Description
This counter serves classic New York–style pies with a crust that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Alongside standard slices, the menu features specialty toppings like the popular Buffalo Chicken Pizza. While some visitors note it is not the absolute best slice in the city, it is widely valued as a cheap, no-frills option with generous portions and fast, honest service.
