Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“As a native New Yorker from Manhattan, it’s hard to find REAL New York pizza in the south, period! This little gem is, hands down, the absolute BEST I’ve EVER found. And I’ve had ‘New York’ pizza in Alabama, Georgia and Texas before I found this place. My fellow pizza snobs from NYC will understand my feelings when I say I was ecstatic to see garlic powder on EVERY table my first time here!! The pizza is AMAZING!! The staff is pleasant and helpful, and the service is fast!!” – Deirdre J.

Not Your Average Restaurant

Dale Johnson, the owner and manager of New York Pizza, generously gave us a few minutes of his time to tell us a little more about his award-winning business and its impressive online reputation.

The first question we had for Dale was what sets New York Pizza apart from their competition in Mississippi. Dale points to their quality food — they get local produce from right down the street; their dough is made in-house, and their sauce is homemade — and to the amazing staff they have.

We also wanted to know what their mission is at New York Pizza and how they work to make the world a better place. Dale told us that they work hard to make their customers happy and bring them back, and that they hope to expand to more locations in the future.

Building Success Through Consistency and Customer Service

Dale attributes New York Pizza’s strong online reputation to the fact that they are there for their customers, to the consistency they provide with every guest interaction and to their excellent, never-say-no customer service.

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, New York Pizza has gotten their name out there through promotions on Facebook and regional television ads.

There are so many restaurant owners out there looking to build the kind of online reputation New York Pizza has. Here’s Dale’s expert advice for them:

“To start any restaurant, you have to start at the bottom so you understand all the mechanics and moving parts of a restaurant.”


Congratulations to the team at New York Pizza for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Dale, for taking the time to speak with us!
