Great pizza! It was loaded with toppings and the owner is super personable. Most legitimate nyc pizza I have had on the west coast. Great place for a single slice or a pie.

Delicious and bountiful pie! Rozzi was friendly and helpful when I arrived, and accommodated a special request which I appreciated. I took my pizza to go, and while eating there would be fine, it’s a fairly bare bones patio. The pizza felt weighty and toppings were plentiful. Flavor was delicious, crust was thin but it wasn’t a delicate pizza. I’m not a New Yorker but think it seemed like a fairly authentic NY pizza. Give it a try!

Although the straightforward set up made it easy to order, everything on the menu looked too good to decide! Ordered the Rozzi, Hey Papo, West Side, and Queen’s Pie slices. All easily the best slices of pizzas we’ve had in a while. Don’t sleep on the simplicity of the Rozzi, btw. The owner was extremely kind and you can tell he’s very excited about this spot he’s created! We’ll definitely be back for more.

The pizza was delicious - perfectly crispy crust topped with tender artichokes and just the right amount of cheese. Simple, fresh, and satisfying! Thank you!

This is honestly some of the best New York pizza I’ve had in a long time (outside of New York). The crust is crispy and the sauce is spicy. I got a slice of pepperoni and it was as good or better than many of the slices I’ve had in New York. Service was easy and fast. The only challenge with this place is finding parking on a busy night. Recommend.

So good! You can feel the love and passion put into this pizza. Excellent service, yummy pizza. Fills a need that SB has had for a while. Go wine tasting in the funk zone and stop here for a slice afterwards. You won't regret it.

As a New Yorker, this was the best pizza slice I’ve had in California. The guy was super chill and authentic, also a native New Yorker, who’s goal is bring NY pizza culture (“by the slice”) to CA. Delicious pizza, highly recommend stopping here.

This is the place you've been looking for!! The pizza has that perfect crispy chewy crust. I could actually taste the tomato sauce on the pizza and the crispy edge pepperonis were to die for! You can actually fold the pizza to eat and it was the PERFECT road trip Pizza for PCH!
