    So little history this used to be a coffee spot owned by women! The inside changed a little bit, but not too much. Roselia was our server for the day. She was super nice and explained there was a pizza special for $11. I found it amazing that it was for any slice. The elote pizza was very different in a good way. The marg pizza was just made fresh. It wasn't a bad slice at all. I saw some slices had seeds on them too bad I would have loved to try the slices. The inside is so cute. I love how you can see the park from the windows. Its such a quiet little chill spot. If you get the pizza to go you can walk a few blocks to the river for some special views. But the views inside traze are vibing. I loved the artwork that they have around the shop. Very clean and their bathroom soap smells amazing!!!!

    Service is great! Food is even better - Their vodka flambé was a creamier version of a vodka style sauce, it had a couple peas on it which really made it feel like a pasta sauce - their falafel pizza with the hot honey drizzle was unbelievable. I was skeptical ordering it but w o w! It was perfectly balanced with the sesame crust and white sauce base and falafel pieces - pesto: pretty good but I ate this last in my trio and the falafel was so dang good that this didn't live up as high. Still good though , the brown butter added a lot of depth Prices are pretty expensive for a relatively personal size pizza (3 pies + sauce sauces was around $75ish). But it's worth a go because of the unique flavors.

    Solid pizza place with interesting toppings, crusts, and flavors!! I stumbled upon this place while in the area and enjoyed my quick lunch! The French onion fungi radiated the sweet and savoriness of the caramelized onion. The mushrooms kinda take a back seat on this one but it didn't matter cause the onions were delicious. The roasted basil leaves had a hint of herbacious-ness to the mixture. I appreciated the chewy but crunchy crust with a sesame forward flavor! The truffle ricotta slice featured a focaccia-type fluffy bread and really let the truffle and ricotta do the talking. Truffle flavors were prominent and tasty. The ricotta was smooth. I liked how it otherwise wasnt too cheesy or creamy so the focus on was the ricotta. I usually like more mushrooms but I think this ratio was appropriate and balanced. I just wish they had some black pepper to complement both slices. Staff were patient and polite in explaining their pizza toppings. They only have a handful of indoor seats but do have some tables outdoor. Interested in coming back to try their falafel pizza and their pesto when its back in season!

    Long Island City vibes and a solid artisinal pizza spot go hand-in-hand. Who knew that Traze would fill a void long missing in the neighborhood. The space formerly occupied by LIC Corner Cafe is now Traze Pizza - while it may not be the baked goods that Annie used to make... the pizza makes up for it in all the best ways. Oh, and they have coffee and espresso, too, with oat milk from Califia Farms. I had the opportunity to try the Felix Special, one of their combo slices on a sesame seed crust topped with pepperoni and red onion. As Traze specializes in Grandma slices, this square cut slice comes in at $6 and was flavorful from edge-to-edge. I really enjoyed the tasty balance of rich pepperoni with the crunchiness of the red onion, and the addition of the sesame crust providing some extra character not typically found on most pizzas, yet it was well balanced. The staff behind the counter was helpful and friendly, and I hope to come back and try other slices soon,... and their coffees, too.

    TRAZE - The home of the "Spicy Falafel Square Pie"! It's official! After many years of pop ups Traze has an official spot and we could not be happier. It's right of the G Train Court Square stop. You can smell the pizza before you see it. Nothing beats the smell of fresh pizza! There's a standing counter area by the window, for those looking for a quick bite. A couple small tables further in. The restaurant is warm and inviting. The staff is helpful and sweet! This place will be open early so you can snag a grandpa pie with some coffee to start your day. We came and enjoyed the "French Onion Fungi". I'm obsessed with caramelized onions and mushroom so this is a perfect pie for me. You can never go wrong with the classic Margherita. And Natalie (the mastermind, behind Traze) turned me on to the spicy honey on the falafel pie. My boyfriend and I can not get enough. Even "Felix" (Happybull Pizza) got a pie named after him. Natalie knows seasonal too, so I'm excited what other flavors will be in store for us. Can't wait to come back and try them all! A very well deserved congratulations to Natalie and her team at Traze!

    I'm a sentimental sap when it comes to Traze. I was a fan during their nomadic pop-up era and today I got to check out their new brick-and-mortar establishment near Court Square in LIC. While they seem to have extended their range of offerings (breakfast slices! coffee and tea!), I had something more savory in mind. The pizza menu is straightforward: pies are 10" squares, and you can either add toppings or go for one of the signature "combos." I took the latter route and ordered the "Felix Special" ($23), a margherita grandma topped with pepperoni and red onion with a sesame seed crust. My companion and I chose to dine in, cozying up at a table in the back. The seating is fairly limited, though they have a standing counter, and there's a nice park across the street. People living nearby might just take their pie home; options abound. After about ten minutes, the pizza arrived at our table. Visually impressive, Traze is almost too beautiful to eat. Picking up a slice, I was impressed with how the crispy crust held up. From the first bite, I was in my happy place: bright and vibrant sauce dancing around stretchy fresh mozz, sweet and snappy onions melding with the mild pepperoni cups. The sesame seed crust augmented and elevated the flavor profile, and altogether created a succulent and sumptuous mouthfeel that I wished would never end. The price is about right for craft pizza of this quality, and remember, the quality is what you're after here. If you just want big Neapolitan pies, perhaps seek another purveyor. I'd say this is more akin vibe-wise to Ace's, though definitely lighter; less guilty, all pleasure. Definitely recommend for an enlightened experience. If you're going to MoMA PS1 or The Gutter or any of the other fine cultural destinations in the area, keep this place in mind if you happen to get peckish.

    Pizza is pricey but amazing. Sausage slice was fantastic, but the star of the show is the Natty Dee's Falafel slice. A delicious and really unique slice! Will be back for more.

    I've never eaten here in person, but I've taken plenty to go. My parents love NY style pizza (they…read morelive in the South), and this is the place they always want me to order it from. They're great, and the service is phenomenal. I wanted to comment about their catering, because they shined here. I had my kid's birthday party over at Dream City and needed to order pizza. We also had a guest who was lactose-intolerant, and another who was gluten-free. My son also has an egg allergy, so when I called to confirm that there was no egg in their pizza dough, they confirmed that it was correct. Some old school NY pizza joints don't appreciate this question, but the owner here was kind and understood exactly why I would want to ask this question. They also made sure that my guest who was lactose-intolerant wouldn't have a pasta dish made with any butter or milk. They delivered the 8 pies, gluten free personal pizza, and pasta for my lactose-intolerant guest right on time. I had placed the order a few days before, so I was worried about them being on time, but that wasn't an issue at all. Everyone raved about the pies, and our guests with the food intolerances were happy with their food, too. The delivery driver was pleasant and made sure things went where they needed to. If you need a good pizza caterer in the area, look no further than Lillian's.

    Friendly service. This time I tried the grandma Sicilian slice. They don't have lasagna any more.read more

I'm also surprised I've never noticed this restaurant before, considering I've probably driven past it countless times. The restaurant itself felt clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Our server, who I believe was also the owner, was incredibly friendly and attentive without ever being overbearing or making us feel like we were being hovered over. The whole meal had a relaxed, comfortable feel to it. Overall, the food was very solid. We started with the Polpo, grilled octopus with hummus and grilled vegetables, which was extremely tasty. I initially thought hummus might be an odd pairing with octopus, but it worked surprisingly well. I wished there was more hummus. The Radici salad was also excellent. The Tortelloni Verde, spinach tortelloni was fresh and light, maybe a little too light and healthy for my personal taste! I probably would have preferred a richer sauce or a little more cheese, but that's really just personal preference rather than a complaint about the dish. We also ordered the Pasta Al Frutti di Mare. The sauce tasted fresh and flavorful, and the seafood was cooked very well. Unfortunately, the mussels were the one exception, as they didn't taste fresh. We finished everything else on the plate but left the mussels. When the owner asked about our meal and we mentioned it, he seemed genuinely surprised and concerned. My feeling is that this was probably more of a purveyor issue than something the restaurant did wrong, but unfortunately, it was the one thing that kept the meal from being five stars for me. We finished with tiramisu and two cappuccinos, and both were well made and delicious, the perfect way to end the meal. Despite the issue with the mussels, we really enjoyed our lunch. Between the food, comfortable atmosphere, and genuinely warm service, this is definitely a restaurant I'll be returning to.

I felt slightly intimidated from the look of the place on the outside because it would seem like a middle class to upper class Restaurant but inside, it does look very nice but the setting is very much casual for its basically an upscale Pizzeria. However I didn't have pizza in mind, I went for something bigger and that would be the Chicken Parmigiana along with Root Beer which tallied up to $32 so not too bad. I contemplated about getting Dessert but I ultimately forgone it, which was a good decision in the long run because the chicken parm order was surprisingly hefty. I've gotten used to smaller portions being served in restaurants nowadays and I was expecting I'm gonna be hungry later eventually, but I sure was proven wrong. That meal filled me up proper, a little too proper because I felt absolutely stuffed after eating it all. I'm not one to complain about a good problem. Sure I felt uncomfortable, bloated and sluggish after eating that meal but I will take that any day in the week over feeling unsatisfied and unfulfilled because if you're gonna spend $30+ on a meal, you SHOULD get your money's worth and that was a meal I could very well split with two and felt very fine with that. So props to PC for a gut busting meal, for the price I paid for lunch, I should feel like I'm going to spontaneously combust, better that than still feeling empty.

But this time I came as a much larger party and won't be back, at least not with a large party. Overall the food at this dinner was pretty good and waitress and servers were great. But, I was however extremely disappointed that I had a reservation and had to wait outside with my party (2 were seniors) for 25 minutes bc our table wasn't ready. My sister and parents got there 15 minutes early. The hostess told my sister when she got there it would be 10-15 minutes bc they were "getting our table ready". Understandable, my sister did arrive early. Fine. After about 15 minutes or longer, bc it was already passed our reservation time, I go in and ask the hostess about the table, who rather pointedly was like ummm, I already told another person in your party that we are getting your table ready. I was like oh ok. And she then says it will probably be another 10-15 minutes bc we are still setting up the table. I thought to myself, it takes 20- 30 minutes to set up a table and we aren't in a private room or anything? Mind you she wasn't apologetic at all and a little curt. But after this exchange it just dampened the mood for me. At the next 15 minute mark I asked (3rd time) and a different male host finally tells us it was bc there was another large table who was sitting for a really long time (his words) and wasn't getting up although they paid 20 minutes ago AND he couldn't tell us when the table would be ready. I'm thinking, so you can't politely tell the table that they had another reservation that's been waiting even after they already paid 20 minutes ago? Fine, whatever, but you know how many restaurants I've been to where they have done that to my party when another reservation arrived? We finally get to our table after waiting a little while longer and it was extremely cramped, uncomfortable and we were all squished in. I was so embarrassed that I picked this restaurant with my parents (bc they can be picky) and family for such a special occasion and overall it was so underwhelming, everyone in my party was a little annoyed bc of either the waiting, the exchange, and/or the tight/cramped table. Honestly, the attitude/tone I felt this evening, which I'm sure was unintentional (or at least I hope) was that they just didn't give a sh*t about us (again aside from our waitress and servers). How sad for our party I guess. Would I come back though? Maybe, but I've had varying experiences here over the last 10+ years and not always consistent. I'd give other restaurants in the neighborhood (and there are plenty) a shot first before dining here again. I live in the neighborhood and enjoy their food and most of the service most of the time but I would never come with a large party for a special evening after tonight.

The crust was great all around with a slight oven char. Lastly the calzone took me by surprise as it had no sauce and was filled with ricotta cheese as opposed to mozzarella. It came with a small cup of hot marinara sauce for dipping/pouring. It was definitely an interesting calzone but don't think it was worth the price. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and Nick's and would highly recommend it. I do wish the pricing was a bit more fair when it came to full vs half pie toppings as well as the calzone.
