  • "The slices are good, and the sauce not overly sweet."
  • "Their sauce is perfection. It’s so flavorful, we just love it. The dough is the right consistency and tastes fresh."

Cons:

  • "If this place has a rating of almost five stars then New York really does not no what good pizza is it was one of the worst slice I ever had."
  • "Garlic knots had way too much parsley. Couldn't even taste the bread. Tasted like eating a plant."
  • "The Instagram famous garlic bread is nothing but soggy bread dipped in cheese and more oil."
  • "The pizza was absolutely terrible. The restaurant sold me what seemed like a 1+ day old pizza with added cheese and pepperoni."
  • "The sicilian slice I had was burned and barely edible."

  • "The staff is very fast and friendly."
  • "Consistently delicious, great customer service."
  • "The employees were very kind as well."

Cons:

  • "Customer service isn’t any better either and interior is straight up dirty as well."
  • "Long story short, there are plenty of places in the east village with good pizza and better customer service."
  • "Guys at the cash register will also try to quickly skip thru the prices on the screen before customers have a chance to see how much they’re charged per item."
  • "This was a disaster of a dinner. Never again."
  • "I’m told they never made the pizza because the repeat order must have gotten lost."
  • "Don't get the cheesecake if you're getting delivery. It's not a real slice, but a tiny little pre-made cake about the size of a clementine. And for $8! Boo."

Price

Pros:

  • "The prices were normal as well!"
  • "$12 for my whole meal. Not too bad."
  • "A side of Garlic Knots for $1.75 is a steal."
  • "Definitely one of my new late night pizza spots for sure, the prices were normal as well!"

Cons:

  • "$4 a slice is steep. And the extra 4% charge for using a credit card cuts even deeper."
  • "It's expensive at $3.25 a slice even though the slices are a good size."
  • "2 cheese slices came out to $13.50, before tip."
  • "$20.00 for a pepperoni pie is absolutely unacceptable being that it tastes horrible."
  • "They charge an extra $2.50 per slice for 'tax' and using a credit card."
  • "These are absurdly overpriced. $6 for a slice of pizza is pushing it."
  • "Additionally, overpriced one it costs 5.75."

Ambiance

Pros:

  • "This is a great place to drop in at anytime."
