Going into Trattori Natoli, I honestly didn't know what to expect. I've been to one other pizza-by-the-slice place before, and I definitely wouldn't recommend it. So I was skeptical walking in, especially after seeing the prices. $6 for a slice of pizza and $6 for a dirty Dr Pepper had me thinking, "There's no way this is worth it".
I was wrong.
What I got was way more than I expected. One slice is basically equivalent to two regular slices, so you're definitely getting your moneys worth. And the dirty Dr Pepper came in what I can only describe as a wonton soup container full of soda, complete with cherries. Both were absolutely fantastic.
The service was also wonderful. The couple behind the counter were friendly, attentive, and explain everything quickly and efficiently. The order came out fast, and the whole experience felt welcoming from start to finish.
As for the ambience, it's your typical mall setting, but today they were leaning hard into the nostalgia. Total 80s vibe, complete with TMNT decor, which honestly made the experience even better.
Overall, I'd highly recommend this place if you're looking for a quick bite, good pizza, homemade lemonade, or just something different that actually lives up to the hype. read more
