Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, if you want something casual and low-pressure. It’s better for quick chemistry checks than a long, romantic sit-down.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There’s no traditional reservation system—seating is first-come, first-served and bar-style. Solo diners and small groups usually find space quickly.
Is it kid-friendly? Better for teens than young kids. The bar-style setup and late-night energy aren’t built around families, but earlier visits work fine.
Best For
Better for: Creative slice combinations, crisp crust structure, and a late-night pizza stop that still feels intentional rather than greasy.
Skip if: You want a full sit-down pizzeria experience, a classic NY slice-only menu, or strong gluten-free accommodations.

8.2
A 900-degree-oven slice shop with a real bar vibe—built for a late bite that still feels curated. The move is to mix one comfort slice with one chef-y flavor, then let the room carry the rest of the night.
Must-Try Dishes:
Truffle cacio e pepe slice, Vodka pesto square slice, Pepperoni with hot honey slice
Scores:
Value: 6.9
Service: 7.7
Consistency: 8
Food Quality: 8.6
Atmosphere: 8.2
Cultural Relevance: 7.2

What to order: Truffle cacio e pepe, vodka pesto, pepperoni hot honey
Insider tip: Split two slices and one drink first, then decide your second round.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive; expect to circle at night. Rideshare or subway is the easier move.
Dress code: Smart casual. Jeans are fine, but the room skews polished-bar rather than pure slice shop.
Noise level: Moderate to lively — conversation is easy early, louder late-night as the bar fills.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes during peak late evening, faster if you’re flexible on seating
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — multiple meat-free slices and rotating veggie-forward options.
Vegan options: Limited — occasional veg slices without cheese; not a primary strength.
Gluten-free options: Very limited — no dedicated gluten-free pizza program.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, especially if you want something casual but still stylish. It’s low-pressure, shareable, and feels more intentional than a standard slice stop.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually yes, particularly later in the evening. Standing or bar seating turns over quickly, so short waits are common even when it’s busy.
Is it kid-friendly? Earlier hours work for older kids, but late nights skew bar-heavy and adult-focused. Not ideal for strollers or young children.
Best For
Better for: Late-night slices with a real bar scene, creative flavors, and a social atmosphere that feels destination-worthy.
Skip if: You want a traditional neighborhood slice shop, a quiet sit-down meal, or strong gluten-free or vegan accommodations.
