TLDR
Nostalgic NYC pizza staple back in action, serving up classic slices and underrated comfort sides.
Details
A nostalgic NYC institution that has recently returned to operation, drawing fans back for its classic pizza offerings [6]. While some patrons fondly remember it as a secret gem, others express mixed opinions regarding the consistency of the food quality [14], [15]. The menu features a variety of comfort staples ranging from pizza slices to satisfying appetizers like mozzarella sticks [12].
Food Overview
The menu focuses on Italian-American staples, highlighted by a popular vodka chicken parm [4] and highly recommended 'Grandma' style pizza [6]. While the mozzarella sticks are frequently described as an underrated menu highlight [12], other options like the Caesar salad pizza are viewed with skepticism due to concerns over sodium content [2].
Caveats
There is ongoing community debate regarding whether the reopened locations maintain the same standards as the original establishment [8].
