I had been led to believe the pizza was in keeping with good New York pizza; it was not. The ooey gooey mess'o cheese slid right off the crust and was not at all what I had hoped for, especially when I could have had three oversized slices from a regular pizza place. The wine was okay, but it had to breathe. Overall, I believe there may be better fare here at Paul's than their pizza. I'm not sure I'm ready to go back anytime soon, though.

Yikes! I got the black angus burger and it was SO overdone! I ordered it cooked medium, which usually means cooked through - but this burger was completely caramelized on one side - hard as a rock. I would have loved to send it back but the waiter never stopped back to ask how it was, and it took so long to get it in the first place I was afraid I'd have to wait too long. Also, the pictures showed regular fries and it came with waffle fries, which a really do not like.

Paul’s is my go-to when I want to share a good meal and have a great conversation in a convenient midtown locale. Hits all three points with high marks! Disco balls are bonus!
