Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is scarce and competitive, especially after 6pm; no dedicated lot available.
Dress code: Very casual—jeans, t-shirts, and sneakers are all fine.
Noise level: Low to moderate; easy to carry on a conversation given the compact space.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes for a table, though takeout is usually quicker.
Weekday lunch: No wait; quick counter service if open during daytime.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes – several pies like Margherita and truffle mushroom are vegetarian-friendly.
Vegan options: Limited – some pies can be made vegan if ordered without cheese, but no dedicated vegan menu.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free crust; best to avoid if gluten-sensitive.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you’re looking for something very casual and low-key—it’s more of a quick bite than a romantic setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, it’s walk-in only; seating is very limited, so many opt for takeout.
Is it kid-friendly? It works for older kids who can sit in a small space, but there’s no kids’ menu or high chairs—better for quick family pickups.
Best For
Better for: Budget-friendly thin-crust pies with bold flavors and quick service compared to sit-down pizzerias.
Skip if: You want a full-service dining experience, gluten-free crusts, or an extended group meal setting.
