    5 Garlic Knots
    Julia H.

    There aren't a ton of pizza spots that come to mind for me in this area. I had walked by this place many times but never noticed it and tried it on a whim. If I had to characterize it I would call it more of a New York slice, salty greasy and very satisfying. Surprisingly the garlic knots were also very good and i don't even usually go for them! Pies are very big so definitely more for a group (though I ordered this just for myself lol).

    The so called Rice ball Which allegedly is actually made with risotto and had the consistency of polenta, yes polenta. Very disappointed.

    This review is based on the nasty tasting food that made me sick , the dried up so called Rice ball and the arrogant manager who spoke with me on the phone. According to the manager the rice ball is actually made with Risotto. That was the first red flag. The second was the lack of accountability , even after telling him the rice ball was inedible. Also - I have no understanding as to why they cut the rice ball in half. Maybe its an attempt to try and mask the polenta like texture. If I could give 0 stars I would. According to Mr.Arrogant manager no-one has ever complained. Smh. I highly doubt I will order from here again . This restaurant needs to stop acting like everyone does not know what good food safe food and a rice ball is. I surely do and this is not it. It also made us sick. I am nauseous as I type this.

    I've used too good to go for this pizzeria many times and they have an amazing deal using it. 4 slices of pizza for 5 or 6 dollars. The pizza is generally pretty flavorful but the only thing that takes it from being a 5 out of 5 is the crust. It is very very often too crunchy. The perfect ny slice should be bendable without it breaking but almost every time I've gotten pizza here, it breaks and makes the crust not enjoyable. They have a lot of special slices and I would very much so recommend though. Tons of seats in side too!

    Big place. Stopped in to grab a slice and a beer for my baby hangover. Got a pepperoni Sicilian with a corona. Not too shabby. Could've been hotter. But not complaining. Staff friendly. Loved the decor.

    We came up to Brooklyn to visit family and told them we were craving some delicious authentic NY Pizza and they recommended. Was not disappointed!! Amazing and perfect! Service was great and delivered hot and fresh. Will definitely order again and looking forward to leftovers tomorrow! Pies were huge! Highly recommend

    Casual neighborhood spot serving some pretty good pastas. We've ordered delivery a couple of times before and then dined in for the first time. Service was super friendly, and I think it was the owner (?) but there was a kind older gentleman who kept checking on all the tables to make sure we have everything we need. We've tried a bunch of their pastas: carbonara, alfredo, vodka, bolognese. All of them were delicious. Maybe the tiniest bit on the bland side, but the pasta itself was perfectly al dente.

    Vegan cheese pizza with eggplant.

    They have vegan cheese! I usually get the vegan brick oven pizza with eggplant. The dough is delicious, they load it up with plenty of cheese, and they don't skimp on the toppings. The eggplant is not the best I've had, but still decent. I wish they offered more vegan pizza options rather than me having to customize my own. I got french fries as a side and they were great. A restaurant is often only as good as the cheapest item on their menu because it shows the care they put in the food, no matter what. You get a big portion of fries and they even top it with parsley (or cilantro?). Delivery is reliable as well, which is always a plus.

    Twice my best friend and I have ordered takeout from here and we weren't disappointed! Their eggplant parm sandwich, fries, pasta, and garlic knots are so tasty!

    Ok, this is a white pie with double pepperoni, and I'm here to tell you it's AMAZING. Look no further.

There's the main seating area and then two offshoot lounges, which aren't quite as cozy but offer different levels of quiet and ambience. I love all the random décor, antique signs, old arcade games as tables, a million lamps. It's like what nook is going for but you can actually sit down on a comfy couch most of the time. The guy working the counter has a lot of energy and clearly loves being there. The PB banana smoothie was yummy, very thick so could use a spoon. Mushroom toast was a bit pricey but you did get a lot of food for your money, the focaccia was crunchier than expected but all around a nice cafe bite. I just appreciate how this is such a gathering spot where you can watch bk life play out while working, it had a different energy from a lot of places in the area.

You've really went downhill. Everything is dreadfully smaller for the same price. You used to have a giant fluffy egg square on your breakfast sandwich and now I've gotten one lumpy small egg drenched in so much overly spicy sauce - that used to be more soft and palatable, I can't even taste anything else, to compensate for the lack of sandwich for over $12. Insane. The fries were the highlight of my meal and that's really saying a lot. $6.50 for one of the smallest iced coffees I've ever received... I think you're staying open on highway robbery alone. Or that the gentrifiers just don't give a damn. Honestly, I could've gotten something better at the Bodega for less than $35 after the Uber fees. I feel bad leaving this honestly, but... how you go from such a wonderfully established place to some dreadful experience is just sad. Do better, become yourself again, because unfortunately I won't be ordering anymore.

I first ordered a chai latte and he said I could do two different syrups so I got the pumpkin and salted maple, though I was worried about it being too sugary so he suggested I could just do half a pump of each. He asked me what the name of the order would be and I said "Aida" (the phonetic spelling is ah-EE-dah). And then I heard the other barista say something along the lines of, "oh Aida, how about 'Aida' rather not be here", pretty rude if you ask me. And then I ordered the spicy nook sandwich. And when another server called my named to grab it she didn't even knowledge me when I tried to thank her and instead she talked to her coworker while I was right in front of her. The sandwich was really good, so was my chai tea. I really like the pumpkin and salt and maple syrups too. I did like all the options for seating although it was pretty packed. I'd say if you have a big party get there early. By 7pm the whole place was filled. There was a huge majong club that came in and took the whole back area, it was so crammed there were lines for the bathroom. Over all I had a good time. I really like the music too just know it gets very busy in there. The employees I would say were hit or miss. The ones that were great though I really liked. Just seem like the ones who didn't really give attention to customers or were kind of rude seemed like they didn't wanna be there.
