Customer Reviews
I typically love the pizza from here and I’m never disappointed but today I ordered an upside down Brooklyn style pie and it came entirely different than the first time I ordered it. Charged me the same amount but the pie came considerably smaller than the last time (9 vs 12) and the crust is extremely thin and not Sicilian. The pie also came cold and I only live 7 mins away at max. Super bummed out as this was my favorite local spot. First photo is the first time I ordered and was definitely comparable to the l&b spumoni pie’s (was delicious and each slice super filling) and second photo was today.
The pizza is so good. It's too bad they can not get the orders right, cannot deliver on time (or even within an hour of estimate), forget to even make your order and seriously just don't really care. Been a loyal customer for years despite the mix ups bc the pizza is so so good. After a break, gave another chance tonight and had to call to see where our pizza was after waiting two hours despite estimated delivery time of 1.5 hours. Shocker! Pizza not made. Time to say good bye for good. Update: of course the pizza was made incorrectly when placed online. Ridiculous.
Great pizza. We really like the grandma's pie, but we frequently get a standard pepperoni/mushroom and it's also good (and the mushroom is fresh, not canned). The one problem is wait times. Not usually a big deal since it's mostly just them being busy, but they're honestly incapable of getting delivery right. We've been ordering for years now and every few months we take another chance at delivery and it's never taken fewer than 2 hours. The time estimates are a joke and you should expect it to be at least 45 minutes longer than quoted. The pizza is usually cold by the time it gets to you, and the tip size doesn't seem to make a difference. As long as you pick up you'll be fine, though.
Consistently find a way to mess up orders that are placed HOURS in advance. Ordered at 11:54a, for a 7:15p delivery. Text at 6:30 delivery changed to 8:45! Call and the girl pick ups and immediately puts me on hold for 15 minutes. Finally tells me to come at 7:15p for pickup otherwise need to wait. Get there at 7:15, not even started to be cooked… if this happened once, maybe I could ignore it. Twice, maybe reconsider going here. This has happened 4x! I am never coming back.
I came here for 2 cheese slices and a bottle of lemonade. I haven't tried many pizzas in my life, but this is one of the best ones. I don't know much about prices here, but $3 a slice seems about right.
