Visited on a recommendation from someone who has been coming here since he was a kid (and he's in his 50s now). This is a solid pizza joint, especially for its Sicilian-style pizza.
The crust on the Sicilian was perfect. Thin and crispy just on the outside with a light and fluffy interior. There was the perfect amount of sauce and light cheese. (The sauce has a very deep tomato flavor. My preference is something a little sweeter, but it was still good!).
I also ordered the spinach and ricotta slice. Not worth it. It was so bland and the crust so burnt, that I ended up throwing it away and ordering a Caesar salad slice instead. A much better swap, as the slice was loaded with all the Caesar salad goodness you expect (including plenty of chicken).
My partner got the regular and pepperoni slices and said they were good (although he preferred the Sicilian too).
As a bonus, the restaurant is kept clean and the employees were all really friendly and helpful. While I wouldn't go out of my way to return, if I were in the area, I'd definitely pick up a...
Read moreI always scan this restaurant when taking the A train and finally decided to stop by after a long day of work. The establishment was well lit with a flat screen plastered up for guests to enjoy. The cashier was very friendly (a bit flirtatious but that’s okay). I was shocked to hear a grilled chicken Caesar salad pizza was only $3.75. He ensured this was a popular item and I had no choice but to order. I was only planning to have one or two bites before calling my cab but the slice was absolutely delicious. I wouldn’t say it was overly salted or anything. Baked to a crisp. I’m still sitting here allowing the food to digest. I’m not a crust lover but I certainly devoured every bite! The only issue I had was not being informed of the 4% up charge when using a credit/debit card. In this day and age where scamming and identity fraud are prevalent, the cashier should I restated the new total as opposed to repeating “$3.75”. Not a big deal but something they should bear In mind.

Read moreFood: My neighborhood pizzeria, I remember coming here after school for a slice. Now it got a face lift, with a whole new exterior! The food is what you expect it to be, good ol' no frills neighborhood pizzeria. Now I usually grab some food on my home from the A train. I've tried everything there almost. I usually get a regular (cheese slice) and a deli roll which is a high blood pressure inducing roll consisting of ham, salami, pepperoni and cheese. It is a roll of salty goodness (you've been warned). I'm also a fan of the Hippie roll which is sausage, peppers and cheese. Finally I have to recommend the rice balls which was also delicious. I also order their pastas, which is a very good deal for the portion size and you get a salad and bread with it (you can't go wrong with a carb coma) Again it is located at a very convenient location right off the A train on Rockaway Blvd.
