text: Having grown up on Long Island and having lived in New York City I know my pizza And by pizza I mean New York style pizza Basil and Garlic Bistro is the closest thing I have had to New York pizza I wonder if they import the water for the dough It is seriously good The bottom is crispy and not burnt And the place has an air of authenticity in that the owners are bonafide New Yorkers complete with Brooklyn accents The ambience is ok it is a little dark and cramped but there is something so New York about that too Go and experience the cheesy deliciousness
