NY 54 Pizza & Ristorante

Zero stars. Really disappointed at the «deal» we got for pizza. Pizza is marginal at best and felt we got sold a bill of goods as we spent way too much for what we got.

I can verify Martin’s review, the phone number has been disconnected. That’s a shame, because they had great pizza.

This place is now closed as of nov 2, 2012

10÷28÷12 CLOSED. Phone disconnected.

We go to NY 54 at least twice a month. We love to buy the 18″ thin crust pizza, and since there are four of us, we have it made with different toppings on each quarter. They are always happy to make the pizza to our order. Also, they have a good selection of draft beers — I highly recommend giving those a try. I did try their margarita, but it did not have enough alcohol content for my liking, although the taste was excellent. There is also a great selection of desserts, which I always buy and take some home for later!

Visited NY 54 with kids on Saturday for some pizza and hoping to watch some football. We asked to sit near the television to watch the game. All was well until another customer requested tennis. Yeah… tennis. We asked the server to return to football but since another customer requested tennis… We watched tennis. So my advice is if you want to watch football I would recommend another place. But if you want to watch live tennis… THIS IS YOUR PLACE! Food was ok.

Great food and great service, what else is there to say? Will definetly come back, Thanks!

I’ve driven by this place for a while now and I finally stopped in for lunch. We got there right at 11:00 so they weren’t busy. The lady at the counter was friendly and heIpfull and the décor is a bunch of cool NYC poesters. I was thinking pizza but they have a helluva good looking sandwich menu so I had to try one. You can always judge a place by their club sandwich and let me tell you that they have a good one. It was fresh and delicious. It comes on a hoagie roll with the perfect ratio of ingrediants (I hate it when you get a club and its three pieces of bread). I will be going back sometime to try one of there specialty sandwiches.

I first tried NY 54 a couple of months ago and have been hooked ever since. Their pizza is just want you want in New York style pizza — great dough, tomato-​y sauce, gooey cheese. Their pasta dishes are terrific, too. The eggplant parm is the best I have had in the East Valley. And the bread that they use for hoagies tastes like the deli bread back East that few places out West seem to get right.
They really care about customer service, too. They generally don’t deliver, but when I was having a party last Saturday night, I ordered 5 pizzas and they agreed to deliver. The pizzas arrived on time, hot and delicious.

Oooh I love the garlic knots! This place introduced me to them and I’m hooked! And so cheap for a big portion! I’ve only had their calzones, because you get a huge meal for a decent price! They’re so good! All the stuffing and melted cheese — mmmmm. Only thing I had an issue with is how they run things during lunch. Why can’t they have a server just like for dinner? Very confusing and quite silly.

Pizza and wings are okay… nothing to rave about. I ordered a salad with chicken and it was terrible. I’ve been twice and probably won’t go back.

Sunday evening and we were going to go check out the new Target and since NY 54 is just across the parking lot we stopped in. Our server, Jessica, was great. She told us that they had Happy Hour specials with $ 2 off appitizers and specials on imported and domestic beers and wine. Wow, Happy Hour on the weekend! YAY! Most places don’t offer that at all. So we ordered some mozerlla sticks. They were really tasty and my daughter loved them. The pizza here is very good. A crisp crust on the bottom, fresh toppings and just the right amount of sauce. I’m really not sure why there are not more reviews for this gem. People you have got to try this place!!!

Came here after church on Sunday night and the food and service was great! We split the meatball sub and chicken parmigiana sub and had garlic knots as well. Highly recommend this place, we’ll be back for sure!

I’m surprised by the glowing reviews that are on here about this place. I bought a Groupon for this place based on the good reviews. The Bf and I made the trek down there tonight from mesa. Well… the place is nothing to look at, just a little store front that kind of looks like an order at the counter kind of place but there is table service. So I ended up ordering the spinach ravioli and the BF got the ‘park place’ sandwich. My ravioli came with a salad, and I got a caesar. It tasted bland and like the dressing came out of a bottle. I wouldn’t recommend it. My dinner also was supposed to come with bread… it never came. My raviolis were fine in flavor, they came out warm… not hot… and seemed like they came from a package, not fresh. The sauce was a standard marinara. The portion was not overly large, not ridiculously small though either. The BF was informed that they were out of all breads except the standard sesame seed. His sandwich was basically swiss, roast beef, and turkey. The bread was hard and the sandwich was bland. I could have had better at the grocery store. Since we still had money left on the groupon, we decided to order the tiramisu. It was supposedly home made. Well if it was… someone who knows nothing about tiramisu made it. It was extremely dry and had no coffee flavor at all. In fact, it tasted like dry cinnamon… not what a tiramisu should taste like. Also, the ‘mascarpone’ part tasted more like frosting (?). This was one of the worst tiramisus I have ever had. So, needless to say, I won’t be back.

This place is just ok. Nothing great. I don’t think it’s much different than the restaurant that was here before it. The best thing about the previous one was they had one really great waitress. Unless she just had the night off it looks like she’s not working here so I can’t give it more than 2 stars. I had hoped this place would be better but the pizza here is still just mediocre. I probably won’t be back.

My friend and I went to NY 54, shortly after it opened, to take pictures of the place for an ad. The owner was very friendly and super helpful in getting us all we needed for the pictures. He also gave us a multitude of dishes including garlic knots, a sub sandwich kind of deal, and of course, pizza. All of which were delicious. The food isn’t super greasy, but it is heavy. Make sure you’ve worked up a hefty appetite before you come here. Overall, good food, good vibe, good place.

Came to know about this place through Doozy of a Deal. This place is just minutes from where I live but I didn’t know about it. It had only recently opened.
I am a value/​deal hunter. Each bite reminds me of why this is such a good place — quality cheeses, soft and wonderful bread, great flavor. I am certain the food is well worth the cost here. I’ll be back, doozy or not.
I am vegetarian and there are enough different options to try each time.

This place is a little bit of a mixed bag, but the pizza is definitely good. The location and décor is upscale for a pizza joint, and they have a liquor license.
I’m from NJ so I’ve got strong opinions on pizza. I’d say that this place is a little better for pizza than Buono’s on Alma School was and just a hair behind LaFamiglia on Warner. This is classic NY street pizza so it looks like Sbarro’s but tastes much better. This is not what Grimaldi’s serves which I consider to be a tomato pie (awesome). I’ve also tried the chicken parm sandwich which was just ok, and kind of small. I shared it with my two-​year old and had to stop by Burger King on the way out of the plaza to top him off with a few chicken nuggets. The chicken parm at Buono’s was better, cheaper and used to feed two adults.
They have some very nice early-​bird specials (14″ pizza for $ 8.50) but unfortunately their staff doesn’t seem to be aware of the specials. I’ve ordered this twice and both times the person I spoke to was unaware of the special and confusion ensued. I used to work in a pizza place, you tape the specials and menu to the wall near the phone so the person taking the orders can verify the specials. Come on guys, this isn’t rocket science. The good news is that everyone I’ve met there so far has been very pleasant. I think that I met the owner (seemed to be in-​charge, thick NYC accent) and he was very pleasant as-​well.
I hope that they straighten-​out their training issues because their pizza is quite good and they are nearby. I look forward to trying some other items on the menu. I haven’t had stuffed shells in ages, I’ll have to try that next.

Hands down the best pizza joint I’ve been to since moving here from Long Island 16 years ago!!! Started off with a knish which was fantastic (and so hard to find out here in the desert). The pizza was perfect New York style pizza– not too greasy, not too doughy, and cooked just long enough so the crust was crispy, not soggy. We sampled a hero and calzone as well, and the sauce (i.e. «gravy») was amazing! The only disappointment was that they were out of their crumb cake, a favorite of mine, but the owner said they ship it in from Brooklyn and it would be coming in later in the week. Looking forward to going back and trying it along with the pasta dishes on the menu.

I was a regular at the original NY54 and was super excited to hear about the restaurant. I brought the family on opening day… the atmosphere was great… the people were so friendly and attentive… and the food was fabulous.
