My buddy is moving from Dallas, but wanted to make sure to hit Olivella's before he leaves. I had no problem wit dat.
^The guys working in front of the 1000º pizza oven.
Proprietor Charles Green opened his terrific pizza joint in '07. He partnered with New York pizza man Salvatore Olivella, who came down here and trained the peeps the right way - even my brother from Brooklyn eats here when visiting on the holidays.
^ The Bufalina D.O.C. w/ Sausage: Mozzarella di Bufala, Tomato Sauce, Basil.
^The Snow White w/ Sauce: Ricotta, Mozzarella, Oregano, Garlic, Olive Oil. (That's Charles on the right in front of his cozy, welcoming place.)
This is good stuff, people. Check it out!
, it was paid for with Cold Hard Cash, and that's that.

AC, I knew this one would call you out! :^)
...and after NYE, I need to wait to reset my wine palate - it's still in afterglow. Next time, for sure!

Despite the outrageous awesomeness of your lineup, Brad, I'd have to side with AC. After all, his wines were Italian.

SB, I can't hear you... my head is still awash in Le Montrachet.

Patsy Grimalldi's makes this place look like CiCi's pizza!!! Grimalldi's has better ingredients and quality! Olivella's is way too inconsistent with service and quality. Not worth the 20 dollars for a pie. Sorry Brad, you are wrong on this one.

Harsh! - yes Grimaldi's makes a good pie as well. I dig the vibe at Olivella's, myself. Now let's hear from the Campania faction!

yeah, your NYE wine lineup did rock, bro'

Sometimes inconsistent, but when they're on, they're on. Do you know when they're going to open the one in Victory?
