This is another great Greenpoint Polish eatery, although I prefer the cooking at Relax. This place, however, is very popular with Polish folks. I enjoyed the cutlet here as well as the pierogies. The stuffed cabbage is good, too. I thought the portions were a little smaller than at Relax, and the flavors a little different. Maybe it's a matter of a different version of the foods – like the chefs may be from different parts of the country. Reasonable prices.
Love their Ukrainian.. and their potato and cheese pierogies!
no mess no fuss..
as i like it.
At first, I thought this was some hipster's alternative spelling of pizza. You can't blame me, given the proximity to Williamsburg. Yelp informed me that it was in fact a Polish restaurant.
I'd never had Polish food, but judging from the signs in the neighborhood, Greenpoint seemed like the perfect place to dive in. Though I have nothing to compare it to, it sees legit.
This is a no-frills restaurant. It's like a cross between a cafeteria and a small-town diner. They focus on food as opposed to presentation.
I ordered the potato dumpling with meet. Whatever I expected was quite different from what I got. The dumpling sort of looked like a dinosaur egg in shape, texture, and a shiny/slimy coating. I initially regretted my choice, but that regret dissipated once I started eating. The meat filling was really good, particularly with the chopped onions on top.
The dumpling was served with a choice of salad. I chose the cucumber salad. I didn't like it very much. The dressing was like watered down milk, and didn't have any discernible flavor. I added salt and pepper, which made it a little better, but I felt no need to finish.
The prices are great, and it's a good place to have authentic (I assume, but what do I know?) Polish food.
I wish I'd known about Pyza before last night. Very good food for not a lot of money. It's as easy as that.
My plate of bigos was really big. Lots of sauerkraut, well seasoned, potatoes that weren't clumpy. Delicious. And I knew that I liked the pierogies, but after reading that they are hand made, to order, made me pat myself on the back a little bit picking out how delicious they were. The skin isn't too thick, they are flavorful and served very warm, but not "scald your mouth" hot. And while the pickle soup could be a little bit pickle-ier, it was very good.
Some people might scoff at a restaurant where you have to get your own silverware, but I had no qualms. I just wish that I could have gotten my own water too.
I'll be back in the future.
Pyza ain't nothing to fuck with. Amazing polish food, no frills, no niceties. Order at the counter, you idiot. This is basically what they say to you, and I don't even care because the food was so cheap and so good.
They have most polish dishes you could think of. The kielbasa is incredible and the potatoes are home-cooking polish style, not too much butter and kind of lumpy (the BEST). Their salatki are perfect in every way, fresh and not overdressed. My boss had the polish plate which comprised at least three decent-sized meals. He liked it.
Go here.
Damn this place is good. And it's cheap. And it's good. It's also a little intimidating but regardless… so delicious, fresh and just drool worthy. Definitely get the platter, ask for a side of sour cream and applesauce and DEFINITELY get the pickles because they are just the bomb.
There's plenty of food for practically nothing! You cannot beat the price, the food and seriously there is no wait time! We ordered so much food, came out in about 10 minutes.
This building is very unstable. That's why the call it the Leaning Tower of Pyza.
Also, Alex K has been here. I'd just like to state that, for the record. So that's a plus.
What to get: White Borscht, or anything.
I came here as part of a food tour on which I passed up Jadlo and the other famous Polish restaurant in the area, because this seemed the cheapest and the best for a to-go order. I was way too full to be eating Polish food anyway. Yet I stopped in.
It was a long walk from the door to the buffet-style food. They recommended an order of Borscht so I snapped it up and I absolutely loved it. It was filling and warm and delicious and very competitively priced, especially for this part of "Brokelyn" which is named as such for a very good reason.
With all of these awesome Polish places in one part of town, you'd think you were in Warsaw. But if you never "saw a war" then you're not, because the Poles have seen plenty of conflict over the years. And my Pole, actually, has seen plenty of conflict too. If by conflict you mean deep, dark, sinister and dangerous places. There's a reason they call it "the Pole in the Hole."
But back to this restaurant. It's buffet style, but the service is nice and the food is excellent. The White Borscht is top notch. They served me right before closing. I'm looking forward to going back one day for a sit-down, and also at the 2 other big name Polish places in the same little neighborhood, Krol…thingy (sp) and Lomzynianka. Lol.
Now I have to go, because I'm late for a Yelp event which I'm not actually invited to, so if you don't see me again alive, you know why. And yes I'm taking my Pole with me.
