Pugsley Pizza: Restaurant, Bronx, NYC

Operating since 1984, this side-street staple expands beyond standard counter slices with calzones, hot heroes, pasta, and burgers alongside cold beer. Inside, the space carries an eccentric charm, outfitted with worn cushioned benches, an on-site gong, and plenty of seating. Welcoming, hands-on hospitality from the owners anchors the room, keeping the atmosphere relaxed and lively well into late hours.
