A warm welcome, a simple yet friendly atmosphere, and above all, a pleasant surprise on the price front: excellent value for money. The pizzas are generously topped, the crust is light, and the ingredients are fresh—you can taste the care put into each topping. We'll definitely be back for a great time without breaking the bank.

The service was really good, and was super helpful, we had very strict halal diet restrictions and they were one of the only places in Manhattan that made accommodations for us. The pizza was also really good, would definitely go back. Outdoor seating as well. More
