Was in the neighborhood for work and wanted to grab a quick bite—this spot was just a 2-minute drive and had pretty solid reviews, so I figured I’d give it a shot. It’s a classic hole-in-the-wall joint that looks like it hasn’t been remodeled since it opened. There’s a long counter with fixed stools and a few tables in the back.
What caught me off guard was that they didn’t have any pizza on display like most NYC spots. No pies behind the glass—just a menu with two types of pizza: grandma and regular. You pick your toppings (no chicken options though), and they also sell beef patties.
The slice was super thin, like those old-school joints in Elmhurst, almost paper-thin. I just wish it had a little more crunch. The sauce was bland, and the cheese was a bit too chewy—felt like I was gnawing on gum.
Still, it’s clearly a neighborhood favorite. While I was there, regulars were coming in saying they’ve been loyal for 15+ years. Orders kept rolling in nonstop. I’ve got love for spots like this—they bring back that childhood nostalgia of hitting up the...
Read moreHad previous eaten 2x at this local pizza place. I heard about it from a neighbor but since its not near the house, i never go there. The last 2 times we had just plain pizza by the slice, this time we ordered a large pie with mushroom and sausage. The sausage is sliced into small rounds and it slicex very thin, the mushrooms were in every crevice of the pie so the pie was loaded with the 2 toppings. I called ahead of time and within 20 minutes i drove to pick it up. We are excited that we found a new Pizza place since Gino and Villa rustica are 5 mins away from my house but their pizza quality had gone down. Thankfully, we have a new pizza spot and we cannot wait to try the rest of the menu. I love the pizza because they manage to make the dough thin, the sauce has a nice ting and it ia very flavorful. Just perfect pizza every time. Seems to be a husband and wife team that...
Read moreI know I'm going to take grief for this one but I didn't find this place to appealing . I liked that the place appeared like it hasn't been remodeled in since the 80s . It had an old school vintage appearance . So i checked online and found out that this place is the number one rated slice in NYC. Being a big pizza lover that title comes with a lot of respect and pressure to keep it up . I ordered a plain cheese slice and it wasn't anything crazy . The sauce and the cheese are what makes a pizza and quite frankly both were just as about average as I've ever had . I wouldn't come back after the heart break. The worse part about this experience was that I asked for a take home slice and the guy serving me was being so lazy that he asked if I wanted it heated because it made no sense for him to heat it ....
