Hero's New York Pizza Pub..more than N.Y. Pie

Being a transplanted Long Island girl, I was skeptical (to say the least) about a NY style pizzeria opening in my adopted hometown. ...my husband has his eye on a white pizza before this weekend is through.

Went to Hero's tonight for the second time. Tried a slice again, cheesesteak and the house salad. Everything was good. Pretty busy tonight also.

I stopped in at 2:00 this afternoon for a quick slice. Choice was cheese or pepperoni.

Crust was thin and fairly crisp, better than Spinelli's (which I find way undercooked), but it lacked flavor. It had more texture than taste. I was really disappointed in that; it just didn't register in my mouth.

Proportion of cheese-to-crust was right (no sog factor), sauce evenly distributed and not too sweet. The pepperoni was standard-issue.

Overall, I thought it was okay but nothing to write home about. Maybe the 2:00 slot was a factor. I'll return at a busier time and try a variation.

what kind of flavor is bread and cheese supposed to have, try adding some salt

umm, bread flavor and cheese flavor?

I think it's fair to say that pizza should be flavorful.

To push it a little harder, there's Blue Dog, and then there's Wonder Bread. There's Rebluchon or Humboldt Fog cheese, and then there's Velveeta.

There <i>is</i> a difference.

And that being said, I've loved the pizza at Hero's. I'm thinking Brian ought to go back at lunch time.

even bad cheese has flavor.

Still cannot stop my rave about the Hero's Wings and Fried Pickle Spears, They went very well with my very large Chicken Salad. Large portions on the chicken strips and a deep bowl of salad.

I'm thinking Brian ought to go back at lunch time.

You mean Sonya?

I really like Hero's also, been three times so far.
