Wow! This pizza blew my mind with its flavor I am a lover of Neapolitan and Roman style pizza and this pizza is the same as the Neapolitan one although I ordered takeout I was able to realize that they have home made pasta ufff, fusilli and rigatoni is my favorite I have to try it!

Great quality pizza. This place was somewhat of a hidden gem for the Franklin Square neighborhood until YouTube. I'm glad we saw the place on Dave Portnoy's youtube review. The place is ultra fast to order a pie. Maybe slightly on the high side of cost for a pie. Just order a large plain pizza and that's the boxed shaped one that Dave was reviewing. It's worth atleast one order with the family and then everyone can try to be a food critical at home. Atleast...

Friendly staff. Meatballs were amazing. Loved the fresh pasta. Ordered the rigatoni carbone and also the lobster special. Wish more places served pasta that way. Will be back to try the pizza for sure.
