NYChar Lunch Adventure: Free Pizza from Tresanti, Soho (1 Hr Left to Get Yours!)

I just got back from our late lunch adventure today @ TRESANTI, Soho with The Actor, The Musician, and...The Pizza Magician:D  We went closer to 4p, so there wasn't a line (we were told there was one earlier when it first started at 3p), and we were seated right away.  Another 10-15 min, and our pizza was served, right out of the oven.

Here are really quick highlights:


THE PIZZA
We enjoyed the personal pizzas (4 slices) from the new Italian restaurant, which was topped with fresh tomato, mozz, and basil (the Margherita).  The normal price for the pizza is $12-14, depending when you go, so we got a good deal! 

It is a very thin sliced pizza, so you don't feel too heavy after you eat it, which is nice for me, but I can imagine that some guys might have to eat a little more to really get full.  To be fair, the waiter said these were "sample sizes" more or less, so the actual order would be slightly bigger.  For what we got, we liked a lot.

THE SPACE
I always enjoy when the lines between the kitchen and dining area are a little blurred, so it was fun to see the chefs saucing the dough and putting it in the oven right behind us.  There's a homey feel to it too.  Should be a pretty cool spot to hang out, and from what I remember, the bar area is decent too.

YAY OR NAY?
Overall consensus is that Yes - we'd go back for another try!  For now, we really enjoyed our afternoon snack and look forward to finishing
out this work day with a happy stomach: )

You have 1 more hour (until 6p) to go get one yourself!  Enjoy!
