When to visit: Late afternoon to avoid the peak sidewalk rush
What to order: Margherita, pepperoni, four cheese

Logistics & Planning

Noise level: Moderate—lively foot traffic and counter chatter, but fine for quick conversations.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes during peak evening hours, mostly counter line movement.
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait; quick in-and-out.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—multiple classic cheese-based slices and veggie-friendly options.
Vegan options: Very limited—no dedicated vegan cheese; plain marinara-style options only if available.
Gluten-free options: No—traditional pizza only, no gluten-free crusts.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you’re aiming for ultra-casual. It works better as a low-pressure slice stop than a sit-down date destination.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—seating is casual and first-come, but space is limited. Be ready to stand or eat quickly during busy times.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—simple slices, fast service, and flexible seating make it easy with kids, especially earlier in the day.
Best For
Better for: Quick, classic slices at a fair price with no-frills execution—ideal for a fast reset while exploring Little Italy.
Skip if: You want a destination pizza experience, specialty pies, or a relaxed sit-down meal—look elsewhere for more atmosphere or creativity.
