This weekend's venture doesn't take us to far from home, but to one great pizza. Little York Tavern isn't your typical pizzeria, but man do they know how to do pizza. We arrived to a full parking lot and a an outdoor patio full of party goers. (There was a private event going on.) We adventured inside were there was a sign to seat your self, so we did. The first booth we sat in had some design issues...the table was attached to the wall a little crooked...Big D's big belly no go. After moving to the booth across the way our waitress promptly brought out menus and introduced herself. This menu had everything from pizza to fish dinners, but we all know why I am here....it ain't for the fish. We order a large 15" pizza with our signature, pepperoni and extra cheese, an order of hot wings, and garlic cheese toast. As we waited on our food we had a look around. Décor was sort of vintage Americana. They had a lot of pictures of vegetables and farm animals on the walls. Not sure if I am right but I think the pictures had something to do with the proclamation on their menus "homegrown pizzas"....I don't know for sure. They also had a small arcade for the kids, or at least for the kids at heart. There are bikers out front with pitchers of beer, but families enjoying their evening inside. This place seems to have something for everyone.
Grub time! Our garlic bread came out first. I would have preferred it come with the pizza, but I didn't request, so it is what it is. It was yum! I thick layer of mozzarella over a soft, warm, buttered Italian breaded. I tried to wait for the pizza but I couldn't. I offered half to the wife, even though I really wanted to eat it all myself.
Here comes our pizza. Brick oven perfection! It has thin, super crispy crust, that has been dusted with garlic salt. The edges were just slightly charred and this seemed to make them absolute heaven in our book. My wife kept telling me to leave the edge pieces for her, normally the middle piece are her preferred. When I picked up the first piece, it gave me exactly what I was looking for, the infamous cheese stretch. All the way from the pie to the plate and them some! Their sauce was a very pure sauce, you could actually taste the fresh tomatoes. It just had a wonderful natural, smooth flavor. The pepperonis were a little different, good, but different. They were very thin sliced, giving them an almost, ham like texture, but still retained a good spicy pepperoni flavor. I guess I should mention the wings, since we did order them. They were so so. The crunchy thin breading was good, but there just wasn't a lot of flavor. Maybe we should have went with a different wing sauce. They also came with ranch sauce, my wife and I usually love ranch....most of this ranch was leftover. I thought it tasted like tarter sauce, all my wife could say was it just isn't good.
I think we will defiantly be coming back here for seconds though. Had a wonderful experience in a lively up beat environment. From bikers to boomers, they had something for everyone. Good food, good experience, friendly staff, makes Big D a happy camper.
