I honestly do not enjoy the flavor of this pizza. The sauce to me tastes like spaghetti-o sauce and the price per slice is outrageous especially considering I can go and grab a $1 slice right across the street in the old Gertz Mall. The pizza here smells and looks delicious and I'm sure they have other offerings that my appeal more to my palate, but I'm definitely not a fan of the pizza.
From my one experience, it deserves 5 stars. I haven't had pizza in months, possibly a year if you don't count the horrific chain "pizzeria", a family member requested… Regardless, I went in the afternoon, there was no line. L ordered a plain slice for us to share. I generally don't eat a whole slice, especially if I'm eating it standing outside. $3 is a bit pricey for the area, but I have to say there are plenty of restaurants around Jamaica that seem to price their food just as high, especially when there is nothing that comes close to it in the near vicinity.
Our slice was available right away, which L thought was odd. It couldn't possibly be hot… But it was. He couldn't even take a big bite, the sauce was like lava. The slice we had was delicious. I did use a few napkins to eliminate the oil on the bottom of the slice. The crust was perfect, it was thin and crunchy. Sauce wasn't too sweet. It definitely wasn't doughy, but anyone can have an off day. It's definitely one of the best slices I've had in Queens, though I admit I don't really eat pizza too often. Next time, I'll probably get a whole pie or two.
The place is busy and small. Walking in, it's two person wide, with people have the counter trying to order.
The slice is very good for a traditional NY slice. A good amount of cheese, not too greasy, a fair amount of saltiness balanced by the sweet sauce, a medium minus thin crust.
Then again, at $3, I would expect less in Jamaica. Joe's in Manhattan has a comparable/better slice at the same price.
Best Pizza Hands Down!!!
Is it worth the $2.75 per slice?! Absolutely NOT! That's pretty expensive for a plain slice of pizza. I don't even want to know how much it costs for toppings. Although it's on the expensive side, customers stand in & outside the little shop enjoying a slice of heaven.
This pizzeria is infamous for their pizza & usually is packed. It's a hole in the wall place & easily missed if you don't know that it's there.
If you've ever been to the Ave as most people call the Jamaica Avenue shopping area. You must try this pizza.
They've been here for well over 30 years and it's apparent why. Their pizza is really good. The sauce is good and the crust has a good flavor.
There isn't much seating area inside and the line is always pretty long. You can order from the window if you'd like.
It's guaranteed that you're always going to get fresh pizza here.
Delicious cheesy, big, old-fashion pizza!
My co-worker claims this is the best pizza ever. So we came here during lunch hour. Immediately at sight, there was a line around the counter of people waiting to be served. We ordered our slices of plain pizza. The booths have the old fashion pizzeria chairs and benches set up – definitely brings back happy pizza memories from youth!
A cheesy pizza is a good pizza! You can see the strings of cheese still connecting the slices of pizza when you pull them apart! The slices are pretty big, too! One bite, you are now tasting all the cheese just melting in your mouth as well as the crispy crust part of it!
My first taste of New York pizza sure didn't disappoint! The planets aligned, and the gods led us on a journey to find sustenance in this hole in the wall pizza parlor. Mind you, this is not for you calorie counters.
After an 8-hour flight from Heathrow Airport, Rob and I decided to stay in NYC for a night and catch the flight to Indianapolis the next morning. I desperately wanted some NY style pizza for dinner. But we can't! It's New Years Day. Everything's closed. Not a good start to 2015, I tell ya.
The next day, we checked the bags with a few hours to spare. The ladies at the check-in desk suggested Margherita Pizza since it was within walking distance of the train station. About 5 blocks. The place is not easy to spot though. A narrow store front cramped between a bunch of discount shops. The seating is VERY minimal. A few small booths in the back and a two standing bars. We ordered two slices and a drink each, which came out to $20 even. Not bad for two slices as big as yo' face!
I could see my reflection in the pool of grease on top of each slice. But OMG! It was the perfect combo of cheese, sauce and crust. I'm not a huge sauce fan, but their sauce is delicious! The menu offers slices, pies, heroes, and extra toppings. Drinks include fountain sodas and Snapple drinks. Prices are reasonable. Great spot to grab a bite!
It's 9:30am & to my surprise this spot was open! What's better then a fresh slice for breakfast. This has been my go to spot on the Ave for years, I noticed there has been a dramatic change in the quality of the pizza for the *Worst*. Not to mention now it's $3.00 for a regular slice!
I picked up 2 slices to stay, it was extremely oily beyond the norm! & yes there was a lot of cheese, but the cheese was flavorless. The only exception was the sauce, it was perfect tangy with a touch of sweetness.
They cut down on the quality of there ingredients, raised there prices & serve day old pizza (Greedy Owners) makes you think what goes on, where the eyes can't see!
