Customer Reviews
Very good pizza. They use a generous amount of cheese. The crust is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Thick enough to support the toppings. Flavorful sauce and fast service. Staff are friendly and efficient. Would absolutely eat here again.
Pizza was fine, kid working there seemed to be comfortable, but also seemed like he could use some more guidance from management. Wouldn't hurt to train him more in managing things. I know ur new so if you need help with customer requests like how to make a tuna melt (someone called while we were there, and it was dead quiet so the few customers heard the whole conversation) lmk you'll find me "swimming in the 5t" ;)
Absolutely Disgusted Serious Health Concerns I don't usually leave reviews, but this experience was so appalling that I feel obligated to warn others. I went to this location to pick up two pies for a family party. My kids were so excited for pizza night it was supposed to be a fun, easy dinner. Instead, we got something straight out of a nightmare. First, when we opened the boxes at home, we were shocked to find that both pizzas were completely burnt on the bottom and not just overcooked, but blackened like they'd been sitting in a fire pit. The crust crumbled like ash when we touched it. Totally inedible. It was obvious no one had even checked the quality before boxing them up. That was bad enough, but unfortunately, it got worse. While I was waiting for the order, I witnessed something
Food was under cooked Many of the dishes are very doughy, not cooked long enough. Also, my food was touched with bare hands several times after leaving the oven when I brought it to the service attention, he responded by saying do you want the food or not very unsanitary
I really don't want to give a mixed review resulting in an overall bad experience. So this absolutely requires an explanation. The staff and service are top notch and what you should expect in a family friendly establishment. The staff's best efforts are let down by the food. My first sampling was a slice topped with ground beef. Among the worst I've ever encountered. The flavors weren't just bland they had a spoiled essence. I returned to let them know I couldn't put up a bad review for a new business. The explanation was this is a kosher, the meat is fake. I've lived in West Hempstead for 25 years, there's a kosher pizza establishment 6 or 7 blocks down the road which is fantastic. The staff again fantastic insisting I try something different. I selected a veggie pizza with si
