It's true! We found it! REAL New York style pizza AND wings!
It drove me crazy when I moved here and I couldn't find any thin crust pizza. Along with that, people here in Idaho don't know that wings go with pizza. Pizza and wings; wings and pizza... it's kind of a rule. They go together! They also don't know out here that there's more to pizza than all of those chains out there; Pizza Pie Cafe, Pizza Hut, Domino's, Little Caesar's... they just don't cut it.
So while Drew's parents were here, I Google searched for "NY style pizza" and up came:
I decided to check out their website (which you can do, too, by clicking on the name of the restaurant above) and I found that the looked pretty legitimate. So we tried them out! We ordered an 18'' half pepperoni/half cheese pizza and 20 wings - half buffalo/half barbecue. Holy moly. When I took a bite, I couldn't believe my taste buds! We had found home! Right here in Dinky Town, Idaho, we had found a taste of New York! Thank you Lucy's!
Of course, having NY style pizza in IDAHO means there were some things that weren't like home: the buffalo wings (which we had requested to be medium in heat) were very very mild - I don't think they had different levels of heat, the barbecue wings were spicier than the buffalo - barbecue back home is sweet, not spicy, and they didn't give a little baggie of celery or any blue cheese dressing to go with our wings - normally a must.
Overall, though, we were extremely satisfied.
Thanks to the Barrons visiting, we searched for good pizza. And thanks to Lucy's Pizzeria, we found a little taste of home.
