John's Pizzeria of Times Square

2/17/2026 First stop in NY you have to get pizza right ?!? Exactly just a few streets over we ended up at John’s. Starting with a healthy portion of Caeser salad which was great fresh shavings of Parmesan and crisp lettuce. Had the margarita pizza with pepperonis a large ( 2 of us got it down guess I was pretty hungry). It gave everything a ny slice should’ve gave I was highly pleased. Chewy crust, satisfying slices, and a beautiful time. Bathroom rating: 5/5

A Beautiful Pizzeria Renovated from a Historic Church John’s Pizzeria is set inside a beautifully renovated former church. The spacious, multi-level dining room features a striking Manhattan mural and original stained-glass ceilings, creating a great atmosphere. They serve classic New York–style pizza with a slightly thicker crust, topped simply with cheese and tomato sauce. Hearty, satisfying, and nicely chewy around the crust. Appetizers, pasta, and sides are also available, making it a solid spot for a relaxed meal or date.

I’ve ordered 3 different pizza to insure I give my absolute honest feedback. I’ve also ordered one pasta with meatballs, for the quality of the pizza I must say I was expecting something little more premium, the crust was little hard and the topping though it was packed felt like it was coming direct from the freezer to the pizza and then placed into the fire pit, the chicken was little hard, the pepperoni was little to oily with less cheese and the margarita I was expecting more cheese they covered it with some greenry which is a first for me on a margarita pizza. While the location is fabulous and the architecture is beautiful the place missed the soul which is the music that will greate the vibe. If you are not an expert pizza lover then you won’t find my comments valid as the food is still tasty just not as perfect as when visiting other pizzeria in the same area

What a fantastic find while in the city for the day! Staff was nice, attentive, and informative. Place was clean, nostalgic, and warm. We placed our order and it arrived so quick to our table! Plenty of seating, which was a great find because so many restaurants have very limited seating in NYC. Would definitely come back here! For a group of 4, our bill was less than 70.00 before tip.

We had to grab a quick bite before our 1pm show. You need to wait in line as they don’t do reservations. This doesn’t bother me. It’s actually quite interesting. It’s part of the experience. We along with quite a few others were swiftly seated. I can tell they do this regularly. It’s efficient and pleasant. Our waitress was extremely nice and friendly and efficient. The ambience is nice. The food super tasty. I highly recommend John’s even though the name is boring. :D We know we will come back again!

Walked into John’s of Times Square on 44th like a grown man on a mission 🍕 First thing that hits you—this place looks epic inside. Cathedral ceilings, old-school brick, stained glass vibes… feels like you’re about to attend mass for pizza. Absolute New York energy. Then there are the 800-degree coal-fired ovens—no thermostats, just pure skill. Four brick ovens seasoned with age like cast iron, run by pizza guys who trained longer than most prizefighters. No two pies the same, all of them respected. I ordered the regular Neapolitan, because when a spot has this much confidence, you don’t overthink it. Crispy, chewy, smoky, fresh ingredients doing pushups on my taste buds. Simple. Honest. Dangerous. No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just a legendary NYC pizza joint reminding me why New York doesn’t debate pizza—we just eat it and let history speak. 🍕🔥 #johnspizza #timesquareeats #nycpizza #coal fired #neapolitanpie #classicnyc #foodieinthebigapple

We found this pizza spot near Times Square on Google Maps while looking for a place with shorter wait times and less salty pizza. The spacious dining area meant we were seated right away. We ordered a Margherita pizza with light cheese, and it was fresh, not greasy, and well balanced in flavor. The staff were friendly overall, though it was slightly inconvenient that our group, carrying large backpacks, was first seated at a small two person table.

One of the best place to have pizzas if you are visiting times square area. They also have veg options available. They also serves some good vegetarian food item like bruschetta and margharita pizza. They also have good options in drink as well. The staff is courteous and the place is value for money.

My buddy said this used to be an old church and I had to go here. FYI This is a tourist trap. Tons of high school trips, etc. so if you are looking for something authentic nyc this isn't the vibe. Your entire party needs to be present yo be seated. Got sat right by the entrance so super busy location. Took some shots of the interior. They had pineapple juice on the menu so happy with that. Decided to do a large pizza with half white pie and other with red sauce, pepperoni, mushrooms and olives. Solid pie. Would I go back? Maybe. But definitely prefer Joe's white pie.

As a Pizzaholic who travels the globe, I rate this pizza at about a 6.5 on 1 to 10 scale. Crust is OK but maybe a bit too rubbery. Tomato sauce kinda bland to my taste. My travel partner liked the basil on her pizza. Having been a church, the ambience is nice and the staff were very cordial. Would I go back again? No.

This is a tried and true pizza establishment. Highly rated overall, so it's easy to go in with an inflated opinion. This is my second time here, and I really wanted to try somewhere else, but due to the Winter Storm Hernando, certain places were closed. Anywho, John's is rated 5th on the One Bite Pizza score. So I decided to try again. First off, the last time was good, but I wasn't wowed. I had the Margarita pizza then, and it was reasonably good. This time, I decided to get what I wanted and do a traditional pie with Italian Sausage! So glad I did! The crust was done well, not too chewy, not too crunchy, just a good bite. Toppings weren't over done, but you tasted it in every bite. To me Fennell is the spice that makes pizza taste like well pizza and this Italian sausage was loaded with fennel and it was amazing. Just the right amount of sauce, just the right amount of cheese, just the right amount of sausage, just the right amount of cook time. Overall, I'd get this pizza five out of five. The location is a 5! Secondly, is the service. I was warmly greeted and sat at the bar with no wait, which is not the usual for New York City, especially in Times Square. But again. it was during a snowstorm, so maybe that had something to do with it, but I got seated promptly and was served a really nice glass of Montepulciano red wine, which is technically their house red and was a little bit more value for the money; highly recommend. Lastly, you have to consider where you're eating. This location is an old church and it does not miss on the uniqueness of the setting in the stained glass ceiling is phenomenal. You can walk back to see the Coal fire ovens and watch them load the pizzas in right there before you eat. Definitely a win-win for anybody who chooses to go here.

Visited after a friend recommended we check out a pizza place located in a "church." This may be on my friend, but I was definitely expecting something more extravagant... Ordered the bruschetta pizza and penne de vodka. Pasta was okay, nothing mind-blowing. Pizza was good, but very simple (as bruschetta pizza is). Staff were friendly and attentive.

Great place to go before a broadway show. We got there right as it opened and we were seated immediately. When we left there was a huge line so definitely go early. We got two pizzas and enjoyed them both. The sauce was not as flavorful as I had hoped but the toppings were good.

Pizza was REALLY good - if you don't has a reservation get there early. We just missed the rush getting there at 4:30pm! The classic traditional cheese was my favorite - but the pepperoni was also good to have half and half. Service was really nice and it was such a cool unique spot! Central of course if you have shows or places to be!

Review on bar service cause this place was packed but also our fault for not making a reservation ahead of time, the day before NYE. Drinks are strong or maybe I'm a lightweight, haha. But they sure make a dang good espresso martini. We ordered a pizza to share, traditional and added meatballs and pepperoni. Pizza was solid and was perfect after walking around in the brisk temps.

We were looking to try some NY pizza and we thought this place was rather neat as it was inside of an old church. They also had many play bills on the wall for decoration. Seemed almost touristy in nature. The food was just OK. The mozzarella wedges seemed frozen vs fresh and fried up and the pizza was just OK. The wine was pretty basic for house wine. The service staff was very friendly and attentive. Give them a try for yourself, but doubt we will be back.

First visit and fortunately it wasn't packed when we arrived at 8 pm on a Wednesday. We were seated right away in more of a quiet area near the front side of the shop. No ambience here but it was much quieter. We first ordered a couple drinks. I tried their sangria; for $16 it was lacking as it was very sugary. We then got a 14 inch pizza and it was very good, yet $43 for a 14 inch pizza makes it a first and last purchase for me.

John's is a fixture of my New York experience. I know that I will step in from the cold to a warm, happy place with the best pizza. The cathedral ceiling gets me every time. The line can get long after the shoes can get long so consider takeout if you're short on time.

John's has always been one of my family's traditional go-to spots in NYC, so I decided to take my partner there for his first time visiting the city. One thing I love about NYC is newer businesses that have moved into unique spaces and kept a lot of the older architecture, and John's is a great example. The waiting system is a bit weird (take a number and wait for it to pop up on a tiny screen above the bar), but it was busy so we spent a bit of our wait checking out the Theater Circle next. After about 30 minutes we were seated. We split a Caesar salad to start and almost couldn't finish it. Our pizza came out fast after and we went to town. Even if you can probably find better NY-style pizza outside of Times Square, John's is always tasty and a fun dining experience. Our leftover pizza was still delicious the next night straight out of the hotel fridge.

The interior is pretty interesting as this was a Gospel Tabernacle Church, a 19th-century building constructed in 1888, before becoming a restaurant in 1997. Pizza is ok, service is fast even around the dinner time, we got our pizza in 10 minutes. Pizza is ok, prices are as expected in Manhattan.

My favorite place in NYC to eat every time! This was my first meal off the plane on my trip! Food: YUM!! The garlic rolls were AMAZING. I would eat the garlic rolls every night if I could. The chicken and vegetables were delicious as well. Yum!!! So worth it!!! Service: Quick! Friendly! Always refilling waters, woo!! We were seated as soon as we walked in. Ambiance: Love the mural on the wall and reading the menu to see why the creator chose that space! The lighting is just right. There is a lively spirit in the air. Bathrooms are clean!

They had the most amazing marghetia pizza and rolls!! The atmosphere is so true to the authentic italian pizzeria and the service is at the top!! Would recommend anyone to this restaurant for a nice dinner date night in the city or mid day lunch with some friends. Plus was seeing my favorite server, Jamie. He was one of the reasons I come back to this location and getting my usual Shirley Temples with the amazing Garlic Rolls. It's always a good time seeing a familiar face when I come and visit the city.

John's is in a beautiful setting. Be sure to read the history of the restaurant on the back of the menu. The service is prompt and precise. We were lucky enough to be seated in a corner booth next to the food prep area and were able to watch the pizza prep and firing. The upside is the ambiance. It's definitely a tradition. The downside is that the menu is a little old school. The pizza is a thinner crust and crispy on the edges. You can taste the fire. Very comforting and rustic. The ingredients and choices are traditional, rather than creative. We did not try anything aside from salad and pizza, so cannot judge any of the other food. The pizzas have a base price and additional ingredients begin at $3 per item. The pizza was fine. Nothing to write home about, but good in an old school way. I would recommend this place for the experience and friendly staff.

One of the most hyped pizza place, went in with a lot of expectation. The staff were really kind and the place was packed!! The pizza was definitely Yummy but did not meet my expectations.

After coming all the way from CA and waiting one hour this was the worst pizza I have ever eaten! It was SOGGY and the pineapple was way too sweet probably old out of the can. I now need to find a new place for pizza redemption. The only nice thing is that it's a big place for large groups with nice ambiance. Good luck if you want to use the bathroom there is ONE STALL for this huge restaurant. The chicken parm was also terrible there was NO CHEESE on the pasta. As an Italian, this place was such a shame to my country.

This is a hidden gem. It is just off of 10 Square and it is in a former church building. It seats over 400 people and is very lively at lunchtime. Service was moderately fast but not friendly. The pizza was cooked perfectly with a nice char on the bottom. Everything is fresh and flavorful. We enjoyed our salad.

This was a really fun place to try after just wandering around Times Square! I came here with my family which don't really enjoy Italian Food since it just doesn't matched their food preferences. Italian food tends to be heavier and they just don't prefer it. That said, this place was well liked by everyone! The restaurant takes places in an old church and it shows in the architecture. Service was pretty quick too - they were able to sit my party of 9 pretty quickly. We ordered wings, chicken parmesan, a large margherita pizza with pepperoni, and garlic knots. All the items came out fresh and hot. The pizza in particular was a standout with the fresh and aromatic basil on top. Definitely visit John's Pizza!

Cool little spot right off Time Square New York City. Great pizza and beer. Good staff and friendly service. Wasn't as touristy as you'd think.

This place was such a charming place to eat! Located in a renovated church building, this restaurant is beautiful! We ordered the bruschetta, which was a little lacking, but it tasted alright. The pizza was very good though! As a Chicago girl, I can be pretty picky about pizza, but I would do this place again. It wasn't the best pizza I've ever had in my life, but again, I might be partial to Chicago local spots. A nice place for dinner though!

We visited "The Big Apple" and wanted to try some pizza since that's what I've always heard New York is known for. We asked around a bit and were told that Joe's is the place to go--but there was a huge line. People also said that if Joe's is too busy, your best bet is John's, so we ended up there instead. It was a hot, humid day in NYC, and when we walked into John's, you could feel a bit of AC--but not much. The place was busy, but since it was just the two of us, we didn't wait long to get seated. We were taken to the larger section of the restaurant, which was surprisingly hot and pretty dark inside. It's a big, open space, and if there was any air conditioning running, it wasn't doing much. We were given menus, and after a bit, the waiter came by to introduce himself. He said he'd be right back, but it took a while for him to return and take our drink order. By then, we were ready to order everything. We got a half pepperoni, half Pizza Bianca, and some cheese garlic bread to start. We waited quite a while to get our drinks. The garlic bread came out first--and it was disappointing. It was barely toasted (if you could even call it that), there was no browning, and barely any cheese. We didn't even finish it. Eventually, the pizza came out. Honestly, by the time we sat down, ordered, and got our food, we probably could have just waited in Joe's line and eaten there instead. As for the pizza... it was just okay. My friend and I were both disappointed. If this is what NYC pizza is supposed to be, we've had better back home. The crust was super floppy and greasy. Overall, it just didn't feel worth the wait or the poor service. We had to wave down the waiters multiple times to get refills, our check, and to finally close out the bill. All in all, if you're looking for something quick or great service--don't come here. And if you're after great pizza, maybe explore a few other spots. Joe's might've been worth the wait, but we didn't get to try it. However, we did go to "Little Italy Pizza" near the Nintendo store, and we really liked that one.

Look for the red awning for John's Pizzeria! The arugula salad was perfect for us two. It would wasily accommodate 3-5 people for a small side salad. The light dressing (simple oil) was divine. Ordered a small pie: half traditional and half margarita with pepperoni. Cocktail ordered was matinee. Nice with muddled strawberries.

John's Pizza in New York has that classic, old-school pizzeria vibe that just feels right. The ambiance is everything you want from a New York pizza joint: lively, a little chaotic, and packed with energy. You can tell it's loved by locals and visitors alike. We started with the garlic knots, which were decent -- warm and soft, though they could've used a bit more seasoning or a hit of marinara to really make them pop. We ordered the Ricotta Mozzarella pizza and added prosciutto. It came out piping hot with a gorgeous golden crust. The cheese was rich and creamy, and the prosciutto added a nice savory touch, though it pushed the saltiness up a bit higher than I prefer. Next time, I might skip the extra topping to better enjoy the balance of the original pie. Try to visit during off-peak hours to beat the crowds!

Close to theaters makes this an easy convenient pre-theater tourist destination. Unfortunately the pizza is just okay and not as good as its Bleeker St cousin.

While in New York and getting ready to see a Broadway play, we wanted to grab a quick bite to eat. Of course, we had to try some classic New York pizza. After receiving several recommendations, we decided on John's -- and it didn't disappoint. The inside of the restaurant had a really cool vibe. It was packed, but the service was impressively efficient. We kept it simple and ordered a basic cheese pizza and a Caesar salad. The pizza came out quickly and was delicious. Being from California, it reminded me a bit of Pizza My Heart -- but with a better crust. It was the perfect balance of soft and crispy, and the cheese and sauce were spot on. Next time I'm in New York, Joe's Pizza is definitely on my list.

This is a lovely restaurant with a very friendly staff. The decor is that of an old school Italian restaurant. We were seated and attended to immediately. Now for the food. I was on the wall about giving this place 3 or 4 stars. Honestly it deserves 3.5 but that's not an option on Yelp, so 3 it is. We ordered the fried ravioli that was fried to perfection however the breading was tasteless and the Marinara dipping sauce was underwhelming. We also ordered the fried calamari, tasteless as well and the Sicilian wings which were not flavorful. I needed to add salt to all 3 appetizers and still they failed it hit the mark. Don't get me wrong everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. Hence my desire to rate them with 3.5 stars. We ordered the traditional pizza with mushrooms and sundried tomatoes. The pizza came out more Margherita style with sauce over the top of the cheese which we were not expecting. It was good but not great. With all of that said, I don't recommend it unless you are watching your sodium intake and don't mind bland dishes.

One of our favorite spots near Times Square. We stumbled upon John's a few years ago, and we won't stop coming back every time we visit. The pizza is absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere is one of my favorites. It feels like you're inside a cathedral once you're seated, and it's magical. The calamari is a must, and any pizza you try is delicious. The sauce is the best! We have been here plenty of times and have yet to have a bad experience. Keep up the great work, John's!!

I was able to return to NYC for a second trip this year...and I brought two of my best friends & one of their partners to try out NY pizza! We arrived at the restaurant a little after 1pm and the establishment was empty. It was the perfect time to visit. The restaurant was quiet, staff were attentive, and the food was amazing as always. We ordered 2 large pizzas and 2 Ceasar salads. There were leftover pizza slices that we took home...and somehow the pizza was better the day after! I cannot recommend this place enough.

John's is right in the heart of Times Square. Upon entering you will need to check in with the front desk and they will hand you a number. You have to stand near the bar and watch your number show up on a screen, felt like bingo and I wasn't a fan. 30 minutes later we were sat, service quickly came over with water ready to go, love this. Seating is great, not the normal NYC style where you on right next to other guests. We ordered a salad which came quite quickly and also ordered a pizza, obviously, which took about 20 minutes. Pizza was super hot and the sauce was a little bit more on the tomato side for us. Finally, the shakers on the table were all bashed in, and I would think they should have replaced this by now. This feels like a great tourist spot and is worth a visit if you are in the area otherwise there's plenty of pizza joints to try it around NYC.

A fairly unique offering in the bustling Times Square! Fitted in what was previously a church, this pizza spot offers lots of character. I love that they didn't alter the setting and instead embrace the history of the building. I always enjoy a pie at John's when catching a Broadway show. They are open late so if you fancy a post show pizza, you're in luck. We were seated at about ten pm without a wait, but if you do want to dine pre-show, call ahead in case. I've seen the place when it is packed! Ultimately though, it's pretty large with a second level of available seating. They definitely turn tables fast when they need to. The servers are all friendly and the pies are delicious! Margarita is my go-to! If you are in the theater district for any reason, John's should be on your restaurant roster.

Amazing pizza and really nice atmosphere, such a treat for us tourists/explorers wanting to have a nice dinner with family. Note, I recall it was a bit noisy maybe.

Best pizza in NYC! And I grew up in Brooklyn so I know pizza. Yes, there is pizza in Brooklyn that is as good but I've never found good pizza outside of Brooklyn, until today. I can't believe it but it's true. Generous toppings, real mootz and amazing sauce. Just the right amount of oil. Foldable and delicious. Also, amazing chicken parm hero's/subs as well. Two layers of nice, thin chicken with the best sauce I've had in years. Just the right amount of sauce too. Huge inside. Looks small when you walk in but it's a renovated church in the back. Amazing ceiling. Service was exceptional. We're spending Christmas week staying at the Westin a block away and we WILL be here for lunch at least five times this trip. I'm also going to get a chicken parm hero to go for the trip home. Usually Times Square food is bad but not this place. Do yourself a favor and go here. You'll thank me...and John.

Walking in- miscommunication about our reservations, but we were able to get a table. Glasses had marks on them that we were able to wipe off with our fingers, but the atmosphere was great. Service- we had a huge party and it was packed, and considering that the food came out in good time. Meal- The traditional pizza was delicious, the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. The hawaiian pizza was also nice, the pineapple and ham added a subtle but effective touch. The crust was a bit tough and chewy but still edible. If you're looking to try traditional New York pizza and also sit down and enjoy a meal, stop by John's of Times Square today!

Upon entering a latina with glasses immediately tried to steer us to the bar, which is tiny and unimpressive. The whole point of this place is to see the damn church ceiling right? So we asked for a booth inside the oh so very hallowed church,this vatican of pizza. Then she said "well the waiter just got a 7 top so it will be a wait." How rude and unkempt manners! Anyway, we wound up ordering faster than the table of 7 which only ordered two large pizzas to share for the whole table. Guys, the pizza lives up to the hype. I ate a whole one by myself on top of my eggplant parm. Taking away two stars because of the ill mannered hostess and the tricky menu that makes you pay $3 to replace the side of pasta which I was led to believe came with my parm. I wound up getting a skimpy "side salad" to replace my pasta which I would have expected the pasta and then pay $3 for the cheapskate salad.

Classic old school New York Pizzeria. This restaurant serves up generous servings, so be sure to bring your appetite! The margarita pizza was the main event here, as were the garlic rolls. A family owned and operated establishment that is housed in an old church, so head to the back and look up at the stained glass ceiling! So gorgeous and unique saved from the original structure. Touches of yore serve to remind of what once was... Benches that were former pews serve for seating, a beautiful mural, and the place overall feels cozy, and genuine. We had superb service as we made it in an absolute downpour that came out of nowhere. We were greeted with upmost hospitality. Nice to see there are still family owned businesses doing well.

We were able to be seated quickly which was a very good thing. I remember waiting almost an hour several years ago to snag a table. They have two levels but often choose not to seat patrons up there. This restaurant is located in an old church. This alone attracts a lot of patrons. On the night I ate there in December, our server was nice. We only ordered a large pizza and a couple of drinks. The beer I drank was a local one and it was very good. The taste of the pizza was ok. I remember it tasting better. The base of it was very thin. My daughter and I had a very long day of walking around the city. I am glad John's dat us quickly but I just don't think the food is that great. It is certainly not bad but not the best

Missed their mini meatballs. Now it's 2 big meatballs. Pizza still very good. Tried it with pepperoni n sausage. Tasty

We were seated very quickly for a party of 8. Water was brought immediately. Our server was friendly and efficient. One issue was when we ordered a 3rd pizza, he forgot to put the order in. The building is beautiful. The restrooms ok and typical for the area. The food was good. We ordered calamari, cheese pizza, and a calzone. They were all good. We would be back if in the area again.

I was in New York City and I decided to try the famous John's of Times Square. With that known, I ordered mozzarella wedges, Buffalo wings, and a pepperoni pizza. To start, the mozzarella wedges were excellent. The wedges were crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside. Likewise, the flavor was enjoyable as well. Following that, I tried the Buffalo wings which were solid. To explain, the wings were crispy and the sauce had good flavor, but the wings were a bit dry. After that, I tried John's famous pizza and I was a bit disappointed. To clarify, the crust was thin and crispy, but had no flavor. It had a little of that cardboard crust taste to it. On the other hand, the sauce was tasty and helped elevate the pizza. In addition, the cheese flavorful with just the right amount of grease. It was a fine pizza, but nothing special. All told, John's of Times Square is a fine restaurant, but it's not worth the hype.

We found this New York-style pizzeria while walking! It had excellent ratings, too. We ordered a pitcher of beer and two pizzas. And wow, it was delicious. The dough was thin but soft, not at all chewy. And the topping ratio was perfect!

I always look forward to eating at John's on my annual NY trip. Over the years the food remains consistently delicious. The service is solid. The historic building is cozy. Read the history of the building on the menu. It's a great location if you're going to a play or sightseeing in Times Square.

Ambiance was good. Service was good. Food was bland. I just kept adding salt to improve flavor. What we ate that was good was Caesar salad and fried ravioli.

The service was great and friendly. We were able to get food quickly before our show. It was loud, but I liked the vibe. The food was delicious. I'd definitely return.

John's pizzeria in Times Square is an absolute must go. My friend and I decided to try this pizzeria after I saw it on one of my Youtubers channel. After our lovely spa day, we jumped on the train and headed straight there. They only take walk-ins no reservations. When we got there they gave us a number and we waited, maybe around 10 minutes before we got seated. It was indeed crowded but that's always a good sign :) This restaurant is humongous. apparently it use to be a Cathedral. Our waiter Danny was super friendly and serviced us with a smile, and he took our order. We both ordered two Shirley temples and we got half margarita half pepperoni pizza, but started with their insanely delicious garlic rolls with mozzarella cheese in the center with a marinara dipping sauce. That is a must get. I have never tasted garlic rolls like that before and I will order that time and time again whenever I am there. My friend also got there chicken fettuccine, which was nice and creamy but it did lack a lot of flavor in terms of salt and pepper. All in all I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the Times Square area, you will not be disappointed.

John's of Time Square is the absolute quintessential Italian restaurant in NYC located in the heart of Times Square. The pizza crust and sauce are world class and their bolognese and pasta dishes are incredible. Great service and expect to wait but well worth it!

Heck yes! Not bad John, not bad. Caesar salad was fresh and delicious! 10/10 Caesar salad. Good flavor and plenty of dressing. My husband who doesn't eat salads, even ate some and enjoyed it. Fettuccine Alfredo with no chicken, substituted with shrimp. 7/10 The sauce was watery instead of thick and creamy. The shrimps were plump and tasty! And the broccoli was very fresh. Penne pasta with shrimp added 10/10 My husband rated this high and said it tasted really good. The Bianca pizza 10/10 I loved this pizza! Nice crust, the cheese ratio was good, and the ricotta dollops on top were amazing! That's a great white pizza right there! Mozzarella wedges 10/10 This was very good. Basically like mozzarella sticks, but in the shape of wedges. Very cheesy and the coating was tasty. Service was good. Our server was checking in on us and asked us how the food was. Casual ambiance in the restaurant. We walked right in without a reservation.
