Restaurant: Posto Thin Crust
Location: 310 Second Avenue, at 18th St. (New York)
Type of restaurant: Pizza
We stipulated: Evan was down for the count in New York, having been hit hard with an ear infection. As a result, going out to eat was out of the question mid-week. Instead, I decided to grab a pizza and bring it back. But not just any pizza. I'd read about Posto on Chowhound, where foodies raved over the joint's thin crust. Posto was a few blocks from our hotel -- good enough for me.
What we ordered: First visit, the Fafandone (16 inch, $20): Marinara Sauce, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Sweet Italian Sausage, Fresh Mozzarella. Second visit, the ChixPotle (9 inch, $11.00): Marinara Sauce & Cheese, Shredded Chicken braised with our own Chipotle sauce with sautéed Vidalia Onions and Peppers, Fresh Pineapple, Cilantro. Also, Formaggio Bianco (9 inch, $10.00): Fresh Ricotta, Fresh Mozzarella, Spinach, Fresh Basil.
High point: The Fafandone -- wow. My favorite pizza in all of New York. Whatta combo, and with that cracker-thin crust, nearly perfect.
Low point: The other two pizzas we tried a few days later weren't quite as special -- shoulda stuck with the Fafandone.
Overall impression: A great NY spot: Located in a small home downstairs in the formerly rough 'hood, Posto is worth the trip.
Chance we'll go back: Next time we're in NYC.
