Handmade pizzas by the slice or whole pie, plus gelato
"Dragon Pizza has gotten some buzz lately, but all you need to know is the pizza is excellent and the vibes are great. The counter-service spot has murals of cassettes and a framed photo of John Dalton (that’s Patrick Swayze’s bouncer character in Roadhouse) on the walls. They don’t serve booze, just New York-style pizza by the slice. The cheese and pepperoni are solid, and they also do stuff like nacho slices that NYC places wouldn’t be caught dead serving. Definitely save space for whatever homemade gelato they’re serving that day—the dark chocolate is rich in all the right ways and the Gucci vanilla delivers on the designer name." - tanya edwards, catherine smart
"It’s inevitable that you’ll get hungry while running errands around the neighborhood, and for a quick, cheap bite, you can’t do much better than Dragon Pizza. We can’t get over the maple bacon cheddar slice with its sweet and spicy maple sauce drizzle, the simple and fresh margherita, and their classic pepperoni. The pizzas here are thin crust, enormous, and an exceptionally great value ($5 per slice) for their quality. We can’t promise that the pizza will heal your ego after Buffalo Exchange rejects all the clothes you tried to sell that day, but hey, at least you won’t be hungry." - lala thaddeus

"After a brief renovation and the addition of a liquor license, this pizza parlor reopened with some flair. In addition to local beer on tap and a small selection of wine, it now serves refreshing, simple cocktails, such as a blueberry shandy and a rose gimlet, which seem to pair well with its famous pies that went viral in 2023, like the classic margherita and the kung pao chicken pizza." - Valerie Li Stack
