From February 2005 Dirt Cheap Eats

Emilio's touts its "special crust" on nearly every menu item. The best way to sample it is with an order of Emilio's Bread, served drizzled with olive oil, rosemary, and Parmesan ($3 for a small order; $4 for a large). Cheese calzones ($7.99) are fat, filling, and come with a good marinara.

The main event is the pizza. You can top 10-inch pizzas ($7.99) or 16-inch pies ($13.99) with toppings ($1 to $2.50) such as prosciutto, artichoke hearts, and green or black olives. Finish your meal with a cannoli ($3.49), just sweet enough and reminiscent of Manhattan's Little Italy.
