I grew up around the corner of this precious place circa 1985-1993. This place defines the Staten Island pie- not your thin bar pie or overly doughy Sunday football nj plaza slice. Instead, it hits heavy with cheese- the best ingredient , with not compromising on the sauce or elevated crunchy dough. Surprisingly, no flop with the heavy cheese. John Franco would approve (as a bonus John Franco gave me the finger when I was 9 at a Mets game and yelled at him for blowing a save against the marlins).
