Thin, foldable crust stretched by hand, sauce made in-house, and cheese pulled to the edge. It's the pie that started it all, and we still make it the same way.

The food is really great here. Great place to pop in for quick slice. The house made sausage is really good!

Love their New York style pizza! Has been a favorite of my husband since he was a child and is now part of our tradition when we take our summer visit to Evanston! So good!

We went for a group event and ordered 3 extra large pizzas. Pizza was NY style; piping hot and foldable. The sauce was good, the crust was chewy but not tough. The place is super casual and serves pizza by the slice.
