Tasty pizza but inconsistent sizes. It’s about $5 per slice and they ask for a tip. (Wish companies would just pay workers enough and not guilt customers, induce anxiety, and ultimately decrease their business perpetuating the cycle).

Pizza is mostly very good. Serve per slice. It’s very fast service and employees are kind. Only one mix up once that was not great. Waited more than half hour for whole pizza order with my son on a cold winter day and they totally forgot, we left and recovered money . Recently though, totally reverse, I ended up with 4 slices when I ordered two. Left a big tip the last time. Good food.

Ah.may.zing. I love this place so much. Their pizza is always delicious, a whole pie won’t kill your pocket book, and the slices are big. Not to mention original flavors. I just wish it were closer to home. I love this Brooklyn style pizza.
