Logistics & Planning
Parking: Mostly street parking, but limited and competitive near Civic Center—paid garages at Turk/Polk or Civic Center Plaza are the most reliable options.
Dress code: Casual—jeans, tees, and sneakers are the norm; no dress code enforcement.
Noise level: Moderate—steady music and chatter, but you can usually hold a conversation without shouting.
Weekend wait: 15–25 minutes for slices; whole pies can run out fast by 7pm.
Weekday lunch: 5–10 minutes, though the line moves quickly even at peak.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—rotating veggie slices and squares are available daily.
Vegan options: Limited—occasionally a vegan-friendly slice, but not guaranteed.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free options or crusts.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for casual hangs than a formal date—small space, counter seating, and quick service keep the vibe low-key and fun.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—no reservations are accepted. Seating is first-come, counter-style, and turns over quickly.
Is it kid-friendly? Fine for older kids who can handle a busy counter-service setup, but limited seating and crowds may be tough for toddlers or strollers.
Best For
Better for: Inventive slices with chef-driven toppings and fast turnaround in a compact space.
Skip if: You’re looking for a sit-down, full-service pizza dinner or need gluten-free crust options.
