“ Have only ordered take out but the pizza is DELICIOUS!! My husband and I recently moved from NJ to the area and this is the best pizza we have found without traveling to Old Forge. The staff are very friendly as well and food is always hot and fresh. This has become our go-to when ordering pizza. ”
“ I love this place, truly. everything I've ordered over this year has been amazing. I especially love their vodka sauce. I first had it with their pasta and it was lovely. I got a side of it with my cheesesteak calzone to dip, and it made it extra amazing. Their pizzas are pretty thin and crispy, and as jersey girl I really love that. ”
“ First ti.e I had their food. Delicious. We will be ordering during the week from here. Good pizza, good sammich ”
“ Food was so good. I don’t know if they make their bread but it was delicious! I wish I could stop in and buy a bag of bread! I called to have parmigiana added to my online order and the woman who answered was so nice and didn’t forget to add it to my meal, no charge. I will definitely be ordering here again. ”
“ I tried this place for the first time tonight and let me tell you .. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS the penne vodka was amazing .

The staff was very polite , helpful and nice when I called as well . They’ve gained a customer for sure if you haven’t tried it , you won’t be disappointed ”
“ Food and service is impeccable! Wanted to go to a pizza place but they usually fall flat. They advertise as NY style. That definitely hits the nail on the head. We had the following while here: Large pepperoni pizza Large Sicilian Order of rice balls Order if chicken fingers (for the little ones) And a stromboli (this was so good we forgot to take a pic!!) Oscar was super helpful in suggestions and made sure we had everything we wanted/needed. The food was amazing pizza on point and my kids (who never ask for seconds) wanted more chicken fingers and pizza!! If you are unsure and are reading this review it is your sign to come here and make this your lunch/dinner choice. ”
