VPho & Pizzeria serves two entirely distinct menus—one Italian, and one Vietnamese—in a pizza parlor covered in laminated photographs of banh mi and summer rolls. To understand how it exists, you first need to know about Sorrento’s. The Morris Park pizzeria opened in 1973, and for 50 years it was a local favorite for their Sicilian slices. When the owner decided it was time to retire, his neighbor Michael took over the space. For a year, it was business as usual. Then Michael added Vietnamese food to the menu. The two cuisines coexist beautifully in this uniquely New York pairing, which is just as good for a quick slice as it is for a steamy bowl of phở. A display case at the front counter houses pizzas and chicken rolls as well as takeout cups of hoisin sauce, sriracha, and a pleasantly fiery housemade chili sauce. The only overlap between the two menus? Crusty baguettes from New Jersey, which are the basis of the banh mi, and also come on the side of big, glistening bowls of penne alla vodka. If you come here for one thing, it should be something off the Vietnamese menu, like Michael’s personal recommendation: the bánh hỏi đặc biệt, loaded with three different types of meat. But you shouldn’t ever come here for just one thing. Because where else can you alternate between a bowl of phở and a bowl of penne at lunch on a random weekday? Act accordingly. Pregame your bánh mì with a slice of pizza, because why the heck not. This is New York!
