Logistics & Planning

Dress code: Ultra-casual — anything goes. This is a walk-up slice spot, not a sit-down meal.

Weekend wait: 5–15 minutes depending on line; slices move fast even when busy.
Weekday lunch: No wait to 5 minutes typically.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — cheese and rotating vegetarian specialty slices are usually available.
Vegan options: Very limited — occasionally a vegan slice, but availability isn’t consistent.
Gluten-free options: No — traditional wheat-based NY-style pizza only.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if the goal is casual and fast — it’s more of a grab-a-slice-and-walk vibe than a sit-and-talk date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There are no reservations and little to no seating — plan on standing or taking slices to go.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who like pizza; no high chairs or kid-specific amenities, but it’s quick and informal.
Best For
Better for: Late-night slices, fast turnaround, and budget-friendly New York–style pizza that hits when it’s fresh.
Skip if: You want sit-down dining, quieter conversation, or specialty diets like gluten-free or vegan.
