| - The restaurant is a bit divey with a definite slant for the take-out customer. Hard core, old-school Sicilians are behind the counter, so when you approach to order, frankly, you're thinking you're in for some kick-ass pizza.
Meh...
The meatballs were raquet ball sized but unfortunately, that was their best quality. They had that, I've been in the food processor too long and then sat in the fridge overnight for a few nights before being thrown into a pot of sauce before serving feel to them. My boys ate them, but my 2 boys weigh a combined 50 pounds and eat close for 4000 calories a day. Each. So they'll eat a month old meatball they found on the playground and love it.
Our 'roni and mushroom pizza was thicker than a typical NY style pizza, but it was definitely still trying to be a NY style pizza. TONS of cheese on it, to the point where it was kinda gross. Greasy, but that's not a bad thing necessarily. The mushrooms were pretty black, indicating a lack of freshness. The crust was tasty I spose, but nothing to write home about, and frankly was a little too fluffy for me.
It wasn't authentic. It didn't meet expectations. And frankly, while we sat in the restaurant, nobody cared that we were there, so the service was non-existant.
For me, this is a niche place you're either all-in on, or for the rest of us, can simply pass up without missing a beat.
