Charges extra if you use credit card. Paid over $7 for 2 slices and a drink with surcharge. Special was $5.50. Almost 2 dollars for using credit. Not very fair.

This is your regular hole in the wall pizza joint. There’s a back road to the right of it with tons of graffiti if you’re looking for a spot to eat and take pictures. It’s in a sketchy side of town so be careful of your surroundings. Although the Pizza is good this place is very small with some nostalgic vibes to it. Enjoy and be safe

Good food friendly people
I placed an order through DoorDash for delivery an hour before the restaurant closed (40 minutes before the DD cutoff time). After waiting 30+ minutes for it, I received an email stating my order was cancelled by the restaurant. I got a refund from DoorDash but it was a huge waste of my time…and I’m still hungry :(

<Please read the entire review or you'll likely be confused about my stance. Thank you!><Out of consideration of those afflicted with ADHD & the easily distracted, please ignore the main review and accept in it's place a <tldr> you've wasted too much time already, order yourself a pie now (may I recommend you get fresh garlic as a topping?), food is great, a bit expensive and can be a longer wait than advertised but more than worth it!</tldr>For the rest of you, let me start by mentioning the food is a bit on the expensive side when compared to other pizza places. It was about $24 for a large pizza with one topping. I know you can easily get a couple top pizzas and a 2 liter elsewhere for slightly less than that but don't do that unless you are on a fixed income and in that case, what are you doing ordering out? Cook dinner at home... Every penny counts! But assuming you can swing $25 for a single pie, then read on.... I ordered online using the slice app which you supposedly get a 10% discount for doing. I don't know if it actually is much of a discount as the menu at the place has significantly lower prices listed in it though there is a sign next to the menus stating the menus prices are no longer correct and that the prices have gone up so its quite possible the slice app does indeed reflect the accurate pricing, I have not tried ordering in person or over the phone so I am unable to advise you on this though it's possible it might be cheaper in person. I can however say that based on my experience, the slice app is not the most accurate source of info as it stated that my food would be ready to pickup about 15-20min after I placed it and so I arrived about 22 minutes after I ordered, 2 minutes after the app informed me that the food was cooked and ready for pickup but when I spoke to the guy behind the counter, he informed me it was going to be right out but needed a couple more minutes which as I wasn't in a rush I said no problem and began to wait. I understand things happen, especially around dinner time when restaurant can be slammed with orders but that didn't seem to factor in that day as surprisingly despite it being dinner time, the place was basically dead that day. There was one table dining in and a minute or two before my food was ready, another customer walked in to place an order, that was it, that was everybody I saw the entire time I was there and so far as I could tell there wasn't anything else cooking in the oven or waiting for delivery, perhaps I had just missed it beat the rush? so it's hard to say why the delay and even stranger why the app claimed it was ready when clearly it wasn't but after having to wait another 5-10min past when the app informed me it was done, it finally actually became ready. Now normally given the wait and high prices, this would be the end of my review and I'd advise against the place but... (I know this is long but you have just made it to the surprise twist hooray! ?) not this place, not today! Despite the issues I have mentioned there is something that absolutely trumps all of that... the service? Heck no! It's the food! It was absolutely delicious! The fresh garlic (IMHO, the perfect pizza topping when made correctly and correctly it was made here!) was fresh, fell chopped and plentiful in proportion but not excessive. Had it been priced in the $15-19 range I would have said that the pie was a good size being large enough to easily feed 3 or 4 people. Were it a lesser pizza, I'd have declared $24 highway robbery, especially when you factor in the delays and the price but I'm telling you, that factoring all that in, it is still easily $24 delicious... I mean don't let this declaration of deliciousness give the owner of Pizza Town a swollen head or anything, it's definitely not $25+ delicious but it is just within the upper limit of what I might occasionally spend on a pizza (0k you win, I'd even pay $25! Hope they have fin

I grew up on Tiffany Blvd. My friends and I would come here all the time in the early to mid 80's.. We ate pizza but mostly dumped quarters into the video games they had. We stayed for hours and the brothers never complained. One of my fondest childhood memories. I'm so happy you are still operating in the old neighborhood.

But not say -10
Very friendly, and very good pizzas, I just happened by chance... but I liked it
Unfortunately, overall quality has gone down drastically. I used to enjoy this place as a child but not anymore.
