I guess when it comes to delivery in the area, it is probably one of the better pizzas -- although I prefer Fascati's on Henry St. toward Dumbo. I'm not sure of some of the pizza places further down on Court though. There could be another Citibank down with a pizza place nearby.
I meant leonardos, on court btw 1st and 2nd. A quick web search shows they are gone, sold their equipment to lucalis, which I haven't tried yet. I see Nino's changed hands, very sad:
http://lostnewyorkcity.blogspot.com/...rci-ninos.html but I think I've been there since that post and it was pretty much the same food and people. When I first started going there, the customers were very, very polite as there seemed to be some permanent clientele that you wouldn't want to cross. I once ordered, didn;t have enough money and told the counter guy that i needed to walk across the street to use the atm. He looked at one of the guys at the table, he nodded, and the guy told me to just pay when I was done eating. I spent the whole meal worrying about whether the atm machine was broken. I used to hit ninos for lunch and then cammeraris bakery (as made famous in moonstruck), for what was arguably the best loaf of Italian bread in the city.
