Frequently criticized
- pizzaWhen I mentioned this, the lady at the front said, "oh that’s how we do it. " While I understand their approach, if you want to waste your money, then this is the pizza store for you. I would give it 0 stars if I could.
- foodcharged for food you didn’t receive

- whole piedidn’t see her throw out the whole pie
- Alfredothey don't use fettuccine for their Alfredo
- NY styledoesn't come anywhere near NY style

- cheese pizzaNot no reheated cheese pizza
- chickenChicken tasted like it was frozen.
- chicken AlfredoDo NOT get their chicken Alfredo. Chicken tasted like it was frozen.
If you're craving authentic NY-style pizza and generous portions, this place is definitely worth a try. Just be aware that some past experiences have raised significant food safety and quality concerns with other menu items, so stick to their strengths.

- serviceWe decided to revisit and were met with great taste in the pizza, which truly took us back to the feel of Brooklyn style pizza. Complementing the excellent food was the great and friendly service we received. It's a testament that all things can change for the better.
- staffThe staff is all wonderful, friendly, courteous, and treats you like family
- ownerThe owner here is so nice and welcoming
- peopleThe service was equally fantastic; the staff were very nice and made me feel important. The food was delicious, and the people were very nice. I was so impressed that I had to call them personally to express how much I enjoyed my meal.
- customer serviceThey make their bread and sauce from scratch, which is amazing. Roxy has always been amazing at customer service, and we definitely love this spot. We've stopped ordering from Papa John's because nothing compares to this spot!
- delivery servicetheir delivery service is really good
- employeesI love going there with my friends, and we enjoy it every single time. The employees are nice, and the food is amazing. I always take home a full pie for my family because of how good it is.
- ServiceService:5
- workersAs a former New Yorker, I can promise you if you’re a northerner (or just any human with taste buds), this is where you want to go. The workers are so nice and attentive. I go every week unless I’m traveling.
- Deliveryeverything was hot, delicious & satisfying
Frequently criticized
- serviceinstead of the girl bringing my pizza out to my table she motion for me to come to the counter and get it.
- customer serviceThey flat-out refused and offered no assistance whatsoever, despite my explanation that the pizzas were extremely hot. It was disheartening to be treated this way as a paying customer; their lack of concern for customer service was shocking. I suggest saving your time and money and looking elsewhere for a restaurant that values its customers and provides the service they deserve.
- businessHorrible business by not giving a full refund
- cashierThe girl at the cashier who is related to the owners is extremely rude.
- orderRefused to remake my order knowing they messed it up
- staffrudeness and disrespect I encountered from the staff
- workersa couple of workers there are very disrespectful and rude
- accountableNo one will be accountable
- apologizeDidn't apologize or try to resolve the problem.
- attitudeI frequently go to buy pizza and I do not like AT ALL that a service tip is imposed when I take my food with me. Tipping is OPTIONAL, and I've seen how the young lady who works there changes her attitude if I don't leave a tip. I am paying for my pizza, it's not free.
If you're looking for a place with potentially great service, you might find it here, especially with the friendly owners. However, be aware that some customers have encountered rude staff and poor attitudes, so your experience could be a bit of a gamble.

If youre looking for specific lunch specials or "2 slices and a drink" deals, this spot offers some genuinely affordable options. However, be mindful of potential unexpected upcharges or an imposed service tip for takeout, as these can quickly make it feel overpriced. Its worth trying for the specials, but proceed with caution on other items.

Delivery issues and rude manager
My experience with this restaurant's delivery service was extremely negative. The driver claimed the order wasn't fully packed, but the manager insisted it was. This led to a situation where no one was accountable, and I was charged for food I didn't receive.
To make matters worse, the manager was rude. I would not recommend ordering for delivery from here.

Cute Spot, But Pasta Lacked Flavor
The place is cute, and the booths reminded me of certain NY pizza spots. The slices were decent in size, and I appreciated being able to order them by the slice. My wife and I enjoyed the pizzas.
I also ordered a regular spaghetti with marinara, which came with 2 garlic knots. Based on other reviews, I asked for extra sauce, but personally, I still felt it needed more; that’s just me 🤷♀️. The sauce lacked flavor and tasted generic.
The garlic knots looked different from what we're used to, and I wished they had more garlic taste. Overall, it wasn't bad, but it's not NYC. I recommend taking your receipt to double-check; we trusted that our full order was heard, but a slice was missed 🙄.
