New York is known for its pizza. Ginormous slices, oozing with cheese and tomato sauce and all the right toppings, with a super thin, crunchy crust. Growing up in a small town in Texas, good pizzas joints were few and far between. So when I finally landed in NYC, I immediately started sniffing around for some of their world-famous pies.
I sampled slices everywhere; from ritzy restaurants like Una Pizza Napoletana and Patsy’s Pizzeria, to greasy Mom-and-Pop places, to those $1-a-slice joints like Two Brothers. While noshing on gourmet pizza at Una Pizza Napoletana was a delectable experience, it was also detrimental one. Detrimental to my wallet, that is. One 12” pie could set me back twenty dollars. So Two Brothers became my staple. They were located just down the street from my internship, so during my lunch break I hopped in the always-lengthy line. I could shove the “brothers” a crumpled George Washington extracted from the depths of my purse and get a full belly out of it. But I was also doing without enmities—their pizza was usually cold, and there was no place to sit or stand in the tiny shop. So I usually found a place on the street where I could wolf down the slice without getting jostled by too many walkers. I longed for a happy medium—a nice restaurant atmosphere and an affordable price.
Fortunately, I’ve since discovered Metro G Cafe. I could always head downtown to their location on 21 Waverly Place when I got a hankering for pizza. The Cafe serves what I would call “gourmet fast food”. This may seem like an oxymoron, but Metro G Cafe pulls it off skillfully and sumptuously. You can get a quick, delicious meal at a great price. Try their wraps, salads, and of course, their pizzas.
