Growing up back east, in upstate NY, I was able to and am still able to enjoy literally the best pizza in the country. Anyone who has been to NY and who has had their pizza and/or their bagels...KNOWS there is no other spot that makes either as great as NY.
That brings me to this place. I live in Boise, Idaho. You just don't expect to find great pizza in BOISE...IDAHO! We are known for other things () () hahaha!
This place is WITHOUT A DOUBT the closest thing you're gonna get to great NY Pizza. I mentioned another place here in Boise, NY Richies"
Now, they are very much a decent pizza spot. Howevereeee, they don't compare to this place. Not even close. Both have unique features/aspects about them.
This NY Giant Pizza....is UNBELIEVABLY DELICIOUS! The slices are M.A.S.S.I.V.E! much like a lot of spots in NYC.
Not sure how they do it, but they come super close to being as incredible as the best pizzas in NY.
Garlic cheese bread to go with it too....OOOOOOH WEEEEEE! and HEY! we are all entitled to cheat days once in awhile hahaha!
I just wish they had another location. This place is so south of me and I live in northwest Boise. Be nice if they expanded. They certainly could and they'd certainly succeed. The pizza is TA. DIE. FOR! hahaha! Yeah, imo, it IS that good.
We went on a Saturday night. Now this is the part where I throw in a "WTF?!?!" bit about this place hahahaha!
We went in on a Saturday night. SATURDAY. NIGHT! don't forget that part...SATURDAY lol.
We had just seen the new Bohemian Rhapsody movie. Wonderful movie, literally brought tears to me eyes! Anyway, afterwards, we went here. Called a friend to have her meet is here. She drove from Meridian to join us.
My friend, she orders two slices of cheese. Ok, great. I'm really excited for her because she gets to try Boise's bestest and closest thing to NY pizza.
I get to the counter "hey! Can I also get two slices of cheese please?"
Lady: sorry, we are all out of pizza slices. If you want, you can wait THIRTY MINUTES for another one?"
HOLD. UP! hahaha! 3-0 minutes?!?! THIRTY. MINUTOS?!?! Umm, hmmm.
I was like, "wait a sec, you guys are all out of slices on a Saturday night and at 730 ish when tons of people are literally going and coming from the movies?"
I know, I know....blaaaah, blah, blah! This shit happens at restaurants. BUT.....it shouldn't. Especially a place that's busy like this, whose food is PHENOMENAL and not to a place that it literally two steps from the movie theater doors haha!
I was able to get once slice.
My friend who drove from Meridian, after I built the hype up of this place....ended up with a salad.
You gotta understand, the 3 of us rarely eat this stuff. So when we do, we neeeeeeeed it! Especially my friend who drove from Meridian. She has been a such a strict diet for a competition she did a few weeks ago. I was SO. STOKED. for her to eat this, to FINALLY see her eat regular food hahaha and to FINALLY see her enjoy regular food again after like 6-7mos of a super strict diet.
It is what it is, right? I guess I'm just super picky and obviously, super outspoken haha! The beginning of this review is the part you TRULY need to pay attention to...because you seriously cannot go wrong with their pizza.
Just running out on a Saturday night....very odd to me hahaha!
Got home and told my roommate "they freaking ran out of slices!"
Roommate: what??? Who runs out of slices of pizza on a Saturday night?
So see! It's just not me that's crazy hahahaha! Or who sees how crazy that is.
Have I been overly dramatic about this?? Oh yeah, no doubt, hahaha! But I guess when you and your friends limit your intake of calories and whatnot, I think we have earned the right to be dramatic af about this
Again tho, if you go to Edward's theater on Overland and are hungry after....do not hesitate in trying this place. You seriously won't regret it. Be prepared for INCREDIBLE tastes and for MASSIVE slices, hahaha! OMG! SO. GOOD!
That's it peepers!
If you read all of this....I love you! If not, I guesssssss I can try to understand why you didn't read it all....seeing as...it is a long one
Reviews are meant to be reviews
Short reviews are boring and never give a true look into a place or places.
Oh my god, I can't stop hahahaha!
Thanks again for reading, Yelpers!
