Logistics & Planning
Parking: Mostly street parking—availability opens up after 9pm but can still be competitive near bars.
Dress code: Casual—hoodies, jeans, and late-night comfort wear are the norm.
Noise level: Low to moderate—takeout vibe, so you can chat while waiting without raising your voice.
Weekend wait: 20–30 minutes for whole pies after midnight rushes; delivery may stretch to 45–60 minutes.
Weekday lunch: Not open for lunch—service starts in the evening.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—cheese and veggie pies are reliable staples.
Vegan options: Limited—no dedicated vegan cheese, but you can build a sauceless veggie pie.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free crusts available.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—it’s takeout-focused with limited ambiance, better for a casual night in than a sit-down date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There’s no real dine-in scene here—think pickup or delivery rather than table service.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for takeout—whole pies travel well for families, though there’s no dining setup or kid amenities onsite.
Best For
Better for: Late-night whole pies made to order, when competitors focus on reheated slices.
Skip if: You’re looking for slices on the go or a dine-in pizzeria experience—other Polk Street spots may suit better.
