“Oh my goodness, this pizza is a must-try! I’ve been savoring it for around 65 years, and it’s still my absolute favorite. I’ve traveled the world, and it’s still the best. Plus, the toppings are fantastic, and it’s a great deal.”
— Jorge Haddock★★★★★
“Delicious! If you want the taste, the string cheese action, the aroma of garlic and sauce of a New York pizza, this is the place. The people are very courteous, the place is very clean and close to other shops/stores. I highly recommend it”
— J C★★★★★
“Excellent pizza 🍕”
— Armando Gomez★★★★★
“It was really good a few months ago but I've gone back twice since first going and it's definitely declined in quality and taste. They changed the chorizo from ground to sliced and it is defined not better. We love shrimp pizza and have ordered it every time a d each time it has less and less shrimps and flavor. I don't think I'll be back for a few months.”
