey for average pizza.

This place is great! Pizza is consistently yummy!

NYPD delivered food to our hotel for our wedding weekend pool party, and they supplied everything, from the ice and drinks, to food, to utensils and plates. We were so grateful for their awesome customer service. We were fans prior to our catering needs: the food is always fresh, the staff is top notch, and their pizza is a little taste of (East Coast) home for me.

Finally, a pizza place that satisfies the individual pizza taste buds of my family! We ordered the Rocky's Philly Steak Pizza along with a cheese pizza and both were delicious! Everyone left happy.

Have ate there quite a few times love the Greek salad and always get the works pizza!! Never have been disappointed and my husband likes it too
(4)Crystal T.
My family goes here almost once a week and we love it. The staff is super friendly and nice to our young son. I love all their salads and my picky pizza eater husband loves their pizza.
(5)Tiffany L.
Ask for Rocio. She is amazing. I don't cook and frequently go out to eat. Rocio service is better then anywhere I have ever eaten. She goes above and beyond and out of her way to make sure my kids are happy and the food is to our satisfaction. She always has a smile on her face and is friendly. Rocio thank you, I will be sure to ask for you every time I come in!

Food is always great. But delivery took almost 2 hours. Driver TEXTED and said he couldn't find the apartment. Then 10 minutes later texted and asked if we could meet him by the front of the complex . Not professional and we definitely not going to be getting delivery again. We were missing the extra marinara sauce to go with the garlic knots so there was no sauce for them..Update:Since this post I have been contacted and apologized to! Very professional and I can't wait to order again.
(5)Crystal S.
Me and my husband and our two kids went here Friday night. Great service, Shaina was very sweet and very attentive. The pizza was great. Me and the boys had pepperoni, and a cheese! Classic choice and very good one. Fresh and amazing! We ordered pizza sauce on the side to dip our crust in! Wlthe prices are a little more than we wanted but kids eat free on Wednesdays, and they also offer deals on Groupon! So we will definitely be back!
(5)R G.
Best place to eat pizza and calzones in the west valley. Food is great and the staff is fast and friendly.

NYPD Never Disappoints On every visit to NYPD I am seated promptly and the service is always outstanding. There has never been a time where I had to wait for anything and the staff at NYPD is very accommodating. As a New Yorker I can be pretty picky when it comes to my pizza. I really enjoy a good slice of New York style pizza folded in half and loaded with toppings and NYPD never fails me. NYPD serves up an authentic pie with just the right amount of Oregano and Basil seasoning. On top of the fabulous sauce NYPD never skimps on ingredients. This pizza has lots and lots of toppings and your leftover pizza is even better tasting the next day when reheated, you can't say that about just any pizza. I am never disappointed with NYPD I guess that's why I keep on coming back for more.

Had a really great dinner tonight and our server Keith made the evening even better! Ravioli was great, meat lover's pizza was great, fried zucchini was great.. thanks for the suggestion Keith and for the great service!
(5)Jeanette L.
The pizza was absolutely delicious. And the honey hot wings were the best I've had in a long time. Kimberly was always on top of our beer and let me know they now carried my favorite beer, angry orchard! We will definitely be back soon! Great food, great service!
(5)Jonny D.
I can recommend the baked ziti and the bar-b-que pizza--they're amazing! (But I'm sure everything is great...) Joey is a great manager also, and has great customer servic skills are great :) This is my first time here, and I'll be back many more times!

In town for a family visit from Boise, Idaho, I decided to try NYPD, as I had heard good things. I was not disappointed. Casey was well-versed in the extensive menu, and not only did he find out what I liked, he made recommendations based on my preferences. The exchange felt personal, like he was truly getting to know me as a potential regular customer. Seriously, who does that nowadays? The garlic knots he suggested were like crack; I couldn't get enough of them (not that I have personal experience with crack, but one hears things...). I didn't feel like pizza, and had pasta that unfortunately, was a little salty (hence merely 4 stars), but still tasty. Since I too work in a pizza restaurant back in Boise, Casey and I geeked out hardcore about the filtration system NYPD has and gushed over our ovens. I mean, come ON! We nerded out over commercial baking appliances! That, honestly, on top of the great food, made my night. I'll definitely have to come back next time I'm in town.

My staff and I come here at least once a wk for lunch. Tiffany always greets us with a smile and like she's known us for decades. She's so friendly and attentive. Pizza by the slice is always good - I get mine extra crispy.
(5)Charles A.
Well I was using my Jedi mind powers when we picked this one. We walked in and low and behold Wednesday nights kids eat free. The pizza was awesome and we tried the cannoli to it was also good . Over all we were very happy we will definitely be back
(5)Armando M.
Excellent! Great pizza begins with the dough. This place has it nailed down. The Hot wings are amazing as well. Just order anything and it'll be great.
(5)Colton W.
Delicious food. I recommend the Calzones, they are massive and full of flavor. One of my few favorite pizza joints in Arizona.
(5)Jade W.
Had a good lunch at NYPD Pizza. Had to try their new fried mozzarella. They were actually square shaped. I've never seen that before. They fell apart a little bit as we ate them because they are hand breaded and the juices were leaking out onto our hands. But they were good with the marinara. Not really seasoned, just simple. Pricey though... $7.99 for 3 squares! We ordered a medium 16" pizza with half pepperoni, half cheese. I liked that the crust was thin, yet soft. Sprinkled on some parmesan & oregano for added flavor. Good pizza. Our server was attentive and kept our drinks refilled. A $30 lunch for two isn't cheap, but we enjoyed it and had leftovers to take home, so I'm happy.
