A classic Columbia-adjacent slice counter where the move is simple: big, greasy-in-a-good-way New York slices that solve hunger fast. Treat it as late-night fuel or a quick lunch—one jumbo slice is the whole plan.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; very limited and competitive, especially evenings. Public transit is the smarter move.
Dress code: Ultra-casual — anything goes, including sweats or post-gym clothes.
Noise level: Loud and bustling — not designed for conversation.
Weekend wait: 5–10 minutes depending on late-night rush
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait or just a few minutes
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — classic cheese and veggie slices are always available.
Vegan options: Very limited — sauce-only slices possible, no vegan cheese.
Gluten-free options: No — standard pizza shop with no gluten-free crusts.
Best For
Better for: Oversized, ultra-filling slices that deliver maximum calories per dollar — especially late at night.
Skip if: You want ambiance, sit-down comfort, or a curated slice selection — this is about speed and size, not nuance.
