This is a back to basics version of pizza! The cheese was so hot, the sauce good, the dough filling...all as pizza should be. This place is sure to be a gem in the neighborhood, with expanded menu. Gluten Free pizza too. Support this local business! Strictly kosher. Enjoy! Update: I tried the Basil slice. This was a slice with heft! Two slices will likely leave you full, and happy.
We showed up right after closing time on Friday, but they still took care of us. We ordered a slice for each of us, and they threw in an extra slice! The pie was delicious. We highly recommend.
When I pulled up for the first time I didn’t think this place would be very good. No one was there except those working but I picked and paid for a pizza online to pick up for dinner. Well I was surprised. While the pizza isn’t cheap, it was very good. I picked the Basil Pizza and added olives, mushrooms and sausage and loved it. The slices were heavy and very tasty. I had a feeling that the reviews would be a bit bogus but people were right - the pizza and crust were fresh, tasted great. I think I prefer this pizza even over Punch.
Fantastic flavorful fresh perfection!!! Best pizza I’ve ever had and I’ve been to Italy twice ;)
This was a surprisingly good find. Stopped here for a quick lunch and were not disappointed. We shared some sushi and then each had a wrap. My friend had the roasted vegetable and I enjoyed the tuna melt. Only downside, one sushi roll, 2 wraps (without sides) and one soda 50. Pretty steep for a little place like this, and portion sizes are not huge either.
Super great casual spot. Affordable pizza to feed a family. Love the vegetarian “meat” options. Thanks for making the cities best pizza!
Amazing pizza and super great value. New York style with even better ingredients and flavors! Honestly one of the top 3 places for pizza in the TC in my opinion.
quality Kosher place with good food and really great service! Dude was really patient with my 4 toddler nieces and nephews while we grabbed some pizza and fries. I loved how much olives my pizza had and the seasoning on the fries was delicious. Clean space with lots of drink options. Super nice locally owned business.
