This has been my favourite pizza since 1982. I'm basing my 5-star review on the following qualifiers; I always get there between 11 and 12 noon, so I usually get a slice of pie right out of the oven. I always get the plain cheese. I'm sure the…More »
As I've written before, I feel that to truly judge a pizza, it should be at it's simplest; plain cheese (See Ray's, NYC), and straight from the oven. I'll definitely have a slice when on the run, but I won't judge a pizza place by a slice that's…More »
I feel that to truly judge a pizza, it should be at it's simplest; plain cheese (See Ray's, NYC). I was meeting Jonathan K here at 6 pm, so called in our order before heading over. The very polite and efficient woman who took my order informed me,…More »
Had the Arrabiatta slice (Jalapeno, Garlic and Mushroom) on January 20. This was my second visit, and I will vouch for the fact that these slices are BIG. They make "The Big Slice" slices seem small. Very cheesy and good. I usually ask for "easy…More »
I was looking for pizza in the neighbourhood in mid-January, and this place was recommended. I spied the prepared slices in a display case and decided to take a pass, so can't comment on the pizza here.

This was my first time. The warm olives were good, the pizza was very good, and the chocolate gelato was amazing. Was it really gelato? That's what it said on the menu, but on the bill it said ice cream. Anyway, it was excellent.

Everyone knows the pizza, so I won't comment, except to say, try the arugula! ;-)
Two quick points...met a friend at noon on a Thursday, and the service was perfectly fine, and it was packed by 12:30.
Second point...this was the best caffe Americano…More »

As the 55th review for this popular pizza place, feel free to totally ignore it.
Quick overview;
We thought we would avoid a line up by arriving at 6:30 on a Saturday night. We were wrong. By 7:30 there was a bit of a lull, so that may be a better…More »

Yay, thick crust! This term doesn't really do it justice, though, 'cause it's actually a crispy/fluffy home-made focaccia crust. Tasty!
The toppings are varied and of good quality. The thick slices are on display, but they will also make a…More »

I really wanted this place to rate higher. I first went there in the early 80's. I specifically remember a visit in 1984, where it was the first place I took my pizza-connoisseur friend from NYC. It lived up to his expectations back then.

This place looks pretty new. We arrived just after 12, and for the next 75 minutes, we were the only customers.
The 10" pizzas - 1 plain cheese and 1 Vegetariana (broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms and artichoke hearts) - were thin…More »

Back for a perfectly good breakfast, with friendly, attentive service, and above average toast.
Although we've lived in the area for years, we stopped going here about 15 years ago because they… Read more »
Last week, I had the eggplant sandwich with mushrooms, peppers, onions, cheese, tomato sauce and a few hot peppers. Seems impossible, but it was bland. I will definitely give this place a second chance, though, because the pizza looked good.

Went in for a quick veggie slice today. Don't.
