Vitanella's Pizzeria

From Kykuit, we headed to Newburgh. We drove back across the Tappan Zee Bridge (no toll in this direction) and drove up Hwy 9W. We were hoping for great views of the Hudson River but it mainly took us through industrial areas. At 7 pm, we hit terrible traffic at Bear Mountain State Park--not sure the source of the traffic on a Sunday evening.

We rolled into Newburgh at 7:45 and barely made it to Vitanella's Pizzeria before they closed at 8 pm. They got good reviews on Yelp.

Vitanella's (429 South Plank Road) is not much of a restaurant. They were still in the process of renovation and there were just a few tables. 

We ordered a spinach and bacon pizza as well as a Caesar Salad ($5.95) to go. The medium pizza (14-inches, $15.95) was large enough for 3 of us to share. The pizza had a white sauce, the crust was thin and chewy but the spinach was frozen and the bacon was not real bacon. What a disappointment!
