I love discovering delicious food, especially when I find it unexpected places.
I have been getting pizza from the recently opened Gloria Pizza (right next to the Midway Theater) every couple of weeks for a while now and have been liking it more every time I go. My most recent discovery was their Grandma pizza - delicious, tangy and saucy squares of goodness, Though plenty of crust to chew on, the lesser amount of cheese has been especially appealing as I try to fight the battle of the bulge. I find Gloria's Grandma pizza to be the best I've found in Forest Hills. The sauce is so fresh and tangy - getting hungry just thinking about it!
But the real reason for this post is my delightfully unexpected discovery at Gloria Pizza - their house salad. Who on God's earth would've imagine that a simple house salad from a pizza place could be so delicious? Their secret ingredient - their amazing house dressing. I don't know how they make it, what goes into it, but trust me - it just may be the best salad dressing I've had in New York City, or right up there with the best.
I don't say this lightly. Believe me, I am not easy to please when it comes to food. (I'll never set foot in T-Bone again, for instance, since the time they served my Dad their shrimpless shrimp salad like 10 years ago). So when I discover something this good, I just have to spread the word.

Nick's calzone and their house salad are tops. their dressing is the best!
ReplyDeletethe dressing at pizza classico is also excellent.
ReplyDeleteOooh, oooh, I give it two more days before Fee Fee says "I give it 2 years"!
ReplyDeleteSecond Nick's house salad, freaking amazing.
ReplyDeleteI was at the post office picking up a package the other day. I left my car there and decided to walk over to TD Bank to swipe some pens. When I passed Gloria's I was reminded of why I have not been to the Midway in years. There seemed to be a lot of Riff Raff hanging around. It's too bad that it is such a horrible location.
ReplyDeleteSo in other words, you robbed a bank.
DeleteThe salad dressing at Gloria Pizza is sooo amazing, I could drink it!! I love to dip the crust of my pizza in it, I order galic knots to dip in it also!!! It is like crack it is soooo addicting!!!!
ReplyDeleteGloria's grandma pizza was delivered piping hot and was delicious!! the house dressing is also delicious (does not top Nicks) but i couldnt figure out what was in it?
ReplyDeleteI tried Gloria's and was not impressed. Lillian's is still the best in Forest Hills. Rosa's in Maspeth tops them all.
