Really delicious New York pizza. Perfect crust. Hot melted cheese on top of balanced tomato sauce and tasty toppings. We’ve got ricotta spinach, sausage and peppers, and pepperoni. Not fancy pizza but it is everything that we have expected as NYers. Fast delivery.

I ordered large size (18inch) pizza with pepperoni. Very very delicious, especially the pie crust was chewy and delicious. And also the staff were also cheerful and kind! Thanks!

Classic NY Style pizza right off of Times Square. We went here before seeing a show and were very happy with the quality and speed. It was nice to see the photos of the famous people who have eaten there before. They have a small dining area but turn the tables quickly. The garlic knots were not as garlicky as I would have liked so next time I would just get pizza. Overall a good spot to stop in if you’re looking for pizza in the area.

We went there for a quick bite before going to the Lyric Theater and ordered the meats lover pizza and pepperoni and chicken strombolli; those were delicious. They had little salsa which was a win for our group, and the flavors were balanced The staff was very nice and very quick. Would definitely go back if we’re on the area

Great food, for great prices, with an awesome location. Wasn't too busy, and I was able to get a seat without a wait. They even brought the food to me after I got settled in! I love the pictures of the owner in the back of the store with all the celebrities who visited. Very cool place.

Some AMAZING NYC PIZZA!!! I got the meatlovers slice & a spinach stromboli. Delicious!!! Everything was hot and fresh, and we didn’t have to wait forever! Everyone was super friendly and it wasn’t expensive at all, considering it’s Manhattan.

We got a buffalo chicken pizza slice and square cheese pizza slice. The only thing I would say is that it needed a little more sauce. But to be entirely honest, it was extremely delicious even with that critique. It seems very friendly, and service was quick. Price is worth the pizza
