Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—it's counter-service and more functional than atmospheric. Better suited for a quick, casual bite.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—seating is first-come, first-served with no reservations taken. Most orders are takeout or quick dine-in.
Is it kid-friendly? Very—kids love the slice variety, and there’s no wait for service. High chairs not provided, but it’s stroller-friendly.
Best For
Better for: Fast, inexpensive slices and family convenience—ideal when you want something reliable without committing to a full meal.
Skip if: You’re looking for a sit-down pizzeria experience with wine service or artisan-style pies; try A16 or Roma Antica instead.
