Eastside Vibe Review 1

Get Your Grinder On For The Game.

You might not expect to see a pizza parlor putting on a Monday night football party. Garzelli’s breaks out of the box when it comes to pizza parlors. They have the 55” LCD TV tuned in, the beer cold and the ovens hot. They’re gonna burn up some gas on game days with their 1/2 price appetizers. The cooler is going to be sweating as well to keep up with the beer specials.
Good food at 1/2 price and cold beer is a hell of a start but the party really gets going at halftime with all the prizes they’re giving away. Garzelli’s is putting the typical pizza joint promotions in the back seat and letting the pub lovin’ game fans drive for awhile.
Lets not forget if your hosting your own football party you can still get the great grub Garzell’s is famous for delivered to your door. All you’ll need is the chips, the beer and the 55 inch. If you don’t have one you might want to relocate the party to Garzelli’s.

Eastside Vibe Review 2

You may be asking yourself...”what is a grinder?” Well we’ve researched it exhaustively and we found that there is no real definition or factual origin of a grinder.
Most experts agree it is a take-off from a submarine sandwich. Oddly enough the sub and the grinder have a somewhat nautical origin. East coast shipyards often employed Italian immigrant workers. These workers usually packed a lunch, commonly the lunch consisted of a large sandwich on a french roll stuffed with meats cheeses and an olive salad. These workers were building submarines and ships. The workers assigned to grinding down the rivets in the metal plates were often referred to as “grinders”. This Italian sandwich was a common staple and restaurants serving the sandwich used the names submarine and grinder. Whew! Enough of the history report, the real question is “how good is a grinder?”
Well we headed for the local expert on creating the authentic grinders...Garzelli’s. Realizing Garzelli’s also specializes in pizza, we just had to try both. Garzelli’s grinders are essentially what we call hoagies, a large sub bun, stuffed with meat and cheese with your choice of toppings. The one thing I can say about the grinder is the roll is much better than your average grease soaked bun. Fresh and soft on the inside, toasted crisp on the outside. This is a great roll. My grinder was thinly sliced beef with provolone
(although they come in 23 varieties), bananas peppers, tomato, onion, lettuce and mayo. Think of it as a Philly. It was stone cold delicious and it was far from cold. Steaming beef, melted cheese and that fresh toasted roll, it was perfect. Penn Station wants about $9 for their version, you can get one at Garzelli’s for $6.29. Good deal. Pick one up as a special or with a coupon and it’s a really good deal.
The pizza selection isn’t bad either, they range from about $7 to about $17. Still with all the rising prices on pizzas these days it’s still a good deal. They start with a fresh crust that’s not
too thick or too thin, smother it in the toppings of your choice and bake to a golden bliss. I love hoagies, gyros and phillies. Now I love grinders too! Garzelli’s offers good prices for the bar selections and the games on the flat screen, so it’s part pub, part pizza, all good. Get this, in the owners hometown the potatoes pictured below are called “Jo-Jo’s”.
If your in the mood for the food, get up to Garzelli’s and order a grinder and some Jo-Jo’s or better yet stay warm and get it delivered to the house, you’ll get the same great taste but you’ll have to supply the brew and the flat screen yourself.
