I really wish I would have consulted Yelp before visiting this place. My boyfriend and I wanted to try something "different". Well, that is what we got. I'll start off by saying that my boyfriend really liked it. This is a guy who will eat the $1 Tostinos pizza so his opinion doesn't count :-)
When we got there around 4:45 there was only one guy up front and it was starting to get backed up. We really didn't have to wait that long for the service or our pizza but it just seemed chaotic. I decided to try their Hefeweizen and found it to be pretty good!
I guess I'm not a NY style pizza person. I didn't realize that they like their pizza flavorless and full of grease out there. I think this is my first experience with this style but as many times as I've eaten pizza I think I'm probably wrong. I'm not an extremely picky pizza eater (I love Round Table) but this was horrible! As soon as they sat it down on our table I knew I wasn't going to like it. It wasn't even visually pleasing.
We ordered Da Bronx Bomber with no peppers. I found the meat very tasteless and unappealing. The pizza was saturated in grease. I don't mind grease on my pizza but I don't want to drink it! I'm kinda getting heart burn right now just thinking about it.
The entire time we were there they didn't pick up any of the dirty tables and the staff had about as much personality as the pizza-NONE!
Anytime we are craving pizza and in this area...I'm going to my old faithful ROMA'S!! They know how to do good pizza.
The stars are for the beer which was actually 4 star beer.

I just finished my overpriced lunch from here and I know that if I'm paying for it now...I'll be paying for it even more later. I tried this place shortly after it first opened and had an excellent meal. I tried it again a few months later and thought it was pretty forgettable. Today I was in the mood for something a little different so I tried it again and learned my lesson...I guess 3 times is a charm or in this case...NOT. I ordered the Garlic Chicken Pita. It's very garlicky which is usually good because I LOVE GARLIC. It was just a big mess though and was missing something. Maybe more greens? I don't know but it just wasn't that great. The pita bread was nice and soft but the chicken was just ok. I also wanted to try the Spanikopita (sp?) because I thought that is what I had liked in the past. Ughhh....WRONG! It was not a pillowy layer of spinach, cheese and phyllo. It was an overcooked greasy mess that will be giving me nightmares for days to come. Sorry OPA OPA but while you are extremely convenient for me to go to at lunch. I'll take my $12 somewhere else.
On a positive note...my Mr. Pibb was excellent, the service was friendly and the wait wasn't that long.
