new pizza: Schmook's on Nassau and Manhattan
We were on the B61, heading back from Court Square and the 7 after the Mets game, heading for Vinnie's on Bedford Ave. Not because we wouldn't rather eat somewhere in the 11222, but because - well, nothing is OPEN in the 11222 of the pizza variety.
We were crossing Nassau Ave. when I saw something out of the corner at my eye, and gestured, "Let's get off here - I'll take the lumps if I'm wrong."
But I was right:
This is the spot between the banquet hall and the bodega - it's always been a pizza joint, but it was never open particularly late. Which is a wonder, given that THREE buses and one subway all converge on that corner. Schmook's is open until 11 Monday-Thursday, and until midnight on Saturday (and until a very generous 10pm on Sundays).
The slices are $1.50. A pie is $8.00. And delivery is free. The slices were fresh, hot and tasty. Not quite Vinnie's, but definitely a step up from the $10 pie they offer on Tuesdays at L.A. Italian Restorante up on our end of Manhattan Ave.
Their web site is straightforward and to the point.
