Great spot, in the argument for the best pizza on the South Shore. The whole menu is great. Prices are
I came here on a Friday I was greeted properly then I was seated there was 2 kind bus boys one his name is youssef. The food was amazing I got a pizza it was the best I have ever had.
I am leaving a review because this establishment does not deserve these false 1 star reviews. I have been here 3 times and each time has been great and friendly service, and amazing food! The best thin slice vodka slice I’ve had on this island. They also made me a custom Sicilian with clams. Chicken Marsala (which isn’t shown) is the besttt! When Im lazy to food prep, I get one of their entrees and split it into 3-4 days and pair it with a salad.
Pizza is good but don’t show up expecting a deal. They promote a $13 large pizza Monday through Wednesday yet they still charged me $20 today (Monday) because it’s a holiday? Columbus Day? Makes no sense. Cmon management get it together.
Good pizza. Easy access from the train. The thin crust is perfect. The dining room is well appointed. The staff is nice. The service is fast. If you're a train geek then it's worth the trip.
