FOOD: I've had the pizza here and the chicken parm. Both are reasonably underwhelming. The chicken parm is the better of the two, however. Their slices are extremely dry, and the ingredients are quite lackluster as a New York Pizza. This is the kind of "New York Pizza" you'd expect to get somewhere in the midwest, falling somewhere below Sbarro's on the flavor spectrum. The slices are large, but at $2.75 each, the pricing represents them knowing they're one of the only places to eat underneath the last stop of the #4 train moreso than anything else. Additionally, they keep pizza around all day, so if you happen to be the first customer in a while, don't expect a fresh slice. The chicken parm is OK, at least the bread is not as dry as their pizza, but their sauce is sour and lacks kick. Chicken is OK, but again, way too pricey. Another issue is sanitation...there always seems to be a cat running around behind the counter and climbing on it sometimes, but not in a cute NYC bodega way, rather in a "I'd better check my slice for fur" kind of way. Plus the place overall is very dirty/dingy looking. Another issue is the drink selection. They only carry a handful of drink varieties (Pepsi, Sprite, etc.) - no Dr. Pepper, no Root Beer, no real variety. 1/5
SERVICE: Service is OK. They primarily speak Spanish, but all are fluent in English. Ask and you shall receive. If you want one of the specialty items (like chicken parm) it will take longer though, which should be expected. It does get points here for being open 24 hours though. 3/5
AMBIENCE: Again, very dingy. It's not very clean in there, and with the cat running around, it's a bit weird at times. If you get one of the tables near the front and it's crowded, expect to have people standing right on top of you while you eat, and there's not a lot of seating, so if it's crowded you may have to share a table with a stranger. 1/5
PRICE/VALUE: As mentioned, the prices are extremely high for the quality of the product. $2.75 should get you a bona fide large slice of NY Style Pizza, but instead it gets you this dry, crusty, sometimes stale (depending on when you go) slice with a smattering of underwhelming tomato sauce and decent cheese on it. If you take the pizza out and order 2 slices, they fold both awkwardly into a bag in a way I've never seen an NY pizza place do before, rather than overlapping the slices on 2 plates to keep them flat and preserve the pizza. Thus when you open it, it's bent already. 0/5
SUMMARY: I would really not recommend this place unless you are starving and have no other choice. Otherwise you're better off waiting. 1/5 read more
