Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a formal date—it's counter-service and casual—but great for a laid-back lunch or quick post-work bite.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, all seating is first-come counter-style; indoor and outdoor tables on Belden Place open up frequently.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes – quick service, simple menus, and big slices make it easy for families with kids 5 and up; strollers fit best at outdoor tables.
Best For
Better for: Faster turnaround and larger, classic NY-style slices than nearby boutique pizza spots.
