Let me start off by saying that the moment I walked in it was great vibes! The staff was friendly and with great energy and more importantly very enthusiastic. I ordered the burger and give it an 8 of 10 the onions were caramelized for 6 hours which gave it such a great flavor. Will definitely be coming back! #

This is just for wait time. See attached photo. 38 min for one burger and one slice!! They make the smash burgers in groups but I still don't get why it took so long. Just one slow cook bc not that many people. Very nice lady taking the orders. Way too long to eat a burger. If you have a hungry kid or walked here from blocks away bc low parking, just don't. Probably a great place for stoners with no schedule. Smells great.

It did not live up to the hype that lives in these reviews in my opinion. The food was good, but not GREAT. The burger was incredibly simple and good flavor, no complaints there. Was it worth $8 for the burger? Not in my opinion.

The pizza was pretty good, got a slice of cheese and a slice of pepperoni and for the value it was good. No flop which is a great sign, but didn’t deliver an out of this world experience like I was lead to believe after reading reviews of how “perfect” it was. As others have mentioned, the restaurant is pretty dirty. I get they’re going for a grungy vibe, but the restaurant shouldn’t be physically dirty.

The burgers are alright, not a fan of their mayonnaise aioli sauce. Was a good burger but I wouldn't come back for it.

Now the pizza is fire, delicious sauce and nice and crispy.

Vegetarian options: It's very small in here so you will most likely be dining to go.

Delicious "flat cheese burger 🍔," so tasty that I forgot to ask for ketchup..., positively succulent! Best white, spinach pizza since Delizia' on 3rd and 83rd in Manhattan.🤤😋

Pizza is great. I've had their burgers at their other location and it's by far the best burger I've ever had. We've been ordering pizza every Friday for months. However, we were feeling burgers today and I attempted to order one burger without mayo due to an egg allergy. I was told that the manager allowed 0 substitutions and that if I wanted to modify my order, I needed to go to the University location. I was flabbergasted. I have an egg allergy, I'll end up in the hospital if I have mayo. I explained it was an allergy and was told again that 0 substitutions were allowed. I could understand if it was a soup, or pre-made salad, or some situation in which removing an ingredient was difficult. This is a condiment, something that can be easily omitted. Further, I have a legitimate medical reason for requesting the omission. If I was being picky, fine. But this is truly a medical request. This is such an inflexible rule that we cannot justify patronizing either location again. Pizza Friday's will be somewhere else.

The place is very small, it only has 4 or 5 tables for two people in case you want to eat there, but depending on the time there may not be room. Most people order takeout.
It's not elegant at all, I wouldn't even say casual, it's more of a place for a quick lunch or an option to eat something at night because it closes late.
They only sell hamburgers and pizzas, which are delicious, the truth is they do have a good flavor, although not the best presentation and no options either, just as they prepare it that's how it is and they don't have accessories or dressings, but they are not necessary since both the pizzas and the burgers are delicious

Parking: There is no parking and it can sometimes be difficult to find parking.

Went there for the first time and was very rudely attended. The music was super loud. The person taking our order seemed very uninterested and wanted to end our order every time we asked for something, didn’t even ask if we wanted the food to go. It seemed as if you weren’t a regular there they treat you rudely. The food was okay, it looks like they just threw the slices of pizza in the box, there are better places with better customer service. Definitely would not go again.

Loved this little spot- we went to try the burgers and we were NOT disappointed! Great flavor and roll was fresh. I saw their white pizza while ordering and was debating to order that, too, but decided that I would probably be full from the burger. The very kind cashier/worker surprised me a few minutes later and brought me a slice on the house. OMG that pizza was so good with lots of garlic and ricotta- couldn't stop eating it. Can't wait to go back.

Way too loud. But I can bear it. The burgers are that good. Pizza is ok. Not worth the parking and the boom box on level 10. But the burgers are super legit.

Their dirty flat top burger is simple and delicious! Also I love their pizza options with delicious ricotta cheese. Their prices are very reasonable especially being in north park. This is my go to for fast casual pizza and burgers

Good Ol' fashioned burger, straight to the point, reminds me of the show Roseanne. The combination of crunchy, melty with the onions is so delish. First time here, good burger. ?

Burgers are great, just can't handle the environment. I know being rude is their thing, but its a bit much. Be sure to tip, or they will give you a hard time. Usually I don't tip until after I eat, but they wanted it before. I grew up on rap music and still love it, but the amount of n-words was excessive and so loud. Made me uncomfortable so won't be back to this location.
