I'm from Brooklyn, so I've had my share of good pie. This was as close to taking me back to my days in Bed-Stuy as I've tasted since moving south.

That said, the crust was very dry and that made the overall experience itself a bit less satisfying.

My husband found his slice to be a bit on the salty side and while I felt the flavor was good, again, the crust was almost inedible.

I might go back again if I'm ever in the area, but my first trip here was under-whelming, to say the least, based on the awesome reviews.

The good; nice staff, and the slices are giant, you really only need one slice for a meal and at about $3 a slice that is a great deal. I got the chicken bacon and a meat lovers. The toppings were good, .... But the crust was Not good. It was Extremely dry and had no taste. You know how with most pizza you enjoy the crust, well I threw this crust away. Maybe I was there on the wrong day or something but the $5 pizza chain near me has much better crust with their square pizza. It was very popular Saturday night at 8:30 or so. Use paid parking across the street or you will spend a lot of time trying to park.

Come hungry, leave happy. As advertised, the pizza is new-york style. Lots of variety. Affordable and delicious. Make sure to save room for dessert.

We stopped here because of the great reviews online. The pizza is great, but good luck finding parking. The parking lot across the street charges $8 to park for between 0 to 4 hours. If you can find a spot on the street (good luck), you will have to pay too unless it is after 6:00pm. We had several different types of pizza (by the slice) and they were all AWESOME (buffalo chicken, pepperoni, lasagna, and sausage). We also had their deserts - wow! Highly recommend this place (after 6:00pm, for the free parking).
