What customers say?

“ I'm from NYC and would say their slices (reheated) are among the best I've had. Most eat them while hot though or reheat when you get home. Counter service only and no seating. ”

“ was spending the night in Gainsville for the Gatornationals and wanted a late night pizza. They have a 20 inch cheese pie that is huge and at avery affordable price.The crew there was nice to interact with and courteous. I recommend if you have a few mouths to feed.Pizza is not bad. ”

- Bob Janzen -

“ Best pizza in town! My dad used to take me here and now I get to take my kids. I love that they have pizza by the slice at a great price (HUGE pieces!), or you can buy a whole pie. The staff is friendly and efficient, parking can be tough since it is right on University, but it is well worth it! ”

- Laura Geisler -

“ ALWAYS a consistent, PERFECT NYC slice that is NEVER NEVER NEVER shloppy. (iykyk) I ALWAYS come here when I have to head over to Gville. I have been begging them to come to Jacksonville Beach for YEARS, please help me bug them. The ONLY good NYC pizza in the whole entire area. Great job as always, guys! ”

- Amy Rose -

“ This small little takeout spot has become one of my favorites in midtown and Gainesville as a whole. The slices are absolutely delicious and cater to both sober and non-sober people. Service is quick, professional and quality. If you're a UF student or coming to watch a Gators athletics game, this spot is a must-try when it's open. Love it! ”

“ I liked the idea of buying a slice rather than a whole pizza. ”
