I had gone here about a year ago for takeout and it was mediocre. Crust was a bit odd, and the pepperonis were oddly large and too spicy.

We went again for a friend’s birthday very recently and I was shocked – it was delicious. Especially the cheese pie, good thin crust, good cheese, just good all around. So yeah, it’s much better when you eat there instead of takeout, or maybe the first time was a bad night.

In any case, it’s now among my top NY pizza places in the Bay Area, along with Slice of NY and Giovanni’s. Good stuff.
