| - I don't understand how a place this good and authentic and iconic doesn't take reservations, but they don't. I'm flabbergasted, but no matter what do, they will not reserve a table for you.
So you go early and line up outside and wait till a table frees up. Come in spring, summer or fall, I can't imagine waiting outside for a table in the cold, but I'm sure many have.
Once you're seated it's entirely possible they'll re-assign your table to someone else if you decide to go to the washroom before your meal! This happened to me, but the waiters did correct the error and seated the people who had been seated at my table elsewhere.
The menu is a swirling vortex of chaos. There's something like 80 types of pizza. And they also do pasta, though I never got around to that end of the menu. I'm overwhelmed by that vastness of choice. I prefer places that have like eight things on the menu. I feel like there's less chances I'll order the wrong thing.
Anyway the wood oven pizza is great, not too salty. Note that the big Parmesan cheese shaker on the table is in fact full of sugar. I managed to get quite a bit on to my pizza before realizing the errors of my ways.
Their desserts are nothing special though, I'd go to a bona-fide dessert place afterwards if you're gonna do the dessert thing.
All in all a good experience, might try the pasta next time.
