Oh, I used to live upstairs in the building next door and lived on their pizza for over two years (two cheese slices, cold- so I could heat 'em upstairs).  The owners are nice (they were my landlords as well).  

The pizza is good- not crazy gourmet or anything, but good stuff, and as I write this from far away, I wish I could run downstairs for a slice or two...  It's also clean, and busy- so you get a nice fresh slice...

The pizza is solid, but there's one other thing that must be mentioned here:

This place has stellar zeppoles.  Picture it: you're walking home from a long day at work, hopefully making the world a better place but more than likely just perpetuating the conversion of paid jobs to internships for overqualified grad students.  Anyway, your fatigued eyeballs catch the red, white and green V&M Pizza Town sign.  You cross the street, walk in, and there, sitting behind the filmy plate glass display are puffy, pastrified, deep-fried Zeppoles.  Just looking at them raises your blood pressure by 50 points, or grams, or PSI, or whatever blood pressure is measured in.  You ask the guy behind the counter for a dozen in a bag.  Tell him to pour on the powdered sugar.  You tell him to shake the bag well.   You're drooling by this time, work long forgotten.  You grab the bag, the contents of which is now fried dough, grease, and enough powdered sugar to film Scarface 2.  Retrieving one of these sugary goodnesses, you pop the whole thing into your mouth and as your pleasure centers explode and your body prepares a last ditch defense against the cholesteral immediately building up in your arteries, you sink against the wall in stupified contentment.

The other 11 are for later.  You can eat them at 4am when you get back from whatever distraction you've planned for yourself tonight.  Guaranteed hangover cure.  If by "cure" you're looking for something that delivers brain anesthesia by zeppole overload.

Solid little local pizza place. I always get a smile with my slice, and after a long work day, it's sometimes all I need.

The Sophia Lauren pizza is their specialty and I tend to stick with it. It's a square (Sicily style) with fresh mozzarella, tomato, and fresh basil.

Garlic knots and zeppoli are also generally solid.

Tip: 2-liters are cheaper than at most places, so if you are there with a friend or two, it's usually better to get a 2-liter than cans of soda.
