In Short – This hole-in-the-wall shop, decorated with pictures of old NYC pizzerias, is a popular destination for both college kids and lunchtime work crowds. The West Coast-style organic-flour crust is rolled ultra thin and slightly charred on the sides and bottom. The mozzarella cheese barely covers the bubbling hot paste made from ripe plum tomatoes. The toppings range from Brooklyn basics, like pepperoni, to exotic Cali cuisine like the arugula, pesto and prosciutto pie.

Great pizza but...

by chickenbone at Citysearch

The pizza here is very tasty. However, I feel like the place is a bit "pizza nazi"-ish. They only have a few selections and you aren't allowed to substitute or do a half/half pizza. They give you a time slot to pick up your pizza, take it or leave. When I was in the store, some walk ins were told that the limited slices at the counter were all they had and that was it. (it was only 6:30) I asked if they had any take out menus and was given a flat "no". (I was going to give them to my friends because the pizza is good but I guess that won't happen now.) Also, the pizza is a bit pricey. I think they need to balance the need to run their business their way with good customer service and building the customer base.
