Mediocre vegetarian spinach pie. Should have gotten the one with meat. I've only had Greek spinach pie, which is actually a pie with flaky crust. This was in a pocket, more like a calzone. Not what I expected.
Tiramisu was good though, and they have free WiFi. Pizza looked good but I didn't have any. Maybe next time.
Prices are good, everything was reasonably priced and they have a good menu.
Service was good.
I'll be back to try them again.
First off, I love this place. I came here a while ago while I was scouting locations for a movie, so of course, I was taken here by some of my Ukrainian co-workers on the film on one of my first nights in town. At first I wondered why they would bring me to a restaurant called "New York Street Pizza" when I was from America and all I really wanted was to eat plate after plate of authentic Ukrainian food. But after seeing the menu I was very pleased. "New York Street Pizza" is Far More than a Pizza restaurant. There are so many fantastic looking Ukrainian dishes here, as well as Sushi, Steaks, delicious looking Soups and Salads, an amazing selection of creatively prepared Vegetables from Grilled to Butter-Sautéed to Baked in a sauce that I just wanted to eat them all. But before I could do that we had to order a couple of round of some truly unique and creative Cocktails.
My Ukrainian hosts pretty much ordered family style for all of us at the table, with a few exceptions of dishes that I just had to try, like the Beet Borscht, the grilled Sausage platter (with many small fatty yummy sausages plus sour pickles), plus the Spinach & Feta-Cheese pie (that was more like a Calzone than a Spanakopita), and finally a hot vegetable dish of Green Beans and more all baked into a creamy cheesy Casserole. Of course, I shared all of the dishes with everyone else because it just ended up being so much food. Luckily the studio gave us an expense account so we weren't too worried.
But the feast wasn't over yet. My co-workers also ordered a couple of Salads to share (which were excellent), plus a Sushi Boat (with two types of Caviar Sushi), plus a couple of other Soups (one was thinner and more clear with lots of chopped vegetables and some meat, and the other soup was thicker and greenish - and it also ended up being my favorite of the soups). They also got a couple of Pizzas so we each could try a slice (one had Ham and Salami, sliced Tomatoes, - and the other was All White). Both were very good. Also, they knew that I loved fish so the ordered a grilled Mackerel with Mashed Potatoes. Those may have been the BEST mashed potatoes that I have ever had.
Finally we had desserts, which I could only nibble on because I was so full. But I must give honorable mentions to the Peach Tart, the multi layered Cake & Custard Torte, the Tiramisu, and lastly an amazingly rich coffee cup full of some Dark-Chocolate Mousse (of which I could only have a tiny taste). There was also a plate of sliced fruit in a sauce, but I couldn't even taste it. But I have to admit, overall, this was one of the Best and most Fun meals I ever had.
Aside from the food here, one of the best things about New York Street Pizza is its small but well appointed street-side outdoor dining area, with its big shade-umbrellas and its lively Cosmopolitan feel. It is a great spot to have a drink with a friend, smoke a cigarette, and people-watch. I really enjoyed my time in this town. Slava Ukraine.
