Denino’s Pizzeria Thousand Oaks made its grand opening today after a long wait at 1710 Thousand Oaks Boulevard, offering authentic New York style pizza, heroes, salads and appetizers.
This is a very casual eatery, with outdoor seating only, takeout and delivery. My initial try was a simple Cheese Pie. Definitely tastes of New York - light, crisp, thin crust and tasty. Next time I’ll kick it up a notch with A Salute Pie (Ricotta, Fresh Mozzarella, Olive Oil, Seasoned Arugula), Denino’s M.O.R. Pie (Meatball, Fresh Onions, Ricotta), Garbage Pie (Sausage, Meatballs, Pepperoni, Mushrooms, Onions) or others.
Their appetizers include Scungili and Scungili Salad, which I can’t recall seeing anywhere else locally, Italian Egg Roll, Fried Calamari and more.
