Its really good pie. Its only take out though so its hard to get a right from the oven sampling. Of course I always grab a slice for the ride home. ITs really on the other side of town from where I live but I prove my dedication to the Pie by making the trek. There also a cool neighborhood bar right around the corner and you can take your pie there and grab a beer. Good job slice finding our only worthy pie.

Well Id say, it just "aint dere no mo" or never was dere. I can ditto Tower and Piza Delicious. PD is the closest to a good NY pie that we have. Ninos, although he is from Bay Ridge, is close but never enough cheese. Its a dilemma because he's authentic NY style, but Bad NY style. He wouldnt make it back in Brooklyn but to be fair, his sauce,chicken parm, Ziti and lasagna are really good. Slice Pizzeria was my go to and really has had their moment but they are so inconsistent that I cant even take a chance anymore. USed to be that their Slices came out better than the pies because I guess they were reheated and gave a good crisp crust. We actually did a formal-but sketchy Pizza Tour, and Warehouse Pizza came out towards the top but he bakes in an impinger oven and his sauce is too spicy. Id say that number one would be Tower. The rest of the places around are Turkish style ( Reginellis et al )with loads of toppings and a thick doughy crust.

I hope he serves Dop Jhelf Liggor.

I usually order well dont too, but for take home pie, I prefer to preheat the oven when ordering and just slide it in for a few when I get it home. Ill admit I usually cant wait either so Ill sometimes sneak a slice as is.

Armondos! Yes. You are right Shelly, it was definitely a late, late night place and we did smoke a lot of weed back then although I dont remember any extra seasonings on the pie.
I still tell the story about the time I went in and like any serious eater, I asked for a particular slice of the pie.
The guy looked right at me with a straight face and said NO! Im like, NO?After a few seconds of staredown, I said, Why not? He waited a few more seconds, smiled and said, I got a better one for you! He did and it was a perfect square slice.

Just found your site and love it. Im from Coney Island, living in New Orleans, definitely not a pie town. We're doing a formal Piza Tour here and have hit 4 places so far, none too good so far. Ill post my write ups in the future if you'll have them. My input to this post would be L& B. Im glad to see that it is somewhat revered/ respected here because to me its my number one. Sicillian only of course. There used to be a place under the Kings Highway D train station that had PErfect Sicillians, more traditional than LB but awesome. Thick with a perfect three level crust. Decent sauce and cheese. ANyone remember this place? Its been 20 years. Grew up on Roccos Brighton beach which Im sure doesnt rate now but it did back then.
