Can’t believe I’d never noticed this old school place before today. Has a Pizza Town vibe with pizza in league. Tasty!

My pie couldve used a few more minutes in the oven. Still a good pie though.

Solid classic jersey style slice. Great crisp and strong cheese game. Sauce was on the weaker side.

Great people! The building is a must see right out of the 1950s Plain slice: good undercarriage, great crust, sweet tasty sauce very good. 7.7 Bonus Sicilian: undercarriage could have been crisper, great crust, the middle was undercooked (first Sicilian of the day though) if it were a reheated slice i would say 7.7 too. I would come back here in a heartbeat.

A local hometown pizzaria where everyone that walked in was greeted by first name. A very tasty slice with sweeter sauce and generous cheese and oil. The crust was crispy and there was only a slight flop.

Nice local shop with a fresh tasting pie. Sauce was very well balanced and crust was crunch in every bite out of the box. Cheese was not salty. Worth a shot.

Had more flavor then I expected. A good amount of cheese and you can tell it’s made with good quality and care. When ordering a whole pie I think I would ask for extra sauce. Overall great “football pie”. No flop, little crisp and a nice crust.

Outside looks like a 1950’s diner, family owned, excellent pie, good sauce to cheese ratio, very good flavor, little flop decent crisp ... solid slice

Better than expected. Two dollars a slice. Pizza has very good flavor on the sauce cheese and crust. It is a little greasy as the grease is pooling on the plate. Overall good slice. 7.6 for a neighborhood pizzeria.

Yes, this is a “rookie” score. However I have Sally’s in CT. & Santillo’s in Elizabeth, NJ under my belt. This pizza is quality stuff. Structure is there, crunchy crust, the cheese and sauce taste fresh and have a good ratio. The big downside to this one is it’s a tad on the thick side. The Prez should try this local spot.

Excellent undercarriage and crisp. The sauce was very tasty. The consistency was also there. Very good.

Thin Crust Well Done: Crust: 8.2 Flop: 7.2 Sauce: 8.5 Cheese: 8:4 Avg.: 8.1 Great Pizza

I liked what I saw when I opened the box; I didn’t love what I tasted when I took a bite. This pie is, as the kids say: “THICCC.” Heavy football pizza with a thick layer of cheese and slightly crispy, but rather thick dough. There is a severe lack of sauce and flavor. The little sauce that is on this pie has a somewhat bitter, oregano taste. The crust has good crisp and crunch but is also flavorless like everything else on this pizza. Overall, a very disappointing and nondescript taste. Add more sauce, spice it up and dial back the cheese and maybe you’d have a pie in the low 7s.

Standard neighborhood pie. Decent crisp and flop. In the area? Give it a shot.

Super cheesy, crispy crust, not much sauce, but has a classic pizza flavor

Nothing memorable. Definitely a decent slice but not what I expected. Sauce and cheese were both standard. Greasy unfortunately which really hurt the score but surprisingly no flop. On the plus side the owner was talking Italian to his parents so you know this is the real deal

Great crunch. Excellent crust. But not a lot of flavor.

Definition of what a pizza should taste like! The ONLY reason this isnt in the 9s is i wouldve LOVED a little bit more sauce but; WOW, thats good pizza!
