I came to this place one night because it is near where I live and I wanted a quick bite.

Starting with the positives: The atmosphere in this place (Although very small) is cool! They have a very hip retro style decor which makes for a cool place to grab a drink with friends before or after going out. The two lady’s that were making the food were also sweet and got my food made in a respectable amount of time. Definitely a good face for the business in terms of service.

Now for the negatives: The food was awful. Possibly some of the worst I have had in a while. I got the garlic knots and chicken wings. The garlic knots were soggy and tasted like nail polish. I took one bite, gagged, and threw them away. The chicken wings were slightly overcooked and also weirdly soggy despite the meat being tough to get off the bone. Again, I took a bite and threw them away.

I don’t mind the food being so bad if it was not so incredibly expensive. Some garlic knots and 8 wings cost me well over $20 which should be criminal given the less than suboptimal quality. I will never go back and i’m sad this place is one of the limited options nearby in terms of cuisine. Maybe I’ll check out the bar sometime in the future.

I am writing this review to single out one person. Danielle made the experience. She was extremely personable to all the patrons, and made everyone's experience way more fun and lively than expected. Everyone else was good, but she made it special. I would definitely go back.

The beat clarendon has to offer.

Been coming here since it was Bronx Pizza. Always does the job! Last time I came was on Saturday (6/15/24) and still same pizza quality, ordered a sandwich (panini like) as well, which is new. Have not had an opportunity to try the bar yet. Workers here, despite of ownership change have always been very kind!

Cool place and great location. They also have food.

My wife asked if we could stop by this place and we both liked the vibe. Unfortunately the pizza was less than superb. If you get something right out of the oven, the crust has a good crunch. Toppings were used sparingly, the sauce needed more seasoning, and the cheese was bland. Also, we went specifically for the popcorn cocktail for reasons. They didn't have 2 of the ingredients to make that cocktail. It's an ok place to enjoy the summer weather and eat outside I suppose.

had to update AGAIN - i just emailed whoever your contact is on your page because the quite literally did not happen! can’t wait to see the footage though. ??

*had to repost this as they deleted my previous post.

the pizza was decent but jesus your security guard takes his job way too seriously
my boyfriend
dropped my drink by being careless and the dude kicked us out and followed us out to take a picture of his face to say he was never allowed back... and i literally said it was an accident (as my drink was more than halfway full) and he was like NO it wasnt.
à not
worth the hassle with the mediocre security who probably makes minimum wage.

again- we had to WARN the girls next to us as they had roaches crawling up and down the side of their table while they were eating.

The employees were friendly but the measly pizza slice I got didn’t look anything like it did in the review pictures, and was lacking in flavor as well. Shocked that it was $5 when you can get a true jumbo slice in NY for less than $2 (picture is from NY, not here for comparison)

Small pizza shop located right across from the Clarendon metro. I went for lunch and was the only customer during my entire visit. The pizza was decent but not really what I would consider to be New York style and for the price I expected better quality. They have some unique toppings but I don't think they are that memorable. I'm pretty sure this place caters to the late night drink crowd but as a general pizza shop there are plenty of better options close by.
