NYPD Pizza

This place has great pizza love it and its not too expensive … close to home and however wait times can be a little long but the food is food.

I visit Phoenix occasionally for work and have passed by this pizza place several times. In the evening, the you can see inside the restaurant from the street and it has always looked very inviting. I had some time tonight and was on the hunt for pizza.
I stopped in and was immediately greeted by a server named Vanda. She was awesome. Very attentive and took some extra time to help me decide what to have for dinner. Vanda made an appearance often. I don’t like when I have to scan a restaurant to see if my server went home for the night. Vanda stopped by the table often to check in on me.
I had a Fall Harvest Salad and a Mott Street Pizza. The salad was amazing. It had pears, dried cranberries, almonds, gorgonzola cheese with a Zinfandel vinaigrette. The pizza had pepperoni, sausage, bacon, meatball, bell pepper, and tomatoes.
I just found my favorite pizza joint in Phoenix. I’m not sure what will cause me to return more — the great food or the great service. I guess it’s both… perfect combo. The restaurant is clean and the décor simple and perfect. Music and TV’s.
I’ll be back for that Fall Harvest Salad tomorrow since I ate just about the entire pizza by myself. 5 Stars! Check ‘em out!

Because I’m an Arizona Sports radio fan, I hear NYPD Pizza commercials and promos all the time. So tried the downtown location for lunch one day.
I loved the atmosphere. Felt on par with other modern-​retro-​industrial look and feel of restaurants today. We were called «boys» as the wait staff made their best impressions of New Yorkers. Didn’t mind one bit.
Got the basic 2 slice and a drink combo of the lunch specials. Paid 10 buck that included tip. All together the bill glass a bit over 7 dollars. The crust was a perfectly thin which was crunchy but yet soft.
Didn’t like the «no gun» signage on the front door. If you carry, you might not want to go here. I normally don’t support those that do not support the 2^nd amendment but will make exceptions from time to time.
Politics aside, excellent pizza which deserves 5 stars!

This place was clean, and neat and just okay for an afternoon beer and Chicken Parmesan «Hero» sandwich. I strolled in off the street, but it seems that most of the traffic comes in from the rear, where the parking is. A bit confusing, for there was no one to seat me and didn’t quiet know what the procedure was, so I strolled to the back and proceeded to order, and was then told that this is where people order for take out… hmmm, okay.
I apologized and told her, «my first time» and would like to sit at the bar, so it was all cool. She said I’d be well taken care of there. It was pretty quiet, and no server, so I chilled, checked my phone and got comfortable until Amy showed up and acted surprised to see me, but again, it was all cool because I was in no rush, which is kinda what you need to be, when you pop in as a newbie.
I had the Amber Ale on draught, which is brewed just for NYPD. This was the best part of my experience here on Saturday, for the sandwich was hot, and flavorful, but the side of pasta somewhat bland. Service was lacking but at least I wasn’t completely ignored… I know ignored, and it WAS a lazy kinda day, so it was cool. I’ll probably come back to try a pizza, and take advantage of some coupons I got for being a NYPD Virgin. Plus, the beer is worth a second try!

Best pizza in town, or at least the best you don’t need to wait hours for! Order pizza there about once per week and usually on Friday. Only issues are with the persons who answer the phones. They are usually not paying close enough attention and I wind up repeating myself 4 or 5 times until they are able to read my order back to me –it’s very frustrating. Not tonight! Tonight, Vanda answered the phone! She was clear, professional, attentive to detail and accurate. I told her she should answer the phone all the time and she said I made her smile. Vanda, u rock! And NYPD Pizza, you’ll always be my go to, outside of pizza back home in NJ!

I don’t eat pizza. No really, I don’t. Not normally. But every once in awhile, even the most discriminating tongue gets a hankering for a good pizza. That is NYPD. If I am going to get a pizza at home, it’s the only option I would ever consider. So fresh. The best ingredients. Not heavy. A perfect balance between sauce and toppings. The crust is amazingly light, fresh, delicious. It’s simply the true taste of what pizza should be. Highly recommended. #perfection

Oh ma lawd ! Good pizza ! Even better service ! Alycia was a great server. They Wallstreet is my favorite

I eat at the 7^th Ave location weekly for lunch. $ 7 for two slices and a drink, can’t beat it. I go through the express line and then watch sports on the two big screens. Tawnya, the bar tender, even remembers what kind of soda I drink, this place is great, food is great, service is great! Quick and easy, highly recommend it.

$ 30 For a large 2 Item?
I don’t mind paying that for REAL Pizza…
NYPD Does not deserve to charge that much.
This was my second and last visit.
Under-​cooked every-time.Very bland. Low quality ingredients
I Appreciate that the Manager Richard tried to help/​Very Nice guy. Staff was very friendly.
Unfortunately I pay for the food/​not the service… and the food is bland and generic.
Cookie cutter pizza.
Remember the plastic pizza your mom gave you to play with when you were a kid?
That Pizza found its way onto the Menu at NYPD.
New York would turn over in its Grave if It at here:)
Sorry Guys… But The Pizza is a Joke.

Tasty! That’s what the family said! Will be a pizza place to visit again. Although the waitress was alittle moody, we walked out happy! Lol my son said, «Better than Costco» :)

I stopped by at about 4:30/5, the place was a ghost town! I’ve came here a few times and the pizza is always great! My most recent visit I got the «Brooklyn Family» style pizza, which has pepperoni, sausage and basil! We also got the fried zuchinni!
Will definetly be back!

Our waiter mr. McDreamy was excellent however the food was not what I had remembered it sucked no kidding it did.
The food was bland. The sauce the cheese knots the pizza literally no flavor.
Sad to say pizza Hut offered way more after we left

I would like to start off with my very first trip here about a month ago was absolutely delightful!!! Their antipasto salad was amazing!!!
Now… to this current visit. I ordered the same exact thing and to be honest, I am getting disappointed in the «special balsalmic» dressing that they make. It has SO MUCH THICK OIL than anything else, it leaves your salad DRENCHED in oil and that’s what you taste. It ruins it!!! You end up blotting your salad to soak up the excess oil. It makes the lettuce soggy quickly. (this same exact thing happened at the Surprise location as well… so it is disappointing)
We asked the waitress who walked by our table and she clarified on the ingredient ratio for oil to vinegar and I think they need to rethink that OR be consistent and have 1 person make the stuff. Seriously. Consistency is the key.
I showed her my salad and poured out on a plate as to what actually my «dressing» looked like. She agreed it didn’t look good either. She was nice enough to offer me another salad, but I ate the one I had, so instead gave me a free lunch because I was unhappy about spending 10 dollars on my meal that half of it tasted like I was eating an oil sponge…

She then proceeded to tell me that I should ask for a spoon the next time and have the dressing on the side so I could take out what oil I didn’t want. What the heck??? If I have to do that, what is the point of paying for it? May as well eat a salad at home with my own dressing that I DON’T have to mess with or alter, right?
So, in my opinion if you are a salad lover and want to try their salads… don’t get the balsalmic dressing. Go for ranch. You are safe with that.
I am a fan of the pizza there. It is tasty. I love the Big Kahuna!!!
Also, I will have to say, they do care about their customer satisfaction, which is great and they don’t get defensive about any issues customers have so I gave them 4 stars for that alone. Thanks for reading…

Wow! It’s a 180 degree turn about here. I haven’t been here in over a year because of my last bad experience from rude employees. Today I was treated with friendly smiles and greets of welcome. They must’ve switched staff on me. These NYPD people were actually glad for the customers coming in. As I waited for my pickup, I observed the friendly staff greet customers walking in, being super polite, helpful and eager to wait on them. I was very impressed!
Nice job NYPD on McDowell + 7^th Ave!

We tried this location out of curiosity, having ice tea, fried zucchini and a combination pizza.
Service and attentiveness were very good.
The panko-​breaded fresh-​cut zucchini was delicious. Superior to the usual frozen, batter dipped zucchini of most places. The pizza was excellent. I was told the water is pH balanced to match the Catskill Mountain waters of New York City. The pizza arrived hot. The crust was thin, crispy, crunchy and beautifully browned. One cheese was real mozzarella, the real kind, the real stringy kind that makes pizza eating fun. The marinara sauce was subtle, the tomatoes fresh, the sausage flavored at my taste level. Pepperoni was pepperoni. Toward the end of the meal as the pizza cooled, more salt came through in the flavors.
All in all, delicious. We’ll be adding NYPD pizza to our pizza list.
The story of New York City’s water and stormwater system is very interesting. I suggest you give it a read. You may get some good ideas.

This is an updated review. After having a not so pleasant delivery experience I decided to give this place an second shot before leaving town.
Let me just say I retract my previous comparison of this establishments pizza to Sam’s Club pizza. The pizza here is far beyond warehouse pizza or most pizza. The key here is having it fresh out the oven. You can taste the difference in flavor when you bite in to a fresh pizza vs one which has been removed from the oven and makes it to you 45 minutes later.
Per my last review this business does offer great ingredients. From the homemade Mac & Cheese sauce to the freshly made pizza. I ordered the Brooklyn Family lunch special and an individual Wall Street Pizza with a side of wings.
Service was top notch for my visit and will definitely come back again

Lunch specials are not to bad. Loved the Antipasto salad. Perfect lunch portion. Lettuce cut to perfect bite size pieces. Everything in the salad from meat to olives were so good. The house dressing it is delicious. Friend had the calzone. Looked different. Well it looked more like a ricotta calzone more than anything. I might not ever try it. She was told there was mozarella and pepperoni and sausage but I really didnt see any of that going on. Oh and they do have New York water you can serve yourself. lol. That was pretty good with some lemon. So try to make it ther before the lunch rush and you may get some decent parking. They also have valet if you feel like parking right by the building and do not like to walk. I will be back!

Never again.
Pizza was nothing special like other times. Wings were screwed up, dry and cold.
Ordered extra ranch and some of them barely had any ranch in them. Thanks for the laugh!

We’ve eaten at this NYPD a few times over the past few years; it’s not our closest location, which is in Avondale. This is our favorite local chain.
Our experiences here have been good. The waitstaff is pleasant and attentive. When we visited this past Saturday, it was in the middle of the afternoon and quite empty. We were told our food would be out in about 20 – 25 minutes, and that was dead-​on accurate.
My husband loves the Mott Street Meat Lover Pizza; the meatballs are fresh and divine. I almost always get the small Soho Salad Pizza. This particular time, the crust was a touch tough, but it was still delicious and the salad had just the right amount of dressing mixed in.
Plus, we were there during happy hour, so my husband happily had their ale from tap.
The parking lot immediately behind the restaurant is small, but if you drive behind the building there is a larger connected lot.

Went here for a quick bite with the lady. I ordered the Meatball Sub with side of pasta and 6 wings, she ordered the Turkey Focaccia.
Let’s start with the wings, I went regular with a side of the hottest, they were really good! I would recommend them.
Both the meatball sub and her Turkey were good. They weren’t spectacular but they are worth the price you pay.
I would say the pasta salad on the side was very plain. It was a pesto tossed penne which is always safe however it would be nice if they spiced them up with let’s say… Black olives and feta, or any other safe combination. Otherwise they just taste plain jane.
I will be back for the pizza!
