NYPD Pizza

Consistently great pizza, good service and friendly staff. Wish they had a larger variety of beer on tap, but the pizza is amazing! :)

Being from the NY/​NJ area, this is about as close to home as it gets. It’s similar in taste and quality but still missing the wood brick oven taste. The place is dimly lit, sparsely decorated. Several booths and tables with an open kitchen. I’ve yet to see a cook «throw» a pizza up in the air. I ordered the bruschetta pizza. It came relatively quick. It was light, fresh and the ricotta cheese has NO SUGAR ADDED! Whew! So many places in AZ think you need to add sugar. This is only for deserts fools! Happy they get what real Italians do well here. A definite place for me to get my home town food fix.

I’ve been coming here for years. Pizza is ok but their lasagna is what makes this place great. The lasagna’s fresh ingredients and baked when ordered make it a must try. The cheesy garlic knots are great too.

This is definitely one of my favorite pizza place The Brooklyn family is my most ordered! The use fresh basil, I love that! That also have tummy garlic cheese balls and spinach artichoke dip. The Combe of eating together is delish

Recommended for casual lunches or dinners. Our favorite pizzas are the Big Kahuna and Da Works. Since can usually handle one small pizza for both of us, we ask half and half. We add a Greek salad and we get a full delicious dinner.

I am from Chicago and every year when I come in to chandler to visit, I always have to come here for dinner. I love this restaurant. Their pizza is awesome and their service is great. This is a well managed, clean restaurant.

Ummmm okay. First of all, this place is 5 star every time. Everything is amazing from the water to the ranch. The wings are bomb as hell no matter what flavor or what style; bone in or bone out. The pizza is perfecto! I’m gunna die. This is my favorite pizza place so far since I’ve been in Arizona and I don’t think that will change! The beer was amazing and so was the waiter! Shout out to James one time. He is one of the best servers I’ve ever had and made the experience even better!!!

By far one of the worst flavorless restaurant pizza I’ve ever had !!! I think I’ve had better ones at Costco !!! No flavor on the crust whatsoever and the tomato paste. It was just a very sad pizza overall… (I had the Brooklyn family) bad bad bad

I haven’t been here in years but decided to visit again since a few weeks ago. This place is still awesome! Our server James was great and the food came out pretty quick. NYPD still has the best garlic cheese knots. We live near the Scottsdale/​Shea location, but this place is sooooo much better. Keep it up guys!

Oh NYPD, two steps forward– three steps backwards. I only wish your pizza wasn’t good, it would be easier to never go back.
I placed a phone takeout order and was quoted 20 – 25 minutes for my large pizza and garlic knots on a Sunday night. I get there 35 minutes later and walk in and wait to be acknowledged at the take-​out area. There were five employees behind the counter, all facing the kitchen line. No one could be bothered to look towards the entrance to maybe greet customers. After five long minutes a guy turns his head to the side and yells out «Hey– my man!» Which apparently is NYPD speak for «Good evening– how may I help you?» The man never asked if I needed help– and instead went back to staring at the kitchen staff working away.
Finally after ten minutes a different employee saw me and asked if I needed help. I have him my name and paid for my food. He silently walked away and went back to staring at the kitchen crew. It seemed like there was zero leadership working. It looked like a member of management was back in the kitchen– working hard helping make wings and other food– which I admire, but there was no one in front of house– which was a disaster.
After 55 minutes, my food was given to me. Not one word was mentioned as to why it took so long, or God forbid an apology offered. Just «here’s your pizza». Now I realize it’s a first world problem when pizza is taking 55 Minutes, and I also understand sometimes things happen. What I cannot understand is the complete and utter lack of customer service. If things are going wrong in the kitchen– or they are behind, etc– just say so. We are all human. I’d get it. But say SOMETHING. To act like it’s normal that a simple order takes an hour while everyone avoids talking to customers is insane. If it is so busy the manager has to help cook, then someone needs to be designated as front of house– and meet the needs of customers. It is inexcusable that five employees are standing with their backs to customers and no one can be bothered to greet people and expedite orders. If things have gone so bad in the kitchen– then someone needs to take care of the customers and explain what’s going on– and apologize. Offer a free dessert maybe. Or comp something. Do anything, other than ignore your customers and when they finally get their food act like everything is normal.
It doesn’t matter how good the food is, if it’s a total
nightmare to try and get it. The level of apathy is off the charts here. This NYPD location is where customer service goes to die. Skip it, you’ll thank me.

I have been coming to NYPD since I first moved to Az. I am originally from queens NY. I grew up working in pizzerias. I know a good pie.
This is the best pizza. Johns on bleaker street in the village comes pretty close, but NYPD makes a tight pie.
The other end of the equation is the service. Mat the manager has made a good staff here. Every time I come in he is friendly, and his staff is on point.
I give this place my highest rating.

This used to be one of my Phoenix staples when I lived here 7 years ago or visited in recent years. After going today, I don’t know if this is going to be a must visit for me anymore.
At lunch you have the option for express lunch and order from the counter and serve yourself drinks or you can sit down and get the same deals & all the menu options. I hate taking a server’s table, so we elected for full service. It was busy, but not crazy busy today for lunch. Our server had a trainee, but it seemed to take forever for everything. At the end, he apologized for giving crappy service. He was very polite, but just missed all the serving point. I had to get a refill on our iced teas on my own from the self service area since we waited so long with empty cups. I also had to bring my cold pizza back up to the counter. They offered to re-​cook it, but I hate wasting food. They re-​heated it, but they went a little aggressive and almost burned it.
The lunch speacials are great since they give you a slice and multiple other options: another slice & drink, wings, salads, or garlic knots; at a reasonable price.
Will I be back? I’ll give them another shot since I have really liked this place for years, but I was really disappointed in today’s experience.

I was born in NYC and spent my summers there every year since I moved at 8. And, I have only been in AZ for two years. When I say I am serious about my PIZZA… believe me. After someone’s suggestion I went to the one on McDowell Rd. AMAZING, almost reminds me of my fav spot off Jamaica Ave. And, they even sell it by the slice! I loved it so much I had pizza there for a week. But, McDowell is by work, and I live in Ahwatukee. :(. So thinking that all NYPD Pizza is created equal, the family decided to go to the one in Chandler last night. I won’t be back. Why you ask?
1– We arrived at 6:00 for dine in. We left at 8:00… when we arrived there were literally only two other families in the joint. It was empty! We didn’t order an appetizers … just One large pizza and a personal pizza. and we scarfed down our food in literally 10 minutes, because we needed to finish homework and put the kids to bed…
2– Lets see… the «Large» was smaller than the one I am use to … I mean what Pizza doesn’t get 8 slices out of the deal? We don’t eat much. .but we were still hungry when we left and had to stop somewhere else…(and we spent 45 dollars!)
3– No one refilled Anything, or asked us about anything… we just sat. and waited… and waited. I almost walked out, but I ordered apple juice for the kids, and didn’t want to pay for that and find a new place.
4-​And, of course, when it was time to pay our bill… that also took FOREVER. Maybe it was just the night? Not sure, but I won’t be back …
5-​and the pizza wasn’t even as good as the McDowell location.
I guess I will have to keep making that drive :(.

As an East coaster I’m pretty serious about my pizza selection. While visiting my sister in AZ I turned to Unilocal (as always) for top picks close by in Chandler.
The 4 star reviews on this place are accurate. We ordered the Da Works pizza and it was SOLID — cooked to perfection and loaded with fresh ingredients artfully balanced. Balance is critical when you go for mass toppings and they nailed it. It’s one of those things that’s simple in theory but too many places drop the ball on. This joint takes pride in their craft and the outcome doesn’t disappoint.
On a side note, we also ordered a Greek salad sans cheese. Unfortunately they forget the pepperocini’s so it was a bit underwhelming. THAT SAID, I called and spoke with Michael (one of the managers) to give my feedback real time. He was attentive, concerned and solution oriented. Everything you want when you pay for something that missed the mark. He sincerely apologized, offered a coupon for our next visit in and assured me he’d pass along the feedback to the staff. Can’t ask for more.

Happy to say things got Resolved I hope to go back soon since things have been Resolved and have not gone yet I will give 3 until my return (but to be honest b4 the incident) it was 5 I hope it is when I return

My family are new to AZ and wanted to check this place out. Place was not busy when we walked in. We were greeted and seated right away. Waitress came over and we placed our order. For appetizers we orders what we thought were mozzarella sticks, but instead were mozzarella squares. Regardless they were still very good. We also had a pitcher of beer and when we got our bill had a $ 4 discount for the time of day we came in, so that was nice to see.
The pizza was really tasty and definitely tasted like fresh ingredients. They have a small bar area which is pretty cool to catch a game, but they had a diamond back game, so I’ll have to look for a place to watch my Dodgers :)
This was still a good place and will be back.

Just wanted to update my prior comments as I discovered management reads these Unilocal reviews. Let me start by saying that they apologized for a bad dinner experience and sent us a $ 20 coupon for our next dine in visit and not only that, but did NOT charge us for the meal.
That is an awesome way to earn our business and look forward to giving this place another try based on the nice way we were treated after an unpleasant experience.
Kudos to the mgt. Will post another review on our next visit.

The pizza here is seriously the closest to New York style pizza I have ever had. We had a large pepperoni and asked them
To «burn it» or cook it until it’s well done. The pizza came out PERFECT we also ordered the fried zucchini as an appy, which was also pretty darn tasty. Shout out to our server Alyssa who was friendly, attentive and seriously Provided some of the best customer service we have ever had !!

NYPD makes a decent pie and is a perfect place to go for a quick lunch.
A colleague and I came here last week and had a nice time, Cheese slices are $ 2.25 and Sausage and Pepperoni (photos) were $ 2.90. So $ 5.57 for a quick lunch seems very good to me.
Don’t get me wrong, this is not gourmet pizza or a wood fired pie by any stretch, but it was good, fast and cheap. Fired Pies over on Ray couldn’t fit our time window, but NYPD did the trick.

I have eaten here the past 3 nights in a row! My friend and I visited this location on Friday as they have a vegan pizza. I ordered that and a small house salad with their house dressing. The salad was extremely fresh and their house dressing was a mixture of balsamic vinegar with olive oil and herbs… it’s really good. The vegan pizza is a traditional pizza with Daiya vegan cheese instead of dairy cheese. Typically it has a reputation for being a little bland. NYPD did a decent job of making sure the pizza was flavorful.
The location delivers and offers online ordering. The delivery fee is $ 3.00 and they deliver as far north as baseline
