You know the pizza so good you just can’t help yourself even when your on a diet. I get the pesto every Friday. There was a time when they didn’t offer this, least to say I was going crazy. This is the only place that can make the best pesto and to make it even better they toss in calamari and shrimp. Absolute immaculate.

Small, no frills place in Newkirk Plaza with very good pizza. I enjoy supporting local small businesses. Not too sure about some of their 'experimental' offerings that are like Italian entrees on a pie, but I don't know...I may try one out one day. More

The best pizza in Brooklyn, in my humble opinion. We moved to Bushwick for a while and I fantasized about having this pizza again. The pizza, sauce, cheese, crust ratio is perfection. Also they take the ingredients to the edge of the pizza too. So the right thing and try this pizza it will make your life better. More

Quite a variety of unique slices with no compromise. I found the best NYC spot. High quality ingredients making a sweet tasting pizza sauce, in addition to shrimps, and squid. If you ever in the area you must give this place a try.

One of the best pizzerias I have ever been. The sauce, cheese, and crust are absolutely perfect. You don’t feel heavy even after a few slices, which essentially concludes on the quality of the pizza. I even walked half a mile to bring back home, and it was astounding even when not hot. More

It’s a trek out from Manhattan but worth it. I got a couple of their more creative slices - shrimp Alfredo and chopped cheese followed by their upside down Sicilian. The two slices were both good - great flavors and a good crunch to the … More

Just moved to the area and wanted some pizza. Love the location, as it's close to the train stop. The gentlemen working were kind and working hard. Had the veggie slice and a square basil and garlic piece. Both were thin, crispy, full of flavor. I will definitely be coming back and I highly recommend. More

Very good and consistent pizza. Prices are not atrocious. It's $19 for a large pie so it's like average. I paid cash so I don't know if there is a fee for credit card. Just sucks that I live far from here so by the time I get the pizza back home it's cold. But it still tastes good when I reheat it in my Ninja. More

I have had pizza all over nyc and America and this is ok. Di fara’s on J and L & B Spumoni gardens on 86th are way better options. Although the pizza is decent, it gets crowded, you can tell some of the pizza sits for a long time and then … More

Great local pizza place! A destination for many for the toppings they put on their pizza. My personal favorite is their upside down Sicilian. Hands down better than Spumoni Gardens. Fresher tasting sauce, thicker and tastier. Can feed 6-8 adults. I like to bring it home and put it in an iron skillet for a crunchy bottom. More
