PREMIUM, FRESH INGREDIENTS


WHY NEW YORK-STYLE PIZZA AND ITALIAN IS BETTER?
Premium, fresh ingredients, period. Our famous New York-style pizza features a thin and crispy crust that can be folded in half, making it easier to eat on the go. Our Giant 28-inch Party Pizza highlights the foldable nature of the crust and is seen by many as a defining characteristic and part of the New York pizza experience. We use the best ingredients to create classic Italian recipes from scratch, like Lasagna, Baked Ziti, Fettuccine Alfredo, Spaghetti & Meatballs, and more. We bring Little Italy to your neighborhood.
