Decent New York-style pizza is hard to come by in the Green Mountains. When I find a new place to get it, it’s time to celebrate.
Hooray, then, for the thin, cheesy slices at Vermont Pizza Company.
The address might be familiar. Until earlier this fall, the spot was known as Rocky’s New York Pizza. John Howe, who has owned that place for a year and a half, was looking to carve out his own niche, hence the name change, major remodeling and new menu. The new, more open floor plan is decorated with close-up photographs of Vermont produce. I sat beneath a print of a bouquet of turnips.

I stumbled on this place by accident this weekend and the pizza knocked my socks off. Plus it felt so good to be welcomed by people who cleared wanted their customers to be really, really satisfied. Previously I would stop in when I happened to be doing errands in the neighborhood. Now I’ll think of driving across town for this pizza!
I recently ate there – all was good except the Alfredo we got to go at the end of our meal. The Alfredo was bad. By bad – I mean the dairy had turned. Thankfully I smelled it and stopped the intended recipient (who apparently can’t smell such things) from eating it and being very ill.
It is unfortunate to hear the Alfredo was not perfect, however it could not have been “bad” Alfredo is made to order, and simmered before the cheese is added. If it came out lumpy, the issue would have been the Romano and Parmesan cheese not being mixed in properly. It would be prudent to refrain from making assumptions about spoilage.
Please – I know what turned dairy tastes like and smells like. I tasted it before making the determination and bringing it to the outside trash container as the smell (to me) was overpowering. The container it was in was opened within twenty minutes of leaving and was still warm. No assumptions. Fact.
