Very good pizza with good and friendly service. Great place

So beautiful inside! Feels like Vegas in there! Loved the live music and the artistic pieces inside! Hidden gem if you don’t live in NYC! Deff recommend!

Wonderful place. Staff was so professional and welcoming. This is a direct reflection of of Greg the operator.m who makes it a point to visit every table. It was crowded when we got there but worth the wait.

My best friend and I stopped here for a very needed girls night after a longgggg work day and it was such a vibe! The atmosphere was perfect—great energy, music that set the mood, and a trendy yet chill setting. We tried a little bit of everything since we read the reviews and settled for the jerk chicken, tacos and wings, and the curry goat. Every dish was REALLLLLLY GOOD. The jerk chicken had a lot of flavor and wasn’t too spicy which we liked, the tacos and wings wad a good starter, the curry goat was tender and delicious. The drinks were trendy and tasty—definitely a highlight of the night. Whether you’re out with your bestie or just want good food and drinks, this spot won’t disappoint. We’ll absolutely be back.
