Return of the New York Pizza Blog

I have had lousy luck in Myrtle Beach lately! Read about it at

I ate at a good Italian Restaurant on the south side (Garden City) that had good pie.

I'm not sure if this is it, but you might want to try Nico's of New York. http://www.myrtlebeachscrestaurants.com/Nicos-of-NY-Garden-City.html

Good luck and let me know what you find!

I am from the Princeton/Trenton New Jersey--Bucks County/Philly Pennsylvania area, and grew up on that area's pizza. We did not refer to it as "New York style." It was just pizza, and different places or cooks had their different little twists, but it was almost all good. I recall a place called "Carmine's" in Pentington Circle, New Jersey, that was just fantastic. My father was a huge pizza fan, we went out every week for it, and he always ordered extra tomatoe sauce. When I first encountered Chicago-style it was a horrifying and depressing experience. That's not pizze--there should be another name for it.

Anyway, if you are ever in South Bend, Indiana, check out Rocco's Pizza. Some of the best pizza I've ever had anywhere. Fantastic stuff, and while we're in the mid-west, the family is Italian and you don't need to forgive their pizza anything.

Man, I'm hungry!
