You wouldn’t expect this type of quality pizza if you were driving by or even walking inside but wow I was impressed. I didn’t know the history of it as I’m new to the area but it looks like a long family history inside from the pictures to the door itself . Keep it up great pizza!

Best veal cutlet sub or dinner in the area. It is "real" veal cutlet hand breaded and fried. Almost all sub shops cook frozen pre-breaded hockey pucks which are actually pork, not veal. The sauce is very flavorful. You will not find a better veal cutlet anywhere around here. This is not a comfortable place to eat, but i eat it there just because it tastes so much better than taking it home. It is very small with only a few small tables and Very dated.
