Logistics & Planning
Parking: No dedicated parking; street parking is very limited, especially late at night. Subway or walking is strongly recommended.
Dress code: Ultra casual — anything goes. Hoodies, jeans, post-bar fits all feel normal.
Noise level: Moderate — steady foot traffic and street noise, but fine for quick conversation at the counter.
Weekend wait: 5–10 minutes late night; faster turnover than most nearby slice spots.
Weekday lunch: No wait typically.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — cheese, margherita, and veggie slices are usually available.
Vegan options: Limited — no dedicated vegan cheese; may be possible to request no-cheese veggie slice if available.
Gluten-free options: No — traditional wheat crust only, no gluten-free options.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if the goal is casual and low-pressure. This works better as a post-bar bite than a sit-down date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There’s minimal seating and no reservations — expect counter ordering and standing or quick sit-down turnover.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes in a basic way — simple slices kids like, but no high chairs or kid-focused seating.
Best For
Better for: Late-night reliability, fast service, and classic New York slice texture at a low price point.
Skip if: You want a sit-down experience, specialty doughs, or a more polished pizza destination.

Is it kid-friendly? Yes in a casual sense — simple slices kids like, but no high chairs or space to linger.
Best For
Better for: Fast, inexpensive late-night slices when you want zero decision-making and reliable execution.
Skip if: You’re looking for sit-down pizza, creative toppings, or a social atmosphere — this is utility pizza, not an experience.
