Ingrid's Kitchen

Pronto has a generic website with stock images, dead links, and almost nothing on their FB page.

How do these places stay in business?

It's amazing to me how many small businesses haven't grasped the idea that it's 2024. An online media presence is necessary. And with the available resources it's not hard to put together a decent site.

Well in their defense, It does say on the web page that they like keeping things simple.

They have 15 or so reviews on Google, and all except one are glowing, so they're getting some business (a few do say they saw it when they drove by). We *might* try them (since we only live 1/2 mile away), but suspect their pizzas will be Papa John's/Marco's quality, at best.

Since I live so close and love New York-style pizza, I decided to give Pronto a try.

Their website now features online ordering, so I ordered a Margherita pizza and 15 minutes later, it was ready for pickup. The inside looks like a jail cell; all black with a handful of inexpensive tables and chairs and a order/pickup window. Obviously, they are not trying to cultivate dine-in business.

I liked the pizza a lot. Very similar to Empire and the crust was cooked perfectly; not too floppy and a bit chewy.

With tax & tip it was about $25 for an 18" pie.

Not bad pricing. Looks good!

How does it compare to Dado's?

That's kind of a sad looking margherita pizza, we've had frozen ones that looked better than that. Still probably going to give them a shot at some point, though, just because we're so close.

Oh, and wife said there appeared to be work happening at the actual Ingrid's, I think the "For Lease" sign might be down, but can't remember.

Are you as critical of other things as you are of food?

Absolutely, I have high standards for everything. Life's too short to eat bad food (and yes, I know I haven't tried it yet, but will soon and am reserving total judgement until then and if it's decent, I'll say so).

Not gonna lie, that looks pretty good. If it has a lighter crust than Empire it would be pretty standard good NYC pizza.

I wish they sold by the slice.

Ingrid's proper has now been painted white, don't recall seeing any new signs, though.

[TheTravellers]

Saw a sign today above the north door that said Medleys, don't think it was there before, but not sure.

[OkieBerto]

I drove by this morning, and there is a new sign up on the Pronto Pizza side of the Igrid's kitchen building: Han Jan Korean Kitchen & Pocha.

Ooh, I hope they are going to take advantage of the big, adjacent bar space.

If they are doing something similar to Seoul Pocha, it is probably a safe bet they will, and maybe even some karaoke rooms!

[Pete]

I'll go by there and see what I can see. Can't find any social media for them.

That bar was always underutilized.

[TheTravellers]

Interesting, because Han Jan is a brand of soju (apple is the best) that we always get at Formosa when we go there before a Tower show. I doubt it's owned by the soju brand, though.
