The O-town Scene

Continued from Page 12 Michele remembers the date he moved to the U.S. _ March 5, 1971. “I started making pizza like the next day,” he said, noting that his entire family was in the pizza business in the states. With four decades of experience and an Italian up- bringing, the Della Monicas know how to make pizza. Their Pizza Della Nonna (Grandmother’s Pizza) has a sweet marinara sauce that won a pizza-tasting contest in May 2010 by the Nicaragua Team of Main Street Baptist Church in Oneonta. Long Island Style Pizzeria has an array of specialty pizzas honoring various locations and groups in the area _ The Unadilla Vegetariana is topped with sau- teed mixed vegetables, marinara sauce and mozzarella Photos by Cassandra Miller Long Island Style Pizzeria is at 3915 State Highway 23 in West Oneonta. Take-out is available by calling 432-4222. The pizzeria is open Tuesday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and Sunday, 2 to 9 p.m. cheese; The SUNY Oneonta is cooked with melted mozzarella cheese, taken out of the oven, and then topped with lettuce, celery, carrots and chicken wings. Unat- ego, Laurens, Hartwick, Morris, New Lisbon, Meredith, Franklin, Davenport and Milford also have pies named for them. The West Oneonta is a heart-shaped plain cheese pizza “for lovers only,” and Oneonta has a pizza for every season. The pizzeria also offers appetizers, calzones, subs, salads, entrees, pasta dishes and desserts. Oneonta is the unofficial land of pizza, but Long Island Style Pizzeria’s food and friendly atmosphere is well worth the trip out of town. _ Cassandra Miller July 7, 2011 O-Town Scene 13
