The pizza is pretty decent, only been here a few times. Not my first choice for a pizza place but I wouldn't have a problem going here again.
Reading the review below me on how the food is always way too hot, I actually think I do remember that too. But even if the pizza is too hot, at least that means its fresh right? -

Not the worst place I've ever eaten, but down there.
This is a place you just go to because it's close to home and you don't give a crap.
Service is shit.
Pizza is shit.
Garlic knots are shit.
Just because you're Italian, and you open a pizza place, it doesn't mean the people will come. Stand out. Offer some great food, and some real service. The results will blow your mind. -

One should not burn their HANDS on their garlic knot. This I know to be true. Alitalia isn't burn-your-throat hot, this isn't even burn-the-middle-of-your-esophagus hot, this is singe-your-intestines hot. I'm not talking burn-your-mouth-because-you-bite-into-it-immediate ly, I mean scold-your-entire-oral-cavity-AFTER-patiently-watc hing-the-steaming-mass-cool-for-6-minutes-because- 15 minutes-is-apparently-the-quota-for-leaving-a-slic e-in. (Why didn't I intervene? Because regulars take unflailing precedence over newcomers, an extreme adaptation of a common trend.)
There was eventually nourishment involved, dished up by guys trying to sound Italian (to their credit they're legit Italian-American). My slice and a knot ran be $2.68, setting me back more than some nearby spots but offering a decent-sized knot to boot. There's a restroom in the joint, which is in good shape and well-maintained/clean, and does have some partial wait service for the glossy tables, set at the back of the trying-to-be-elegant-and-vast space with some partitioned tables. Tunes are piped in overhead while the (pretty substantially sized and apparently monopolizingly employed) family runs the counter and oven. (It (almost) goes without saying that family friends get the royal treatment here) I'd get shot by 95% of my relatives for saying this, but arfter a while all the slices and bagels I've consumed blend together. There's a battle between pretty good and pretty bad; it's not a continuum and standouts are rare, resulting in a binary, polarized mess. I realize this might be my being jaded, as I normally hate slices elsewhere in the country, but things within a 40-mile radius inevitably blur.
Why 2 stars? An average slice at an average price with a too-long-in-the-oven policy = 3-2. I support the father-and-kids family enterprise, high ceilings and ornate decor, and wait service, but stick to Anton's, or even Brothers 4 circa 1997.
PS There's a Wednesday $10.95 large pie takeout special.Listed in: Lemme get a slice
