I think the rating is fairly accurate. if i could, I would give 3 1/2 stars in my rating as they tend over more than under ok.
The best thing about this place is the gluten free menu. They make most entrees gluten free including the parmigiana dishes. This is hard to find at any other restaurant and my celiac wife loves all the choices. she liked the eggplant parm she ordered last week.
I thought the pizza was good, but the slices were not that big and I felt they could give more. I love the rice balls and these are very inexpensive, so you can indulge on a bunch of them without breaking the bank.
I will be back next time i need to get a full order, including gluten free food, next time as it is still good enough to warrant coming back without a complaint.
Don't go here late on a Sunday. I ate it because I was hungry.
I ordered something basic pepperoni slice & pinwheel.
The pizza is thin and flops as soon as you pick it up.
The pin wheel was dry as dirt and has way too much bread for the 5 slices of pepperoni in it.
This place had decent reviews and it's surprising they win local awards. It could be that they do actually make good stuff and just don't put in the effort every day of the week.
They only got two stars because I literally just witnessed the people in the photos live in action and I feel guilty for leaving 1 star. :{
I'm still a fan. Although I will fall short of a four star rating as they just don't give a showstopping effort.
I stopped in here last week one night (its literally around the corner from where I live) on Friday night at 630. I ordered chicken parm and a salad to stay. There were 25 people crammed in there picking up food, 40 orders waiting to be picked up, yet I still got a perfect chicken cutlet parm in just under 15 minutes. It was delicious, filling, and I was happy as I always am.
I still refrain from buying any of their single serve items when you walk in, for some reason they don't hold well, or maybe they just don't get much walk-in business. Who knows, who cares, just order to pick up whole pies and whatever else you want and you won't be disappointed.
The Sicilian, Vodka, Grandpa, and Grandma Pies are my favorites!
I wouldn't recommend thinking of this place as a sit down destination, it is strictly a take out place for me, my stopping in was just a fluke. As always though, to each their own.
Total last ditch stop to avoid a fast food joint. Can only comment on the stromboli with ham (amazing) and the signature potato and bacon pie (decent, a little dry). We did take out, the food was fast and ready.
Wouldn't go outta my way, but when the pickins are slim and you're hungry, worth a stop.
Best cheap spot in the immediate vicinity to eat. I worked closeby x5 years and this would be where I would go if I forgot lunch!
The pizza is standard here. I do like the buffalo chicken slices, very hearty for the price. Garlic knots are hella cheap. Be sure to ask for marinara sauce on the side! I never venture in the restaurant portion…. But you can still order entree items in the pizza shop and dine in. I like their penne ala vodka. It's a big portion! I had their tortellini in soup once and I was rather plain.
All the staff, and I mean all of them, are extremely nice. It's a family owned restaurant and they treat you as such! It's not super cheap here but standard pricing for a full belly. Parking lot out front, altho it could get packed as there are many businesses in this complex.
Working in the immediate area I have started frequenting this establishment within the last few weeks. As per many reviews the first slice I tried was the chicken penne vodka slice. Although others rave about it, I didn't think it was anything too spectacular.
The slice tasted mushy. Although the flavors were good, I couldn't get over the soggy texture of the overall slice.
The regular plain slice was just that, plain. The sauce was bland and desperately needed seasoning. Luckily, this spot does have hot sauce so with a few dashes of hot sauce the plain slices are doable.
The pepperoni pin wheels are really good. They're soft but not too soft. The pepperoni has a pit of spice to it, and it's a fair portion for $1.75.
The Caesar salad is essentially romain lettuce, 3 croutons, and a slice of Parmesan cheese. They tell you to grab the dressing from the fridge.
All and all, it's a decent place to stop for food if you're in the immediate area, but compared to pizza in Brooklyn and queens, it just doesn't stack up.
