I’ve been coming here for decades. I’m sitting here now as I write this review watching every single person who walks in the door be greeted by their first name. This is the place for fantastic food and genuine hospitality. They don’t make places like this anymore.
If I could give 6 stars I would.
I recommend the personal pizzas,
best I’ve ever had.

Came here on a work trip, and was impressed. May be a small Pizza shop, but the slices were good, the service was nice and pleasant, and the pizza came out quick. Would definitely come back.

We ALWAYS ate here as kids to grown ups. Our friend Vinny’s father owns the place was the BEST pizza on Long Island, however the last three times we’ve bought a pie from them not only have the prices increased TWICE in one year with the second being ridiculous, but they’re making the pizza extremely thin! Not cool! The service is usually okay except the chubby short guy who works the register in person and on the phone always has an attitude! Sadly we won’t be eating there or ordering pies anymore not because of the price increase, but for the simple fact that you raise prices on your customers yet thin the pizza out! Such a disappointment.

I always used to love this place as a kid but the way I was treated in this establishment made me very upset and sad these couldn’t be the same gentlemen that greeted me with a smile every time I came in with my mother and sister 12+ years ago. Not the same ones that would go to our table and serve our food. This couldn’t be the same food we would eat here when I was younger. This couldn’t be the restaurant that used to be clean every time I stepped in. When I came to this establishment with my wife I was telling her all these stories about how I used to love this place as a kid and was very excited because she’s from the city and I told her this is the best New York slice in valley stream and she’ll feel right at home here. but when we got there, the restaurant was filthy and the employee who has worked there since I was a kid was very rude. He looked bothered by our presence and in the middle of me taking my order a regular walked in and he cut me off to have a conversation with her and took her order before me and I couldn’t believe it especially if there’s another lady present that’s not how a true gentleman runs his establishment. I had a chicken bacon ranch slice and hey I understand it’s chicken bacon ranch but the slice was drowned in ranch. I probably will never come back here again and rather hold on to the memories I have as a kid then have more experiences similar to my recent one. I do believe this is a race issue looking at other reviews and see how people that are minorities getting treated the same way. Everyone’s cash is green and we should all be treated equally. Very disappointed.
