Pazza Notte

OK first things first. No whining (or unsubscribing;) about this being the first post in a month, and then NOT having it be SF-related. We’re gonna start cranking out local slop real soon! Oh yeah, Happy New Year!

So, do ya wanna kick-ass thin crust pizza? Well DO YA PUNK? Look at me when I’m talking to you! Hey, outside of Napoli itself, NYC is home to the thin crust ‘za. Ya got Ray’s, Jimmy’s, Johnnys’ whatever. But Pazza Notte is The Don. He kicks the others’ scrawny asses.

We discovered this cute little spot the last time we were in nyc, and scurried back over there as soon as we got into Manhattan last night, after 36 hours in a little place called Crazyville (aka Janine’s hometown).

P-N is located on 6th between 55th and 56th in Midtown. Nice place, not too fancy but nice and comfy. This ain't no pizza joint - it’s an Italian restaurant but the only thing we’ve had is their thin crust ‘za. It’s nice and dark, good vibe and usually pretty crowded, with lots of booths and …wait for it…a bar! ☺ Which we bellied up to of course.

So we get a couple pies, a Margarita and a Fungi, figuring we’d just have some of each since we really only wanted one ‘za, but they don’t do ½ and ½ (and they don’t do slices either, but there’s no way you only want one slice).

We each polish off Piece 1 like a pair of rabid coyotes. Not a word uttered between us. Second slice? Slightly more appreciation of the spices, sauce, and killer paper-thin crust. We may have even taken the time out to mutter “Mmm. This stuff good.” or something like that, we both had our mouths full. Then we do the swap – I hand over a slice of marg for a slice of ‘shroom. It’s like Lather. Rinse. Repeat. We each polish off two slices of the other pronto. Then we start to pick around, all nice and polite. Even sharing. “Here have some more of mine. Please. I could never finish it.” “Thanks, sweetie, here have some of mine too…” Then suddenly we’re both down to the last slice and it’s like we both go Cybil: “What the hell are you looking at?! Keep your f’ing grimy paws off my pizza!!” And that’s just how good this stuff is.

They also have some 2-1 drink special that for some reason we didn’t seem to qualify for, maybe it’s only if you drink well booze. Anyhoo I think it happens every night and runs until close. Kick-ass TC Za and Twofers? Woo Hoo!
