Delancey Bar & Pizzeria

I think "humble" is the best way to describe Delancey Bar and Pizzeria. It has an old school, east coast pizzeria feel with its brick walls and dark cherry colored wood.


The dim lighting makes it just as appropriate for a date night as it is for buddies going out for beers and pizza after work.


Wend and I ordered the Stanton pizza, which consisted of Mozzarella, Burrata, olive oil, oregano, and olives. The thin crust was soft, but well cooked, which made for a crisper outside and a chewier middle. With that, the light Marinara and thin layer of Mozzarella cheese didn't fill you up too quickly and kept you wanting more. Plus,on a hot summer night, the creamy and cool Burrata cheese beautifully contrasted all the other hot ingredients that came straight from the oven. Unfortunately, the oregano and olives took a back seat to the sauce and cheeses, but seemed as if this was done purposefully. I don't think of olives or oregano as subtle ingredients, but the subtlety may have been that extra push to make it as enjoyable as it was.


Plenty of food for two with leftovers to bring home, but I ate 5 slices. So, there was none to bring home. I would definitely order this one again, but am looking forward to going back and trying another.
