This is my go to when I want a perfect plain slice. I usually order a pie and save whatever’s left for later. Try the Zeppolis for a great quick dessert. The garlic knots are small but really good.

Some of the best pizza in NYC and THE best for it's price. Plus the slices are huge! And I grew up in Brooklyn, so I am a pizza snob! Oh..and they know how to reheat the perfect crispy slice! Nice staff, too.

I am somewhat new to this pizza restaurant but am very pleased with not only the professional service provided but how good the pizza is here. I am impressed because not many make good pizza, fast and fresh. The staff here is great and would recommend it anytime to anyone in the neighborhood that loves pizza. The price is worth the slice and the pie price is a deal.
