Alright I’ve been waiting to try this for a minute but the first issue is the cheese sticks probably the biggest waste of money ever little ceasers has better cheese sticks then this place. Secondly I don’t know where they learned how to New York style pizza but they definitely need to go hit a refresher course on how to do it the cheese was like low level quality and barely any sauce on the pizza. You could get better pizza from any of the chain pizza restaurants for half the price. Highly recommend trying somewhere else.

We got their Tuesday special, which is a free cheese pizza with purchase of 2 topping pizza. We ordered a mushroom and olive. Both were ok but the crust was bland and missing any flavor. But the up side is that the pizza was better cold the next day.

If you’re craving real New York–style pizza, this place absolutely nails it. The crust is perfectly thin and crispy with just the right chew, the sauce has that authentic tangy flavor, and the cheese melts into every bite like it should. You can tell they use quality ingredients and take pride in every pie that comes out of the oven. The atmosphere is laid-back but welcoming — it feels like a true neighborhood spot. The staff is friendly and fast, even when they’re busy. Whether you grab a quick slice or order a whole pie, you’ll leave wishing you had room for more. Hands down the best pizza I’ve had outside of New York. I’ll definitely be coming back! 🍕

I ordered 2 topping 2 slices only, no sauce for me, and paid for additional toppings. It was really good! Next time I'll ask for less cheese though. About 4$ per slice was a good deal!

I went in hoping to get a vegan pizza. Sadly, they didn’t have a plant based cheese. However, the person taking our order said she was vegan and made a recommendation. The veggie sub made vegan was great. My wife enjoyed her salad and several slices of pizza. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the service. I do wish they had dedicated vegan offerings on the menu. The menu did say vegan options available.
