Dellprimo's Pizzeria in Yonkers Hits the Spot

Dellprimo’s Pizzeria is an Italian pizzeria/restaurant in Yonkers, NY on Central Ave. It recently had its grand opening, and I have been eager to give it a try.

Being that I live in Morris Park in the Bronx, I am very biased when it comes to traditional Italian cooking. My boyfriend, whowho has already eaten there many times, has been telling me about this pizzeria and claimed that I would love it (he knows how picky I am.) So, just yesterday I decided to cross my fingers, walk on in and order a slice.

To my surprise, he was right! (I’m usually the one who’s right… only about 100% of the time.)

The owner greeted us warmly when we arrived. He recognized my boyfriend, since he has been going there since they first opened. He took our order, personally brought our food to us and asked us if we needed anything else. It is a very small place, but they treat you as if you’re dining in an elegant restaurant.

The menu is priced well and, besides pizza, features traditional Italian dishes such as lasagna, baked ziti, and stuffed shells. Appetizers, and hot and cold sandwiches are also made to order.

For an Italian restaurant/pizzeria in Yonkers, I would have to say that this is the best I have been to. The pizza crust is thin and crunchy, and there are a wide variety of foods available. If you’re ever in the area, it is definitely a place to stop by to grab a quick bite. 

A slice of pizza will run you around $2.50, but if you get a fountain drink you can purchase a soda and a slice for $3.50. 

Their slogan is “Where Quality isn’t Expensive… It’s Priceless!” And they do live up to it.

For another take on Dellprimo’s Pizzeria, here is J.E.’s review from Yelp.com:

I've been ordering food here regularly for a few months now. After ordering from six or so pizzerias in the area, this is the best I've found so far. Their pizzas usually arrive on time and they're always hot. Greasy as hell, but delicious nonetheless. Granted, I live nearby, but I've had pizzas delivered over shorter distances that seem to have crossed a minefield in Siberia to get here, so this is always a plus (not that I don't admire the courage it takes to cross a battlefield in the tundra to deliver food, mind you).

Apart from the pizza, their menu seems pretty big, and just about everything I've ordered from here (pizzas, calzones, some sandwiches) was good enough to order a second or even a third time.If you're in Yonkers and you love greasy, delicious Italian food, then yeah, this is for you.
