Review 1:

My co-workers and I popped over here last week for a quick lunch.  It was almost 100 degrees outside the day we came so I felt so bad for the staff being in the back with the oven.  Nonetheless, they were super friendly and hadn't passed out from heat stroke by the time we arrived. The slices are huge NYC style so one was plenty.  I went with the Margherita slice.  The crust was the star of the show and was perfectly crisp while still maintaining a chew.  I didn't love the tomato slices on top of the sauce, cheese and basil.  Disclaimer that I don't love tomato that isn't in the form of a sauce so I might not have been the best audience for this presentation. My co-worker ordered the garlic knots which to me were absolute perfection.  The dough was so chewy and loaded with a little bit of red pepper, garlic oil, parmesan and another herb I couldn't quite put my finger on.  I could have eaten plate after plate of this!

Review 2:

OMG, the garlic knots! I could live on these alone. Having spent a decade in New York City, this place is a little taste of home! I appreciate that they put their unique spin on the classic NY style slice (and the wink of the name of the spot). It's got that great chewiness and a crisp crust, and the flavors here are fresher than you'd expect.Everything I've had here has been delicious but the biggest pleasant surprise here is their white pie. It's probably the best I've had anywhere, period. The location is phenomenal, with a patio overlooking the literal five points of the neighborhood's namesake. They've got some fun cross-promotions with the bar next door, too, in case you need something to wash your pizza down with!  This is a perfect place to begin or end a weekend night with friends.

Review 3:

Being a Colorado native I'm already aware, from years of you east coast transplants explaining it to me, that I know absolutely nothing about pizza. Knowing that it makes this review all the more satisfying to write. I feel like my ever expanding waistline is more than enough to declare myself at least somewhat well versed in the subject of putting slices of pizza in my face and this, my friends, is quite respectable in that realm. The dough is chewy and crunchy at the same time, the sauce is slowly simmered and has a nice sweetness and acidity that cuts through the fat of the cheese. The white pie is my favorite so far, having said that I've yet to try the entire menu. The dive bar attached is a great place to post up and enjoy a cold beer with you slice. I'm required to cast a glance of judgement at all of you one star people with your hubris. Please call your mom or hire a psychiatrist, lambasting people on the internet isn't a proper way to deal with your mental health issues
