text: Ah the third Italian pizza establishment in just over a year in the same locationyou would think they might have learned from the mistakes of the last two but nonnFirst marginal food Maybe it will satisfy the taste buds of non Italians but certainly not those of New York Italians From the tangy somewhat bitter tomato sauce to the very tough like shoe leather tough eggplant parmigiana we were so disappointed The only bright spot in our meal was the Ceaser salad and the very friendly servernnAs for the owners now they have quite a lesson to learn in customer relations and interactions While looking at the menu we noticed one of the pizza entrees was called Astoria pizza We asked if that was so because an owner came from that city in NY The waitress said she thought so and would ask She did and when she came back to take our order she said yes he moved from there My husband said to tell him that we did also and told her briefly what area of Astoria and that we used to go to the local pizzerias there We asked if he was there tonight and she said Yes somewhere Now really the place is all of about square feet Needless to say we saw her telling him he was standing just behind our booth and close to the register Not once did he come over or acknowledge any of the customersnnWe took that as disinterest which most business owners can hardly afford nowadays So out we went after our so so meal vowing not to return to try the pizza which did not look too bad nnAnd of course we will be telling everyone we meet up with about our experience there We live in a community where going out to eat for most is a few times a week happening
