Best NY style pizza in town!

New to the Reno area and I spent months trying to find a legit delicious pizza place and we found it! This place has some of the best pizza my family and I have ever had. The crust is always cooked to perfection. Oh and the cannolis are a must! The best cannolis I've ever had. Now anytime family or friends visit we take them here and of course i have been raving to everyone I've met about this pizza! Keep it up guys!

Greeted me at the counter, friendly, pizza makers right there in front too. Boutique vibe with great chill atmosphere. Pizza was yummy, fresh toppings, great crunch on the crust. I only wish it was wood fires.

The best neighborhood pizza spot. Very warm and welcoming staff. Excellent service. Good prices. Their White, Sicilian pizza is sooooo good, dresses the way you requested it.

Nice people, great homemade food. The Sicilian squares and delicious salads w dressings hit the spot. And I know this, as I’m from the east coast originally!

Great NY Style Pie, and pepperoni was a hit with the family. Worth a go if you haven’t been here.

Yes, it was busy. Yes, we waited a while. YES, it worth the wait! The staff said this was the busiest they had seen it, and they handled it extremely well. The food was great, and due to the long wait, the manager went above and beyond our expectations. We will absolutely be returning and recommending to everyone!

Love the cause, but I love the pizza too. Hard to find quality pizza in Reno without spending 2-3x and the quality rarely matches.

Crisp, light dough and quality toppings make this my go to spot for good pizza.

I first heard about this place a few years ago in an episode of the New Jersey Is The World podcast, in an interview with the owner of Secret Pizza in LA. He mentioned how good the pizza was, and the original owner was an NJ native like he was. I don't get to Reno much from AZ so when I was in town for a few days, I made a point to go.
We got two large NY style pizzas, one with sausage, mushroom, and fresh basil, and one with pepperoni and mushroom. They both had excellent crust, crispy yet chewy, not too much cheese, and the pepperoni was natural casing so it cupped nicely. It was perfectly spicy and was pretty much a perfect pizza.
We got some of their cannoli for dessert, and the shells were very crisp and seemed homemade. The filling was lightly sweet with a good hint of cinnamon.
I'm sad I don't live in Reno because they would be my go-to pizza place! Definitely go if you're in town, you won't be disappointed.

Great pizza, but please—set up online ordering or at least a working voicemail. It’s incredibly frustrating to call over and over (literally 50 times!) just to place an order. It shouldn’t be this hard. Why do we continue rewarding mediocrity week after week? Because the pizza is actually good.

But our $60 weekly order alone could cover the cost of online ordering twice over. Come on, guys! Right now, I’m not exactly “smiling with hope” as I sit in my hot car waiting on two pizzas that I should have been able to call in 30 minutes ago. Get it together and start delivering excellent food AND an excellent guest experience.
