Description
This hole-in-the-wall counter earns its reputation on the strength of its crispy-crusted pizza slices, layered with balanced sauce and gooey cheese. However, the kitchen shows some inconsistency with sandwich preparation. While the pizza remains a reliable favorite, the chicken parmigiana and other hearty subs can occasionally turn up dry or under-sauced, particularly on delivery orders. Getting the best out of the menu often comes down to who is behind the counter; regulars suggest looking out for the older gentleman making the food.
