The thin crust was a little soggy until getting to where it's a little thicker where it was absolutely buttery delicious. It's a quaint NYC, Chitown hole in the wall with a few tables to allow for eat in. It felt like I was transported back to a pizza place in the 70s family run where everyone knows your name. The owner was initially there by herself. What looked like her son came in later. She was very nice and checked on us a couple of times to make sure we had everything we needed. I'd go again to try another dish to see if it has that homey Italian taste.

The restaurant itself is a classy joint but with a sterilized modern amalgamation but I'll add, I got my order to go. It does have life and pizzazz as if I were walking into a Don Corleone supported satellite restaurant of "the family" but they had a rogue designer. While I'm on the fence about the interior, the staff are cool but "it sounds nicer in Italian" (Goodfellas). Any who, let's get into the meat and lasagna of the review (ok.. that was a horrible stretch). Frozen mozz stix, why!? Pass on the stix unless you want to pay extra for the same thing Arby's serves up. The pasta aren't homemade, an important note and sometimes they're overcooked (bloated) and sometimes on the money. It's hard to determine what you'll get. I did like the friend calamari as they were tender although they had more breading than I care for, however that's a big subjective. In other words if you like a thicker breading you'll love it. I do wish they offered an aioli with the marinara but alas that's not an option. The best app is the antipasto salad. They absolutely nailed the flavors and ingredients. Bravo! As for the calzones they're pretty good but I prefer ricotta as mine had mozz only. Other than that, it was decent but limited. The pizzas were better than what's delivered from those fast food guys, but nowhere near the best in town. I found the dough decent but for the first time in a while, I just couldn't put my finger on what didn't excite me. Just ho-hum. I guess the ingredients were average? That said my kids enjoyed it, but it's pizza so their judgement isn't exactly gospel. They also like the meatballs and spaghetti. It was decent but not stellar. Overall, my experience was slightly above average. I guess when I see a buffet it planted the seeds of my preconceived notions. I'm not saying it's bad by any stretch but it didn't make the case for a memorable eating experience. Stop by if you have a lot of different items you want to get at one place but if you're looking for the best.......

I don't think I would come back , , unless I was in the area and wanted to feast on a really nice salad bar. This is not New York pizza, at best it's OK pizza. I really don't think they should have New York in their name because this is the furthest from New York style. Then you can get.. From the chew /to the color -to the flavor, the crust does not tell me I'm eating New York style pizza ,nor did the sauce. For the price point and what you're getting, it's OK. I have to say, though, when I walked up to the counter, and I asked who owns the place? Expressed that this was my first time there, There seemed to be a hesitation in admitting who the owner was, and then the young lady at the register said oh she's right over here on the oven. I looked up, made eye contact with a lady who was on her phone, who kind of like nodded and then went back to her phone. That was a clear message sent to me as one of your clients /guest /customers whatever label you want to use.. What an opportunity for her to step over hi -my name is -thanks for coming in. How was everything?, That personal connection is priceless. The message I received was I don't have time to be bothered by this. I'm on my phone.! Having owned two restaurants, one in Raleigh and one in Charlotte and launching another project spring 2027, I can tell you this goes a long long way, people will return for great service, decent prices, even if your food is substandard. All feedback is positive. I wish the best for this establishment.

I wanted a quick snack of some wings before I picked up some sandwiches to go. I went belly up to the bar for my order with only one other person sitting at the bar. Said person proceeded to tell me that this place was recently robbed and also talked about how she thought her car was haunted. She told me multiple times that she didn't drink while she was drinking. It was strange, but I'm not going to dock the restaurant for that, they can't control their patrons. I think the prices have gone up a little compared to the menu I saw online. It was $35 for 2 Reubens and 6 wings. I guess that's about right for these days and times, but seemed like it was a couple bucks more than it should be. I'll probably be back, but just going to call my order in next time.

The server was very nice, but overall, I waited too long (especially during lunch) for everything- I didn't end up being able to eat much of my food before I had to leave. As for the food, the place recently changed ownership. There was a small middle eastern menu along with the Italian menu. I ended up ordering the lasagna as the waiter said it was popular. The portion was a nice size, however, the flavor left a lot to be desired. Overall, I don't think I will be returning.

What more could one ask? I mostly choose their Classico Lasagna with a salad since I avoid making both at home. Lasagna is too time consuming, and why is it that a salad always tastes better when someone else makes it, right? Olive Garden makes me happy when I chose to let them cook for me. Despite some low scores (almost every national franchise of any restaurant gets low scores), this location is dialed in for my wife and me. Looking for someone else to cook today? Has my "Give 'em a whirl" meter covered in marinara sauce and dripping with cheese. Dine here.
