Visiting from Florida, and wanted some real NY pizza. We were not disappointed! Nothing fancy here, just a basic pizzaria. Got the cheese slices. The crust was crispy, and sauce was tasty. I even got to compliment the pizza maker (Giovanni?), who said he's been making pizza "for a long time". It shows.

OMG. First time here, just passing through town. Got the meatball sub half - and it’s huge! And the taste, it’s exactly as I remember from my days growing up here. The texture of the hero was spot on!! Meatballs must have been cooking all day, delish!! If I’m still in town tomorrow, I’m coming back to try their eggplant parm!

My brother and I have been coming here since before we had teeth. We have been eating their godfather for 20 years and the sandwich never misses. Have been eating one once a month since the first taste. From babies gumming it to mush to full grown working adults coming for lunch. If your only ordering the godfather for yourself your in and out in less than 5 minutes. The owner is a bit of an ass on the phone but is hard working and knows how to make a customer happy. I hope I die before they close or I’ll be pissed.

It's not going to win any awards for interior design, but if you are looking for good food look no further. The subs here are great, as is the pizza. It's a family business, and the people who run it are very nice and friendly. I have been going to this restaurant since I was a child and have never had any complaints.

Delicious! Thin soft crust, blistered so it’s crusty and chewy at the same time. We ordered the God Father pizza and it was perfect. Home made meatballs and Italian sausage browned and thinly sliced

Are you looking for delicious food? Good prices? It's here! If your looking for marble floors? Waiters to take your order & fine wine? Don't come here. I have been coming for 3 years now and the meatball sub is as delicious as the first time. The staff are friendly and helpful. Thanks for great food!
