First timer posting here.
After a long evening of Little League baseball playoff games and hungrier than a shark, I decided to call up a new establishment to my neighborhood for some late eats. There were 6 starving people, 4 adults and 2 kids, my bottomless-pit sons.
They boys wanted pizza and the adults wanted sandwiches. So one pizza of pepperoni, green pepper and black olives, medium of course. Us grown-ups had fish sandwiches. We figured Italian heros were probably a specialty so we went for someting a little different for a Italian Pizza Place Well, was I suprised at the sandwiches. Foot-long soft and fresh bread. 3 pieces of lightly breaded fish portions, depending on the size, fresh crisp green lettuce, tomato, onion and optional mayo or tartar. About $8 and a large bag of fries for another $1.
The pizza went away quicker than a Saturn rocket headed to the moon. Got one bite. Very New York and ingredients were fresh and just the right amount of cheese. Asked my husband, who by the way is from the New England area, and he was smitten to say the least. He raved after that. From what I understand, there are some new menu items coming soon.
I had wondered where my significant other had picked up a very large pizza one night. I mean the box had to be 2 1/2 feet across. He explained the pizza in the east coast comes that way. But the crust was such that he said there was no need to fold it, although it is fun to eat it that way sometimes. That night my 12 yr. old ate 6 slices of the large pizza. Yikes!!
I really like Hero's. Family freindly, really good food, a bar with happy hour and open late, 1AM Fridays & Saturdays. Parking is good too. Spaces in front, out back and along Watterson trail.
