New York brick Pizza oven makes delicious Italian style food made from scratch with a red sauce that’s out of this world. Ownership is from Italy. We had a meatball sub and a Calzone. Truly had the best flavor we’ve tasted in a long , long time! More

Funny owner, great dough, excellent service. I highly recommend buying their dough and making your own pizza at home. Walk over to the food lion next door and get some fresh salami, fresh mozzarella and whatever else floats your boat. YUM!

Stopped in on our way home from the beach. Snapped a picture of my stromboli, which was raw. It's definitely dough, and you can see unmelted cheese in the photo as well. The onions and peppers were raw. All of the components were at least … More

This is the kind of neighborhood gem you’re lucky to have nearby. Family-owned by a true Italian, the food here is authentic and full of flavor. The sauce is outstanding — rich, fresh, and perfectly seasoned — and the pizza is the kind that … More

I’ve ordered here several times and they just cannot get it right ! I always request well done on the crust…. I cannot understand why they keep getting it wrong… what’s up with them slicing the pizza?? Nothing worse than soggy pizza that ends up tearing when you try and grab a slice! More
