Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only for the most casual, no-pressure dates. This is a neighborhood pizza-and-ice cream counter spot - perfect for grabbing slices and soft serve together without pretense, but not a sit-down romantic destination. Better for established couples or friends.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes - no reservations taken or needed. It's counter-service style: order at the counter, find a seat, enjoy. Open daily 11am-9:30pm.
Is it kid-friendly? Absolutely - this is built for families. The pizza-plus-ice-cream combo is ideal for kids. Affordable slices, waffle cones, and soft serve keep children happy. Quick counter service means no long waits with antsy little ones. A true neighborhood family destination.
Best For
Better for: One-stop pizza and dessert destination - rare combo in the neighborhood. Extensive menu beyond pizza: homemade pasta dishes, lasagna, stuffed shells, baked ziti, calzones, heroes. Wide delivery radius covering Sunset Park, Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Borough Park, Park Slope, South Slope, and Gowanus. Great for families wanting dinner and dessert in one trip.
Skip if: You want a sit-down restaurant experience, need gluten-free/vegan options, or are seeking artisanal pizza. Choose nearby spots like Generoso's for bakery-pizzeria heritage or Royal Kings for specialty slice variety.
