"You can get some good NY-Style pizza for a great price. However, service is slow and the place can get cramped really easily. There are no official parking spots, so you'll have to be content with parking your car next to the road. The place is hot and the waiters don't really give good service."
Kai Feketefoldi
"It so dissapointing that I always go there to eat because the pizza and service was so good, but this time I went and I asked for the bathroom and they told me that he bathroom wasn’t in service for the customers. After that they took a pizza box and covered there faces while talking behind my back. I feel that they were doing some really disrespectful actions towards me and also my kids that were also with me. It’s unaccetable that any restaurant is open without a bathroom, especially the fact that they sell beverages and kids are allowed. You never know when the kids need to go to the bathroom, and when the food doesn’t go down well it’s even worst."
