We asked if any place was still serving. The "MAN" Vic asked what we would like, from one of the tables. In no time we had a bottle of Vino Tinto in front of us and people were making us try food they were dining on. I felt like I was at my friends ,' THE PIAZZAS " house. The food was excellent and the people better. Can not wait to go back !“

“Nice set up here with both indoor and outdoor seating. They have a pizza oven in the back that is slanging some good stuff out. The pizza michaelango was pretty good. It had albanian sausage on it. It was a little oily for my liking but still good. The regular pizza was also good. They do a nice job with the crust here. The burrata to start was just ok so would probably just stick with pizza next time.“

“Great service and their dishes have authentic Italian flavors that make them irresistible“

“Once inside, I find myself tasting all the treats in this veritable abbondanza of pastries, cookies, cakes and, of course, Teresa’s special Italian Ices. I’m especially partial to the Lilly with Nuts. It a uniquely New York flavor that Teresa captures so well. Although I’m not from the neighborhood, it certainly worth the trip. During one visit, I was fortunately confronted by a warm tray of freshly baked miniature sfogliatella sitting in parchment paper. I can still relish the experience. Whether it’s ices or baked goods, one is never overwhelmed by the note of sweetness, it rather the distinct flavor of the treat that shines through. You can’t go wrong here.“

“Love their Pizza . Always hot and fresh. Great Hero's and very tasty. Plates are excellent. Baked Ziti with Sausage a must try. Calzone oozes with cheese. Hero's come in 2 sizes.

“We just ate there for the first time. My family love pizza. They exceeded our hopes. The cheese stretched so far it was amazing.“

“We love ordering Angie’s for work lunches a few blocks down the road. When those pizza boxes make their way to the staff lounge we know it’s going to be a delicious treat. We often place a large order for a variety of pies including classic cheese, pepperoni, meat lovers, veggie, white, and Hawaiian. Every time we open the box and see the delightful sprinkles of oregano seasoning atop the fresh cheese pies we know we are about to bite a tasty Bronx slice. Thank you Angie’s for making our work lunch breaks something to look forward to. You are more than just a NY pizza shop! 🍕 ✨“
