| - Better than average pizza spot in Collinwood, right by the 185th street exit/entrance and right across from Rainbow Muffler (why we went!). A very unassuming, bare bones building lacking in even a modicum of charm -- think "Soviet Union, pre glasnost" -- staff is brusque. Parking is minimal. They have a drive through window, for some reason (but who orders pizza at a drive through, when it takes 40 minutes to make? I guess for pick ups only?).
My expectations were modest, but the pizza was very good to excellent, with superb crust and very good toppings. Generous cheese. Mild sauce. My only complaint was NO GREEN OLIVES. We adore green olives, not black.
Prices are a tad high, especially considering this is the super-low rent neighborhood....$12 for a plain large pizza (16" generous sized) with no toppings. Toppings are $2.00 each, so that adds up fast. A specialty pizza (like buffalo chicken, hawaiian, supreme) is $21. Also they are super slow. I called in my order, and it took close to 40 minutes, but I will say when I got it -- it was STEAMING hot, right out of the oven, literally CLOUDS of steam coming out of the box!
Recommended and we will definitely go back, even though it was out of our normal neighborhood.
