I just wanted to say, Luis is an amazing manager. I had a huge issue with an ordered placed on DoorDash and he helped me greatly. He was very professional and got the job done. I 100% understand when the weather gets crazy, so does everything else but Luis made sure everything worked out. Thank you for your professionalism! Also the food here is great and very tasty. Definitely recommend

This location has very good food. I've had their zeppoles which I can't seem to find anywhere else so I am very grateful for that. I've also recently had their Chicken Francesa and omg it was so good. The food was delivered hot and fast and it was well worth the money. I will definitely be ordering it again and trying other things on the menu. The garlic knots are also very good. They aren't too greasy and have the perfect amount of garlic for me.

Absolutely amazing! The place just give you that feeling unique about the Bronx. I love the culture they inject into this place., I think they hit the nail the Mexican food and OG New York Pizza combo is beautiful and staff are super friendly and the food is delicious. I love that you get a lot of food as well for the price. It’s definitely not like other expensive restaurants. I am definitely going back.

First time visiting here and would definitely go back. The good was good and the staff was very friendly. They many different menu options to choose from. I got the white slice and a pepperoni roll. Crust was a little too thin for my liking but it tasted fresh. Would visit again when I'm in the area. Enjoy!

Tried them through TooGoodToGo. Bad choices to help new customers become regulars. Did not taste great and all cold pizza. *Did not know the policy is that the food has to be cold. Nor did I know it was all pizza since there are other items on the menu. Specifically the buffalo chicken can be too much for some... and it was. Updating to 3 stars because it's not all their fault.
