Extremely flavorful and fantastic pizza. I am so happy to have a place near me with vegan options, and it's a really good vegan cheese! But the star of the show is the sourdough crust. Hands down the crispiest, yummiest crust I've ever had. Super thin but holds its shape and handles toppings.
The service is very friendly, and the restaurant is clean and bright. Love this place

Excellent pizza! Fresh toppings. Good variety of options. He also had single slices available to grab. So hard to find NY-style pizza here in Ventura. Definitely keeping this place in my back pocket when I need that perfect slice.
Real ny style pizza. Chill owner. Worth the price
