Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Perfect for casual first dates - low-key vibe takes pressure off, sharing slices breaks the ice, and celebrity sightings give you conversation starters
Can I get a table without a reservation? They don't take reservations - it's first come, first served. Best strategy is arriving before 8pm or after 10pm to avoid the rush
Is it kid-friendly? Very - high chairs available, kids love watching the pizza toss, and the casual atmosphere means no one minds energetic little ones
Best For
Better for: Authentic NY-style thin crust that actually folds properly - better than Joe's or Prince Street for that true East Coast texture and char
