Johnny's New York Style Pizza






Last night I was in the mood for pizza and wanted to try another place since my wife is a pizza snob (love you), and we both wanted to see how the pizza places measure up to our love of NY pizza. I decided to check out a few in the area and chose Johnny's New York Style Pizza to put them to the test. I also decided to try them as they deliver in my area, especially with the storms that hit us.

Bruce Jackson was 16 years old when he worked for the original Johnny's Pizza in Manlius, NY. He saw an opportunity to build his own and decided to run with it. In three years, he opened a Johnny's Pizza just outside the Syracuse University campus with his younger brother, Rosario.

He ran and operated the business for 6 years before deciding to move with his new business partner to the Atlanta, GA area. They opened their doors in 1977, and one year later, they opened a second store. They began franchising their stores in 1994.

I will begin my review by noting how easy it was to navigate their website and place an order. It allowed me to figure out what we wanted with my son running around the living room with his toys. Since the food was delivered, I will modify my review to incorporate ease of use on the website, menu selection, delivery time, and of course how well the food tasted.


Website : 
Score: 9 out of 10
Comment: This was really easy to navigate. It is upfront about how long it would take for your food to be made and delivered. It also has a nice breakdown of each category instead of a constant scrolling to see appetizers, subs, pizzas. etc.

Menu Selection:
Score: 9 out of 10
Comment: I found there are a lot of options to choose from, not just in the category of pizza, but also salads, subs, Italian food, and appetizers.

Delivery Time:
Score: 8.5 out of 10
Comment: I was scared at first. When I placed my order online, I was told it would take an hour and a half for the food to be delivered. This was a bit alarming, but with the bad weather, I felt it was very possible it could take that long. What I liked, it was upfront about how long it would take, and the food was delivered twenty minutes sooner than they originally estimated.

Food: Chicken Alfredo Pizza
Score: 9 out of 10
Comment: It was hard to describe how good this pizza was, but I will give it a try. The bacon was nice and crisp. The chicken wasn't dry. The alfredo sauce was delicious and really pulled the other flavors together. My one note was the pizza dough wasn't as much as I would have liked it to be. However, the crust itself was perfect.

Overall
Score: 8.9
Comments: I have to say I was very impressed with Johnny's New York Style Pizza. I enjoyed their specialty pie for Chicken Alfredo Pizza and look forward to putting them to my pepperoni pizza test. My wife was a bigger fan of the food than I was, and complimented it a few times while we ate.

Village Tavern

This past weekend was my wife's birthday. I wanted to take her out somewhere nice and the Village Tavern was a place she kept telling me she wanted to go back to since my brother-in-law's birthday back in January. So we decided to go back and was just as happy this time as we did the previous event. 1555 Rainwater Dr Alpharetta, GA 30009 770-777-6490 https://www.villagetavern.com/ About the Village Tavern The original Village Tavern opened in Winston Salem, NC in 1984. The concept was to serve the best food at affordable prices using the freshest ingredients. Drink: Apple Knocker (Knob Creek Bourbon, Apricot Brandy, Crisp Green Apple, and Ginger Beer) Score: 8.5 out of 10 Comments: This was a strong drink. I mean, it was enough where two or three of these will knock you on your butt. You could taste the Brandy more than any other flavors. It paired well with the rest of the liquor which made the drink enjoyable. Appetizer: Baked Brie

Cookout-Review

3626 Mundy Mill Road Gainesville, GA 30504 https://cookout.com/ For over a year, I kept hearing about this place and how good the food and shakes were. Every time I tried to go, something or someone always prevented me from going. I finally decided to give them a try to see if they lived up to the hype. Food: A Big Double Burger with Cheese (Ketchup, pickles and onions) Tray (included fries, a quesadilla, and an oreo shake). Burger Score: 7.5 out of 10 Comments: The burger was juicy but there was barely any cheese on it. It was nice I could pick out what I wanted on the burger, but they don't provide a list of options so I had no idea what to select other than the basic ketchup, pickles and onions. Fries Score: 6.5 out of 10 Comments : I was very disappointed with the fries. There was no taste to them. They tasted like they were dipped in oil and dried and put in the container. There was no seasoning on them. You have to ask for cajun seasoning. What happened t

El Campesino

El Campesino 6630 Highway 53 East Dawsonville, GA  (706) 216-3036 Okay, this was my second time going for Mexican food since moving to Dawsonville. I found this restaurant by random when I decided to take Highway 53 home instead of 400.  My wife and I were in the mood to get out of the house on a Friday night and wanted to try a new place (new to us). About El Campesino: Owned by the Guzman brothers, Salvador and Carlos, El Campesino opened its doors in 1997 in Dawsonville. The brothers learned the art of Mexican cuisine from their mother in Guanajuato, Mexico. They had always dreamt of providing food and a warm atmosphere to patrons of their restaurant. They currently own and operate two locations (Dawsonville and Cleveland, GA) Drink: Margarita Score: 9 out of 10 Comments : The margaritas at El Campesino give you a lot for your money. The one in the picture is the large and took the whole meal to finish it. The taste of the liquor was not overpowering,
