I remember a Gino's in the Bronx in the late 70's. Best burger was called "The Sirloiner".

Burg-Up!

Both times I've been there--not enough sauce. And the crust IS very dense. Gimme Louie and Ernie's any day

Checked out Frank Pepe's in Yonkers for the second time (this time with my daughter) this week and enjoyed it much better than the first time, when it had just recently opened. Like the nice clean look of the place, and the nice waitress that gave us this bit of Frank Pepe folklore:
All the places must be essentially the same--same menu, same set-up (since the original has no booth 3, then new Frank Pepe's will not have a booth 3).
Nice thin, well-done, chewy crust, great sauce, generous toppings (the peperoni was primo), quick efficient service adds up to a nice addition to my usual pizza haunts.

PS My old friend Antonio, from Antonio's on McClean Avenue in Yonkers (until he got busted for selling coke like the guy last week--no wonder Antonio was pouring sweat all the time--I thought it was the brick oven)
told me in no uncertain terms "It has to be an Italian that make-a the pizza".

I went to this place in hopes of getting a Margherita slice, as flyers had been placed where I work stating that this was an option. I went after work and the pizza and the food in the steaming table behind the counter was was so dried out that two different groups of people walked out while I was there. I should have done the same as the "Margherita" was just a regular, pedestrian slice, and a lousy one at that.

Funny I was at Johnny's a few weeks ago ans was gonna tout this place. They turn out a great pie but the service, at least in the pizzaria half, can be a little surly. definitely worth a vist, though, if you're in the area. It's right off the cross-westchester expressway.

There used to be a small chain in Florida, called Dino's, that made their Sicialian pie this way. it was actually quite good, though their regular pizza was not. it was soon taken over and renamed Brooklyn's, at least the main location we used to frequent. Brooklyn's, sorry to say, is a disgrace to their name.
