Best pizza in fordhAm rd !!! Come try it out !
When I stopped by the Fordham Strip just to grab a quick bite, I never realized how huge the slices were, and this is just a regular cheese slice. I was full with just one slice, which cost around 4 dollars. Not bad for a slice that covers beyond the paper plate. I had to use both hands to hold the pizza slice. I told the guys that the slice tasted good. Right blend of cheese, tomato sauce, and perfectly soft and well oven-baked bread. I would come back. It is preferred to visit the pizzeria either in the morning or early afternoon. The times have a least chance of drama than in the evening or dark hours.
This place is excellent, they are making pizza and pies all day, everything is fresh, very quick and fast here, very polite staff, they have fountain drinks here, some water and soda. They make other Italian dishes, Uber Eats and GrubHub. Right next to the exit of the D train on Fordham road and the grand Concourse, across the street from a Chick Fil A, they have little counters to eat food with barely any seats but place is always welcoming and clean here.
Im from Alabama and I love New York style pizza
They did great today. I asked for them to make the Sicilian pizza a little thinner because it was kinda raw last time and they didi just that. Perfect broccoli and chicken they added, I would prefer the chicken to be a bit more season but that's just my thing but not bad. And they also gave me the coco bread I asked for. I told them to charge me for it and not sure if they did but it doesn't matter because you follow every instruction. I appreciate you guys. Thank you
