Galleria of Merrick A full service Restaurant and Pizzeria!

These are the top three menu items that expose a fake pizzeria immediately.

The regular cheese pie, the penne vodka, and the chicken cutlet tell you everything you need to know about a kitchen. Flashy specials might get attention, but if the basics are weak, bland, dry, watery, or clearly made without care, the whole menu is doing damage control. The simple items tell the truth — and if a restaurant only cares when the camera is on, the menu will expose it.

These are three more things customers do that prove they’ve never worked a real job.

Walking in two minutes before closing, ordering for ten people with no idea what anyone wants, and leaving your table like a crime scene all show a complete lack of awareness. Anyone who has worked in a restaurant, pizzeria, deli, or any real service job knows how much basic respect matters. Working a real job teaches you awareness and some customers walk in like awareness was never part of their upbringing.

These are the top three most annoying things food influencers do.

Tapping on the glass, using that fake excited influencer voice, and calling every single restaurant “the best” have all gotten old. If every pizza, sandwich, pasta, and hidden gem is somehow life-changing, your opinion means absolutely nothing. Food influencers don’t need more restaurants to review — they need a new vocabulary and a personality that wasn’t copied from TikTok.

Being family owned doesn’t automatically make your pizza good.

I respect legacy, tradition, and the people who built something from nothing, but a cute backstory doesn’t excuse dry slices, lazy service, or a pizzeria that stopped caring fifteen years ago. If your family name is on the box, the standard should be higher, not lower. Being family owned gets you respect — making great pizza is what lets you keep it.

I’m blind ranking specialty slices, and some of these should’ve never left the test kitchen.

Specialty slices can be incredible when they’re balanced, but a lot of them are just leftovers with mozzarella, a fake Italian name, and a dream. Vodka, buffalo chicken, chicken bacon ranch, BBQ chicken, eggplant ricotta, white slices, and chicken parm all live or die by whether the pizzeria actually knows what it’s doing. If your specialty slice needs six toppings to hide the truth, it probably sucks.

We’ve been making cheesesteaks before everybody started paying influencers to pretend theirs was special.

Now every restaurant wants the same slow-motion cheese pull, the same fake shocked bite, and the same paid hype like they invented beef and bread. At Galleria, the cheesesteak is about good bread, quality steak, melted cheese, onions that belong there, and a bite that actually hits. You can pay people to hype your cheesesteak, but you can’t fake the bite.

I can tell who would be useless in a kitchen just by how they talk about work.

If you don’t do weekends, say “that’s not my job,” show up late every shift, fold under pressure, or need praise for basic tasks, the restaurant business is going to expose you fast. A busy pizzeria needs people who jump in, move fast, help the team, and make the rush easier instead of becoming another problem. A good employee helps the kitchen survive; a nightmare employee becomes the chaos.
