Pizza Parlor Pops Up in Burbank

N.Y.P.D. Pizza, an Orland-based chain of Big Apple-themed pizzerias and delicatessens, has opened its first L.A.-area outpost in downtown Burbank. The restaurant at 150 S. San Fernando Road serves up a variety of hand-made pizzas, heroes, calzones and pastas, plus a full-service deli. The chain started in 1996 and has locations in Florida, Arkansas and South Carolina. Through franchises, it plans to add 18 branches in coming years, mostly in southwestern states, the company said. The new Burbank branch is part of the Burbank Village Walk, a mixed-use complex that opened late last year.
