It is a rare event when people try to provide an authentic experience however this family owned and operated business goes for that achievement with their traditional New York theme. The flavors and food are consistently patterned after their history growing up in New York. Most people love the flavors and food elements offered here however if you aren't a fan of this style pizza it's not the pizzas bad it's that you are from Chicago! The crust here is perfect thin crispy holds up the toppings and the pie is not greasy. I consider this real pizza the kind of thing you enjoy with the right beer and a group of friends you like. It's not fancy but it's quality and this many people that say it's so right just can't be wrong. Don't cheat yourself out of a pleasant eating experience by being a deep disher fan. They also have some great sandwiches and appetizers to complete the dining experience so keep and open mind and an open mouth when you go.
