Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—it's more of a grab-and-go late-night slice spot than a sit-down setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—seating is first-come and limited, but most people take their order to go.
Is it kid-friendly? Fine for quick slices with older kids, but limited seating and late hours make it less of a family destination.
Best For
Better for: Faster late-night service and cheaper prices than most nearby slice shops.
Skip if: You’re looking for artisanal toppings, craft beer, or a sit-down dining experience.
