Adrienne's Pizzabar - 4/10

New York, NY - Restaurant Review by Vince Desi

Food: Mini Personal Pie and Sicilian. We ordered their classic thin Sicilian like pie, half pepperoni half sausage. It looked good, but was soggy and had no crispyness to it at all and the pepperoni was sliced paper thin.

The sausage was just loose bits spread evenly throughout. Every slice I picked up including the corners (my favorite-I’m a crust guy) was soft and floppy. I asked the waitress if the pie is normally crisp of soft, she “it’s usually crispy”, so then I asked if the cook tonight was the same cook as last night and she replied ‘No, the cooks change”. Case closed, eating at a restaurant or pizzeria shouldn’t be like going to Vegas, it should be more like going to Church, the statues are always the same, just like God.

The Place: Downtown Manhattan near Wall St, a very busy inside and shared benches outside, and I do mean shared-there are numerous other bars all sharing the same old street cars no longer allowed. The hostess and the waitresses were all cute and polite. I think the name says it all ‘Adrienne’s Pizza BAR, key word being BAR.

COMMENT: If you want to have a drink in a busy social scene around pizza go for it, if you want to eat great pizza... THIS IS NEW YORK, walk down any street and get a slice.
