New Style Pizzeria
Posted by Samantha Lazar on September 28, 2009
New Style Pizzeria has been dishing out doughy delights on the corner of 41st and Chestnut for going on 18 years. But now they’re true to their name – a few months ago the place underwent a total renovation, and now it’s as appealing to eat-in as it is to grab take out or order up a delivery. It still looks like your typical pizza joint, but one that’s well-lit, with a glass front, spacious open kitchen, and cheery orange walls.
The food, of course is the same as it’s been – that is to say, delicious. The prices are great too: I haven’t seen too many places serving up small pies for less than $6 in a long time. And any pizza place that sells white pizza for even less than the classic plain pie gets a gold star in my book. In addition to the staples, New Style also has a long list of specialty pies (the super-loaded “New Style Special” is a big crowd pleaser), stuffed pizzas, hoagies/sandwiches/wraps, salads, steaks, soups, paninis, wings, strombolis, calzones, appetizers, burgers, platters, pastas . . . you get the idea. The menu is enormous! The only down side is that they don’t offer too much by the slice, but split a pie with some friends and you’ll never miss it.
I stopped by recently in a rare grease-averse mood and decided to go for the White Primavera Specialty Pizza, which comes piled high with obviously fresh broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, and garlic. The crust manages to be both crispy and doughy, and it comes out piping hot with gooey cheese. It was like a taste of spring – definitely try one of these on a cool fall day when you want to forget that winter is just around the corner! I also got the Mediterranean Greek salad (the salad and small pie were more than enough for two hungry people), which was huge, fresh, and filled with tasty grilled chicken and sliced eggs.
People in the 40th St. neighborhood tend to overlook New Style in favor of places like Allegro, College Pizza, and (gasp!) Papa John’s, but that’s a big mistake. Think of New Style next time a pizza craving strikes or you want to stuff yourself on the cheap.
