Description
This single-location, family-owned joint keeps things straightforward. Slices are built on dough made from scratch daily and topped with a sauce of vine-ripened San Marzano tomatoes. Beyond the pizza, the menu covers local staples like beef patties with cheese and a saucy chicken parmesan. Because indoor seating is limited to a few spots against the window, it is a grab-and-go affair where slices are toasted right before they are handed over, ready for a shake of seasoning at the counter.
