I recommend: Spinach Artichoke dip Wall Street with mushrooms Pizza Blanca with spinach Brooklyn Family(always a hit if you have a group who can’t decide) We’ve ordered from NYPD for family parties. We’ve eaten in. Just yesterday I snagged their lunch special of a slice and a small salad(Caesar with anchovies… yes anchovies). Everything is always a solid four stars. Consistency FTW.

***Update 1/6/16*** Went in today with a co-worker and placed our orders to eat there(that way I could make sure that my order was correct). Food was warm not hot when delivered to the table, not a great sign… Although it wasn’t hot it still tasted good. When we were almost finished with our meal, I went to the front to place an order to go for a co-worker and the gal who took my order(Claire) wanted my name which I told her what it was but that I just wanted it delivered to my table since it was for a co-worker. She said so you want to eat it here? I said no it is for a co-worker who is not with us and I told him I would bring him something back. She then said oh ok I’ll bring it to you when it is ready so he can eat it here. Seriously! No ma’am I need the order TOGO because he isn’t with us, I am taking it back to the office for him since that is where he is. Finally the lightbulb went off and she understood. Order was delivered to our table and I checked to make sure there was ranch for the salad(container wasn’t even half full). There was no parmesan or red peppers for the slice of pizza and no napkins or silverware. So I went up front and asked for these items and some additional ranch for the salad. Needless to say I won’t be going back to this location(Raintree and 101) because they need some major training. ***end of update*** Went in today for the lunch special to go, placed order and then a group of guys came in and placed their orders to eat there. They all ordered lunch specials as well and I’m patiently waiting for my to go orders and these guys started getting their food delivered to their table. I saw what I thought was my order sitting under the heat lamps and nobody is even looking at them. Finally I was asked what I was waiting for and I told them the lunch specials I had ordered 15 minutes ago so they start scrambling to find my orders. Low and behold it was exactly what I thought the order had been sitting there for at least 5 minutes. The styrofoam for the garlic knots was melted and I’m sure the pizza slices were cold. They offered to reheat my slices and I told them no thank you I would like a new order completed so the food would be hot when I got back to the office. No problem they would do that right now. So finally it gets done and I leave and get in my car, the manager rushes out and hands me a card for a free lunch combo which was nice of her to do. I get back to the office and my pizza slice was WRONG. Not happy with the service received and probably won’t even go back for the«free» special because they will probably make that wrong too. Very disappointed… Maybe it is my fault because I didn’t check the order before I left, but come on they already had the order completed before so they couldn’t double check it? Wow!

I ordered a calzone on Sunday night(takeout). I am hard to please when it comes to calzones. By far and away the absolute I’ve had in PHX. So good, I had to try their pizza out the next night(delivery). Delivery was quick and food was great! My waistline isn’t happy, but my tastebuds sure are!

I had my daughter’s cheer team holiday party there last night and the food and service was wonderful! I had spoken with the manager several days earlier and asked if tables, etc. could be set up in a certain way and she was very accommodating. When I arrived to set up everything was like I asked. The servers were patient and professional. We had 24 girls and many parents so it was bit chaotic and on top of that, the rest of the restaurant was unusually busy for the evening. The staff stayed calm and friendly and our food was served in a timely manner. The kids loved the pizza and salad and the adults enjoyed many dishes off of the main menu. Overall it was a great experience and we had a wonderful holiday party! Thank you NYPD!

Kids liked the traditional pie, and I loved the gluten free option! I did have them bake the gluten free pizza in the regular oven as recommended by another review. We will be back Thanks Phil G for your review, it helped

Best Gluten-Free crust! I’ve been trying to find a good gluten-free pizza and I finally found it. However, I had my pizza baked in their regular oven at my waiter Austin’s suggestion even though they have a separate gluten-free oven. The crust was nice and chewy unlike most places where it’s hard. Happy camper!

Being from the East coast and just recently coming back after a NY visit, I was craving some good Brooklyn pizzeria type/style pizza and a friend recommended I check this place out. 2 stars because I got good customer service and it was something other than typical chain pizza but it just didn’t cut it. I got 3 slices, each were huge like NY style: Buffalo chicken, BBQ chicken, and cheese. Cheese: Worst one, literally tasted like a reheated Ellios frozen pizza. Would not get again BBQ chicken: Not bad, flavor was there and the crust was soft and chewy but again lacked that crispy pizzeria feel. Buffalo chicken: Best out of the three, had a good kick that wasn’t too strong with celery pieces, and again the soft flowery crust. Overall: If you’re craving a different style of pizza than pizza hut/dominos this will do the trick, however, in terms of taste and NY feel-wise, it doesn’t cut it honestly.

Excellent Blanco Pizza! The Ricotta is made on site and amazing ! You almost want a bowl of it! Their sliced mozzarella slices with Balsemic sauce are to die for!

So let’s talk New York style pizza. I grew up in Jersey, so I can’t help shaking my head at places like NYPD for calling their pizza«New York style». Having grown up on the *real* stuff, I can tell you that NYPD is closer than others(say, for instance, Dominos), but not there yet. Truth be told, I’ve yet to find a good New York style pizza anywhere outside of the east coast, so NYPD’s effort should not be entirely dismissed.(The closest equivalent I’ve found in AZ to date is Venezia’s Pizzeria.) But back to NYPD. They get two stars for their pizza, a third star for a really delicious calzone(made the right way with real, quality ricotta), and they get that extra fourth star for service. Every time I’ve been, service has been on point. At the end of the day, I’ve learned that to hunt down New York style pizza in the southwest might well be a fruitless effort. But what I do still hope to be able to find in a restaurant(regardless of type) is good service. And NYPD has always delivered. If you haven’t been, NYPD is a neat place to dine in and also an easy option for ordering out. I’d still recommend them, and I still intend to eat here on occasion, too.

I would not even give this business a half star. I ordered online and waited over an hour and a half for delivery. When I finally called the delivery service back I was told that the restaurant had talked to me and cancelled my order because they were not taking on line delivery orders at this time. I did not speak to any one at the restaurant. Thanks for keeping a customer waiting… will not return or order ever again.

Great options here, carry out, delivery or sit in. We started off with garlic knots, yum! The wings are good as well, nothing too hot for the sauce but still good. Their blue cheese is better than the ranch. Great options on the pizza toppings. I would get margarita, pesto or the vegginizza. Gluten free crust is so tasty! Liz was great and provided amazing service among great recommendations!

I recently was unhappy with a delivery experience but I spoke with her and she made it up to me I will definitely be coming back. I am happy they cared enough to contact me and take care of the problem. Thanks again.

The pizza here is truly mediocre. The crust is really bland and floury, the cheese and toppings oozed grease all over my plate, and the service was non-existent. I had ordered water to start off with, then nobody came back around to see what else I wanted. Also, the pizzas here take 30 min to cook, which is pretty ridiculous. I have been to other places nearby that have much better pizza and that only take 10 – 15 min to cook. NYPD: Sorry, but you fail at pizza making.

We love NYPD. My girlfriend thinks they have the best gluten free pizza and I love their eggplant parmigiana sandwich. The other night I picked up our regular order and when I got home we discovered that there was an error in the usual pizza toppings. After dinner we called NYPD to let them know. Without batting an eyelash the NYPD staff person apologized and said they wanted to send us a coupon for a free pizza the next time we ordered from them. In a couple of days a $ 20 gift certificate came in the mail. WOW!!! Talk about great customer service. Thanks NYPD!

NYPD never disappoints. I got the Brooklyn pizza and in a word«amazing». I’m not sure what makes it so good. It’s pepperoni, sausage, basil, cheese, and sauce. I never order anything else.

Very nice atmosphere. Pizza orders are about 30 minutes. Cheese knots were very good. Made my own pizza, place has no beef(hamburger). Dont know if thats local or not as I’m from Texas. Reg size water cups not child size. Service was a bit slow as it seemed one waitress for the lunch rush. All in all recommend.

I think this is a great place. I have been there a half dozen times and the service is always good, as is the food. They have a great selection of specialty pizzas. Usually, I do not get garlic knots out because they are too greasy, but not here. They are delicious, without being greasy. This has become my regular pizza lunch place. Someday, I have to try it for dinner.

I like to come to this NYPD for some lunch. My thing to get is a slice of Wallstreet and a small Greek salad. It’s like $ 6 and change for the combo. I recommend dipping your crust in the Greek dressing. Probably better for you than ranch. Oh but if they don’t have any Wallstreet prepared, don’t make the mistake of ordering it anyways. What they do is grab a slice of pepperoni and then stick all the missing toppings on that thing. I think this is a typical thing to do, but there are so many meats on a Wallstreet that it doesn’t end up tasting right since the toppings aren’t baked in the right way.
