But will there be Salad Pizza?!?! 😛
Well, it won’t taste the same. Different chef. All pizza is NOT created equal.
Wait, screamingparrot? You are saying that a different pizza owner with different recipes and ingredients will make pizza that won’t taste the same as the previous store’s pizza? How can you be so sure? 😉
Where are you Dan? Is Pizza By La Grolla 2.0 going to be opening somewhere else? My family misses you!
Ny the time it closes la grolla had lost its touch.
Saba’s on the UES is really good. Sometimes kosher pizza can be sub par but this one outshines most regular pizza places.
How is their sausage and peppers pie?
Now THAT is a clever question. The wit here is cutting.
I went out of my way for La Grolla Pizza, it was the best, even the slice I ate on the Sunday before they closed!
Meh…maybe one day we will get a decent pie hole up here.
Does anyone know of a decent thin crust pizza that delivers to the 70s? My kingdom for a decent crust.
If you mean a classic new york slice then no I haven’t found one yet.
If you mean classic brick oven style then Patsy’s is the closest that delivers to me on 76th. It’s not great but 8 do like ordering a pie with basil, ricotta, and sausage there
Does Bettola (on Amsterdam between 79 and 80) deliver to the 70s? That’s the best thin crust around.
Thanks for the tip.
I haven’t tried Bettola, Thanks for the info
Saba’s Pizza is the BEST! Looking forward to the opening on the UWS 🙂
Saba’s Pizza is okay, but Pizza By La Grolla was unique in their offerings and will be missed.
