Postiano
Located in a little shopping center in Williston Park, Positano is a small family style pizzeria and restaurant with a to go counter in front and a cozy dining room in the back. Upon entering I was greeted by a man working the front counter eager to offer the pizzas they had. Positano was created by an immigrant from Naples who worked his way up from being a dishwasher. The website mentions, “Growing a deep passion for food, he came to the U.S. to have the American dream to own his own restaurant.” After learning about the history I had to come and try it out for myself.
Appearance of pizza:
Margherita
The appearance of the pizza looked as if it was made by a child. There was an uneven ratio of cheese to sauce and the crusts width was quite thin. The overall taste was the same as a regular New York slice that you could get from anywhere. However, that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, the crust itself was crunchy and had a nice smokey flavor from their brick oven. Overall, I’d rate this a 6.5/10.
Buffalo Chicken Slice
The buffalo chicken slice was great. It had a mix of savory and spicy. The chicken was seasoned well, and there was ample cheese and it was more flavorful from the buffalo sauce. The dough itself is crunchy like the Margherita but was a bit softer and had a better cheese pull. I’d rate this as a 7.5/10.
