Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited and competitive after 6pm, easier earlier in the day.
Dress code: Ultra casual — jeans, sneakers, and everyday streetwear are the norm.
Noise level: Moderate to loud during peak hours — music, oven noise, and steady foot traffic.
Weekend wait: 10–25 minutes for slices; 25–40 minutes if ordering a whole grandma pie
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait or under 10 minutes
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — multiple cheese-based slices and veggie-topped options available daily.
Vegan options: Yes — typically 1–2 vegan slices available at all times.
Gluten-free options: Limited — no dedicated gluten-free pizza program; cross-contamination likely.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only for very casual, low-pressure dates — there’s limited seating and a fast-paced counter vibe rather than a linger-over-wine atmosphere.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There are only a few counter spots, so tables aren’t really part of the experience — plan on standing or taking slices to go.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who can handle standing room and quick service; not ideal for strollers or toddlers due to the narrow interior.
Best For
Better for: Grandma slices, fast counter service, and satisfying mixed-diet orders with both classic and vegan options.
Skip if: You want a sit-down family dinner, stroller-friendly space, or a quieter, more relaxed pizza night.
