After reading the reviews on here, I decided to try Nicantoni's. Being from NY and having searched for a decent REAL piece of NY pizza in this town I was excited to try Nicantoni's pizza. I was very disappointed. The pizza had no flavor, no olive oil, no oregano and no taste. There wasn't much cheese on it or tomato sauce and the sauce tasted like Chef Boy Ar Dee. I have to say, though, that the crust was thin and crisp and very good. Also, I had requested garlic and meatball topping on my pizza and the garlic was chopped garlic from a jar, not fresh, and the meatballs did not taste good at all. In addition the toppings were put on the slice and not cooked long enough so that the meatballs were barely warm when they came out. I ended up removing the toppings and just eating the slice itself. VERY disappointing.\r
Nicantoni's does have some good points however. My husband and I both had salads, he had the house salad which was basic and I had the antipasto salad which was pretty good...not great. The Italian dressing was very good, but ask for it on the side if you don't want your salad drowned.\r
We also ordered desserts, hubby having the spumoni which looked good and he enjoyed it, and I had the tiramisu which was a really nice surprise. It was small, but very rich and tasted wonderful.\r
The service is very good, a cute casual atmosphere, geared towards the younger crowd. \r
The owner also came out to chat with us which was nice, a very nice young man from New York. The other pleasant surprise was that he had playing a radio station from Woodstock, NY which he gets off the internet, so that was nice to hear...reminds me of home.\r
All in all, I would try it again, but not for their pizza. They also have calzones and some other things but nothing fancy, and no real Italian dishes other then that.\r
Worth a try, but definitely NOT the best NY pizza!
Pros: Personable service, good tiramisu and salads.
Cons: Not the best pizza by any means! Very limited menu.
