We've visited several NYPD locations over the years and it is one of our favorite pizza spots! \n\nI would typically rate NYPD 4 stars for the solid food and service. We recently moved out the San Tan area in Gilbert and so this location is new to us. The dining room is a bit small and doesn't feel quite as cozy as some of the other locations do - it is basically just a box-like retail space, hence the slightly lower rating.\n\nThat said, the food is very yummy! We almost always order the Cheesy Garlic Knots to start which are a nice way to tide over your appetite while you wait for the pizza. I'm usually surprised that they only give you one container of the marinara sauce with a 12 count of cheese knots, and also the sauce seems to be watered down. The server will generally give you an ETA on the pizza when you place your order and it is not generally shorter than about 20 minutes, so it is nice to have something to munch in the meantime. We've also ordered their buffalo wings several times which are delicious as well. The pizzas are NY style (obviously) with a delicious crust, flavorful sauce and great toppings. \n\nThey also have a variety of pastas available for those who don't want pizza - my grandmother loves the spaghetti and meatballs and I've had friends order the lasagna and chicken parmesan, all to good reviews.\n\nDESSERT: We've had the limoncello cake, zeppolis, and cannolis, all of which are yummy. However, I tend to avoid the zeppolis most times because by the time dessert rolls around, we'll have had pizza dough as an appetizer (Garlic Knots), entr\u00e9e (pizza) and dessert! \n\nService is generally nice and friendly, it can get a bit less attentive when they're busy. They do get VERY busy, particularly on Fridays and Saturdays. We've ordered carryout a few times from them and while they normally give a good estimate on the timeframe, the last time we were quoted 20-25 minutes. My husband arrived at the end of that timeframe and had to wait another 30 minutes for his pizza, which verged on ridiculous. However, this doesn't seem to be the norm so I don't hold it against them :)
