8 of the best foods I ate at the US Open — and 3 I'd skip next time

Game, set, feast: These US Open food offerings are worth the trek to Queens.

I recently attended the US Open during Fan Week for a media preview of all the food on offer at this year's tournament.

While there, I ate my way through nearly every dish on the menu and came away with a few favorites, including a $38 French dip sandwich that's become almost as famous as the players themselves.

But they weren't all champions — I also tried a few items that I don't think are worth the long lines and hefty price tags.

Here are the eight best food items I tried at the US Open, and three I think could be skipped.

One of the best and simplest items I tried was the prosciutto pizza from San Matteo.

Offering a variety of Neapolitan-style pizzas, San Matteo has brought some of its favorite concoctions from its Upper East Side pizzeria to the US Open.

The prosciutto pizza, which is about the size of a personal pizza, features fresh mozzarella, truffle pâté, Rovagnati Parma ham, basil, and crushed black pepper. I thought the pizza was perfectly balanced, salty and sweet, and the dough was delightfully crispy.

It was also relatively affordable and a generous portion for the Food Village at the US Open.

However, I'd probably skip the pepperoni or margherita cheese pizzas from San Matteo.

While I enjoyed both, I thought that they were a bit too simple for a special day out at the Open, especially compared to the more exciting prosciutto pizza or the variety of unique items on offer.

For kids attending, ordering a simpler pizza might be a perfect fit, but I recommend thinking a bit more outside the box with your concession orders.
