Nat's New York Pizzaria

Best pizza ever been going ther for years and just Took my son for the first time and he too agreed best pizza �

This is a casual pizza/Italian shop located on Broadway in Kits (they also have a second location in Denman). While they are probably best known for their New York-style thin crust pizza, which they sell in large individual slices in addition to whole pies, I've heard great things about their sandwiches (heros), so I got an X Large Veal Cutlet Parmesan Hero on my first visit. The sandwich was (of course) big, stuffed with a generous amount of meat, and quite tasty and filling. Of course, I can't review this place without trying their pies, so I returned the next day to get a few slices of their pizza. Now, having visited the day before and seen the available flavours, I had already planned on which varieties to get. That plan quickly went out of the window however when I saw that they had a Mac and Cheese-topped pizza available. Of course, I just HAD to get a slice of that. I also got a slice of their N.Y. Deli and BBQ Chicken. They warm the slices up for you in their oven, so you get them fresh and hot. I quite enjoyed their pies, which came with nice crispy crusts and tasty, flavourful topings. The slices are also quite large (probably 1.5x the size of those from regular joints) so 2 slices are probably sufficient for average people (I ate 2.5 slices; I could have eaten 3, but their Mac and Cheese was absolutely massive). Overall, be sure to check this out if you enjoy pizza or other greasy but tasty Italian-American fast-food.

Veal Cutlet Parmesan Hero (X Large, $12.95):
3.5/5
The sandwich had a pretty generous amount of filling, which consisted of breaded veal, tomato sauce, mozzarella, as well as onions and peppers. It was a very messy sandwich; I used an embarassing amount of napkins while scarfing this down. The bread was quite soft and light. There was a good amount of veal present, which was tender and well-seasoned. Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of tomato sauce and I didn't really care too much for the one in this sandwich; it was quite thin and dripping everywhere. I do also wish that there was more cheese present; most of the mozzarella appears to be present on the edges and I seriously could not detect any parmesan. I had the X Large size (which I think is the same size as the large, except with more filling), and while I didn't have much trouble finishing it all in one sitting, it was quite a large sandwich and very filling (and probably enough for two meals for someone with a smaller appetite).

N.Y. Deli Pizza ($3.75):
3.5/5
This came topped with capicollo, ham, pepperoni and salami. I quite liked the crust on this pizza was thin and very crispy. There was a good amount of meat, which was nice and salty, as well as gooey cheese. It was a bit greasy, but I didn't mind; I like greasy, fattening food. Maybe it's just because I don't have a good palate, but I honestly couldn't distinguish between the different meats; they all tasted like pepperoni to me.

BBQ Chicken Pizza ($3.75):
4/5
This consisted of ranch, olive oil, sweet onion, bell pepper and Nat's BBQ sauce (as well as, of course, chicken). Again, the crust was nice and crispy. The chicken was a bit dry but still tender. I quite liked the BBQ sauce, which was sweet with a nice smokey flavour.

Mac and Cheese Pizza (around $5.75):
3.5/5
This is the pièce de résistance. I don't know if this is a special/limited-edition flavour; I haven't seen the flavour being offered on their website and it wasn't present when I visited the shop the day before. The piece came topped with a thick layer of mac and cheese, as well as tomato sauce and bits of ground beef. I did find the mac and cheese to be a bit bland and the pasta was overcooked and too soft. It was still quite tasty however, and very fun to eat (I had to use a fork on this). While the price of around $6 is a bit steep, the slice is absolutely massive (probably 2x bigger than their already large regular slices), and is probably enough to feed a person with a normal appetite. Having already scarfed down the aforementioned N.Y. Deli and BBQ Chicken pizza, I ended up taking about 1/2 of mine to go as a "snack" for later.

Great retro New York-style pizza place, decorated lavishly in retro decorations. The pizzas are HUGE and are laid out on the counter by the front of the restaurant. The slices are big, so for lunch I would just recommend 2 slices. They have heros, pasta, and soup too! Great place, friendly staff.

A few months ago I could still tolerate (some forms of) dairy. All I can do now is rue the fact that I didn't consume a year's worth of pizza when I had the chance. *Sigh*.   This visit to Nat's was from a few months back - back when I was still able to eat pizza! I know...what's life without pizza?
  
  ...utterly meaningless I tell ya. Utterly meaningless.

  "You don't know what you have until it's gone."

  The first time I went I ordered 4 slices of pizza, and the guy at the counter was like "That's not all for you right?" and I was like "Oh, of course not." ;)

  I really like Nat's. Nat's is a New York style pizzeria in Kits (they have another location downtown!) They're famous for their huge slices of thin crust pizza!

  If you're planning on coming here during lunch on a weekday be warned - Nat's is PACKED, and I mean packed (I could barely breathe) with kids from the nearby high school!

Fresh, authentic pizza ingredients! The thin crust is crispy and tasty. It's unique pizzeria, with welcoming staff and friendly service. Yum!

This place is amazing! I've been coming here for 20 years and it has consistently made me say 'Wow' every time. The pizza is unbelievably fresh and delicious and their homemade Caesar Salad is better than any upscale restaurant. Authentic and Addictive.
