Q&A
What kind of pizza do you recommend?
When I go to a pizzeria for the first time, I almost always get a plain / margherita pizza. Sometimes I'll go with sausage and onions. These are two of my favorites, but they're also useful as baseline pizzas to compare with pizzas from other places. On the other hand, I really like the sopressata, which isn't as widely available. If I were making myself a pizza at Emilia's, it would most likely have sopressata and peppers.
What style of pizza do you make?
I think pizza classifications should only be used loosely. That said, our pizza can loosely be classified as "New York style." More specifically, it's a lot like this.
Could you repeat that?
This is a very common question, because the acoustics of the pizzeria are bad, and there are a lot of obnoxious drivers and loud trucks nearby. Also, how sure can I be that you said your name was "Zeeba" the first time I hear it? Lucky for you, many tedious questions you may have had will have already received tedious answers from this very website before you call.
Do you know where there's an ATM around here?
Since we only take regular old American cash money, it's good to know that there are ATMs at the two gas stations across from us.
How much is it with tax?
The prices shown on our menu are rounded to the nearest cent. The actual price may vary, so that the final after-tax price will be a friendly whole-dollar amount, and we can all avoid counting out coins.
