Despite its many accolades, some diners find the prices, especially for delivery, slightly high compared to other local pizzerias—around $26 for a cheese pie delivered. While most reviews appreciate the ATM availability, the cash-only policy can be inconvenient, particularly for those who prefer card transactions.
Weekend peak hours can lead to longer wait times, and the busy atmosphere may detract from a peaceful meal experience. Parking can be tricky during these times, given the establishment's popularity.

They have the BEST pizza. A regular cheese pie is now $24 if you are at the restaurant. If you have it delivered, it will be $26. It may seem pricey, but I've paid more at other places. This pizza is scrumptious!!😋 😋 😋 😋 😋

I love this place, I always stop by when I am in Brooklyn. Their penne Al Vodka and chicken bacon ranch pizzas are great. You should know this place only takes cash but there is an atm inside.

Today was brick like Alaska , so I rescinded to order a pie , since I had cash n recalled they still did cash delivery . Boy first off th e pie was 23 bucs for just cheese, so if imma jump out the window for a pricey pie might as well get pepperoni. The total came to 28 buc . Ok I still had to muster up a tip for delivery guy . Boom the dude over the phone said 45 minutes , boom 45 minutes later the delivery guy is outside my house . Pizza is worth every penny, the crust was crunchy , the sauce was that authentic New York style tomatoe taste n lets me not forget the oil from the cheese . Classics New York style pizza : The Brooklyn way ! . Totally a rare gem to find now a days

Great tasty pizza, the crust was perfect, the cheese was delicious and the sauce was perfect. Also had garlic knots which were very tasty along with excellent tomato sauce to dip. The Pizzeria is very large and spacious. Good eating!!!
