New York Pizza 535 W. State Street (909) 798-8389

This is my favorite pizza place in Redlands. However, I have not had every pizza in Redlands because one of my provisos was that the restaurant had to have seating, and a lot of places do not. Now that I've been to every restaurant, I'm trying to not order the same thing over and over. Which is very difficult for me to do.
I like the pizza because it has a very thin crust, with a very doughy flavor, a sauce you can taste on every bite and stringy mozzarella. I have had true New York pizza in New York (it was in Spanish Harlem) exactly once, 21 years ago, if you're not counting some I had at JFK on the way home. So I'm not saying it's authentic, but it has the characteristics of New York-style pizza. Parmesan cheese is always handy at New York Pizza; a trick that I learned at the old Maxwell Street Pizza on Kendall in San Bernardino is that the if you poured enough Parmesan on oily pepperoni, it would absorb the grease. That's not particularly a problem at New York Pizza, but I still like Parmesan on my pizza.
Instead of the lunch special, (I typically get a mini 1-topping pizza and a small regular Coke for 5.35 plus tax), I decided to stop going through all the pizzas one topping at a time. In my restaurant tour, I usually would try a sausage sandwich if given the opportunity. I think that's what I had at Anthony's further west on State to give it a "maybe" rating. Anyway, I ordered a small sausage sandwich (8").
The roll was great, crispy and flavorful. Bread makes a sandwich and it can kill a sandwich too. I believe there was but one sausage; I don't need the fat anyway. You could taste it, it was sweet. The sauce was plentiful. The green bell pepper was uncooked - that's not a complaint. It brought out it's flavor. The chewy mozzarella found on the pizza was present. The onions were cooked with the sausage. Very good.
The best sausage sandwich in Redlands? Hard to tell, I don't remember many on my travels. I think I had one at Venezia on Lugonia that was so-so, but that was in May of 2006, so it's kind of hard to remember.
I ordered a large soda on a suggest-a-sale, when I really wanted a small. I'd say a large was 24 oz, and a small is about 16. You get a free refill, I think, but since you have to ask for it, I never do. I had a Mr. Pibb, because the mix on a Mr. Pibb never seems to disappoint, regardless of the water or ice used. The total for the sandwich and the drink was $7.30 including tax.
