The best pizza in town...maybe even the state. Thin-crust, brick-oven, New Haven-style "pies" are amazing at either location. A couple tables at the second location, but usually take-out. Go to the website and take advantage of their coupon for a big discount Mon-Wed (no need to print...just tell them you have it when you call).
