What did you say? You can't find east coast style pizza and deli sandwiches in the Tri-Cities?? FA-GET ABOUT IT!! EATZ Pizzeria & Deli is right here in Richland and wants you to get your ASS there for lunch and dinner, and bring the family! You can ask the owner Phil to make you anything, even if it's not on the menu, and he will likely do it for you! Is it good? It's the BEST IN TOWN!! and he will tell you as much. Don't believe him? He will have a cook-off throwdown with anyone, anytime, anywhere!!
This family run restaurant will smack you in the mouth with the freshest meats, with some meat and bread even being shipped in from New York to uphold the east coast authenticity he was raised eating. Besides their authentic sandwich and gigantic pizza offerings, Phil has also come up with some creative offerings that had me chomping at the bit to try! The pizza I had to try was the Mac N Cheese with bacon. Phil blends 3 types of cheese with his macaroni noodles and tops it with a heavy load of thick cut bacon bits. This pizza will have your kids begging for more! I also tried their meat combo, which comes with pepperoni, canadian bacon, andouille sausage, meatballs and bacon. If this pizza doesn't send you home with the meat sweats, you may already be dead. Look for weekly pizza specials on their facebook and if you're brave, ask for their "BIG DADDY" 26 inch pizza. When asked if it was up to par with local pizza favorite, Hubby's, Phil said there is no comparison and if Hubby's wants to throw down a pizza challenge, to BRING IT ON! (Sidenote, I love this guy!!).
From the deli, I tried Phil's personal favorites off the menu. I chowed down on The Cuban, The Italian and The Hot Pastrami. The cuban uses some awesome ham and tenderloin meat, with mustard you will love! The Italian stays traditional to Phil's Italian roots, using the best meats similar to one of his hometown favorites, Katz's Deli. Think twice before asking to have this sandwich toasted or heated up, Phil might just give you the boot! He keeps it traditional and will explain to you how heating the meat will cause the oils to change the flavor of the sandwich, and we cant have that The last and my personal favorite, the HOT PASTRAMI! I can honestly say there is no sandwich shop in town that can hold a candle to this one. Try it....just try it. Bar none, best sandwich shop in town. Phil and I both love Graze, but this is a completely different style and atmosphere.
Load up the car and head down to 1308 Lee Blvd in Richland and Phil and fam will be waiting to welcome you. Be yourself, cuss if you want and talk a little trash with Phil. I guarantee you will leave full and happy. You can even look forward to some new offerings such as homemade pretzels and whole cooked turkeys! If you cant make it in, get your food delivered! They work with Tri-Cities Delivered Goods and they are FAST! http://www.tricitiesdeliveredgoods.homesteadcloud.com/
