1 review for Todaro Pizza
As a kid, I would regularly visit this place everytime I went shopping at the plaza and deemed it to be the best pizza in the world. That was probably at least 8 years ago before I moved away. I recently was able to go back to my hometown after nearly a decade and jumped at the chance to visit my most treasured restaurant of my childhood. After such a long time, I was most afraid that I had matured and that Todaro's (I actually never knew the name as a kid) would not live up to the expectations that my memories created as a kid. As I walked in with my family, I saw that everything, save for the newer photographs and employees, was EXACTLY the same. They even had the same lights and toy train above the booths. As I stood there, it seemed as if time had frozen as I was soaking up a psychological time travel. My senses weren't sure if this was a good sign or not, so I quickly snapped back to my senses and carefully ordered a large pepperoni.
It exceeded all expectations! I couldn't remember a pizza tasting so good! I don't know how quite to explain it, but the combination of fulfilling a sense of nostalgia, eating the best pizza ever on a chilly fall night, and sitting with family brought some tears to the back of my eyes. As I happily wolfed down the pepperoni and proceeded to eat 2 more pies, it seemed as if I could die happily right then and there.
Oh, and to review the pizza, it was topped with mouth-watering cheese which YOU MUST EAT AS SOON AS IT IS SERVED. If you order it, you will know why. The cheese is almost liquid (in a good way) and will slide off your pizza. But it's so good you shouldn't care. The crust/bread and tomato sauce wonderfully complement the pizza; it's just absolutely one of the best pizzas ever. The staff is very hard-working, but they are very friendly people when you talk with them. And the restaurant itself boasts one of the coziest atmospheres in my memory.
While I loved it as a kid, and probably love it to death now after this last trip, I don't see many customers. To see this place close would be a heart-wrenching experience I couldn't possibly imagine. So please do yourself, your family, your neighborhood, and pizza lovers everywhere a favor and grab a bite at Todaro's. It certainly has blessed me more than any pizza place ever could.
