The staff was friendly and so were the fellow customers while we waited for our meals. The place smelled mouth watering.
As a rebuttal to Shelly Price from a year ago: considering the offensive slur she directed at the service staff, that's probably how she was treating them. No one responds well when being treated like dirt. I have been going there since it opened. I have NEVER been badly treated by ANYONE associated with the restaurant. I cannot say the same about a few of the customers.
In rebuttal to Pat Sullivan from 10 months ago: any business which takes phone orders for pick must stop accepting phone orders a reasonable amount of time before the establishment closes. To expect the establishment to take food orders, and then hope that customers will show up in a timely manner which will allow the employees to leave on time to go home to their own families is UNreasonable on your part. Although the diningroom was still open while you were there, the PHONE ORDER PORTION of their business was closed. I have experienced this situation myself. I saw, and still see, no reason to be offended by this common business practice. Would you like to sit around waiting for a late customer AFTER YOUR BUSINESS HAS CLOSED FOR THE NIGHT? The register cannot even be closed out until that very last customer has paid. That puts all of the daily paperwork late, and possibly, if you think about it, an employee at risk having to stay extra late to finish up.
I hope to be able to keep patronizing this great restaurant for many...
Read moreTimewarp: this place has changed in exactly zero ways since I was a child. I'm approaching 30 now. I went there regularly as a kid with my parents, and I still go as an adult, with my dad. Always clean, always tasty, but they definitely should update the place - it's dark inside and severely outdated, but that's part of the charm?
Pinball, Pac-Man machines while you wait for your food; greasy pizza, toasty subs, and unlimited sodas; paper plates, plastic utensils, foam cups only; dimly lit interior; Picasso-esque paintings on the walls; several full wall murals depicting ancient Odyssey - this place is a Cocoa institution.
Either the pizza is amazing or it tastes amazing because it's the pizza of my childhood. So much grease, so much cheese, uniquely crispy crust.
Super freaking cheap - 10" pepperoni pizza for $6, slices off a 14" are around $1.25 (slices available at lunchtime; you can see what's available on the table behind the counter). Subs are very reasonably priced, too.
Take-out and sit-down. Maybe cash-only, or a...
Read moreBackground: Been to NYC 15-20 times and have had pizza there often. Travelled across Italy three times and had amazing pizza there as well. So I've had a lot of great pizza. Oddly the pizza in both locations was cheaper too (as little as $6 for a pie in Napoli).
Review: Got two 14" pizzas: a pepperoni/ sausage and tomato/ bacon. The former was a little too salty (bad choice in combining two porks on my part) but the latter was very good. The pizza was good but not exceptional (wish we had the option for fractional stars as I'd give them 3.5-3.75). Their toppings were fresh and tasty to be fair. On the value curve they're inline with Dominos, just further up the curve. Worth trying but not going out of your way for. Service was good.
They might actually be the best pizza in the county, but that's saying just as much about their competition as it is about them (low bar).
Will likely not return as I'm okay with Dominos for...
