I was desiring takeout one night and I didn't want to order from the usual suspects. Then, I remembered that someone said that they just had an excellent pizza from Papouli's Brick Oven Pizza and Restaurant in Forked River. I never think about this place because when I enter the strip mall where Papouli's is located off Manchester Avenue, I am usually headed for Chinese Gourmet.
This restaurant not only offers Italian dishes, but you can get some classic Greek dishes as well. Some of these include Gyros, Pastichio, Moussaka, Pitas and Spanakopita. If I want good Greek food, I have usually had to drive to Tuckerton to find some.
I decided to try their Cheese Ravioli. Once I tore it out of its bag, I was very impressed to see the generous portion of Basil on top. The sauce ended up being very flavorful, which in my mind is a definite plus. People think I am crazy because I love a flavorful sauce even with my pizza. I know some people are happy with just cheese. The Raviolis were a perfect al dente with a good helping of Parmesan sprinkled throughout the dish. To further strike my fancy, they offer Italian Wedding Soup. Pleased with this offering, I will try one of their Greek dishes next.
