Dining with in walking distance
These are some of our favorite restaurants in Carytown
You are 2 blocks away from the best pizza in town!
(there are a few places that can tie with Mary Angela's but none beat it)
I can heartily recommend the pizza, salads, subs & pastas (huge portions). The fried calamari is my favorite appetizer. The NY style is excellent - pro-tip if ordering a pizza with a lot of veggie toppings ask for it "well-done." The Sicilian deep dish pizza takes at least a half hour in the oven but is also amazing.
