Alfies II of Hewlett just opened at the site of the old Broadway Pizza at 1243 Broadway in Hewlett. The new owner redid the entire place with wonderful tile floors, wonderful organic rustic tile walls and 2 flat screen TVs on the walls.
Since I didn't get home until late from showing homes tonight we thought we would give it a try - and all I can say is YUM!
We walked in and the smells were great - garlic, tomato, fresh dough - it was all so inviting.
The owner is Luigi, a second generation Pizzeria owner. He learned his skills working with his father at his shop in Kew Gardens. A photo of his father's original shop from the 1970s in hanging on the wall. He named his Pizzeria Alfie's 2 in honor of his father.
When we ordered the Luigi Panini he was so excited - it was his specialty. He warned us that it was HUGE and he was right. It was at least 10" square - nice crispy bread, moist juicy chicken cutlet, broccoli rabe, melted mozzarella cheese and garlic. It was absolutely great and with a salad more than enough for two of us.
The Antipasto salad was loaded with chunks of cheese, salami and pickled vegetables on a bed of your choice of lettuce. The garlic knots were large and crispy, delicious.
The menu has a large variety of pizzas, salads, wraps and paninis.
And oh - I forgot to mention dessert!! Be sure to get the Zeppolone. It was a Zeppole filled with cannoli cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce and then topped with powdered sugar. It was light and creamy and out of this world good. Unfortunately we ate it too fast to take any pictures of it.
In the mood for Italian? - go to Alfies 2. You won't be disappointed!! Don't feel like going out? No problem - They Deliver!
