Even though this particular pizza parlor is nothing to really write home about, its low-fi presence on the Lower East Side nevertheless catered perfectly to both late-night revelers and local school kids alike. Even How to Make it in America placed the corner eatery in an episode last season.
How would you rate their brand of pizza?
