The Scene
Take a New Yorker to this joint. If he doesn't say it reminds him of Queens, it's because he's crying tears of homesickness. Dishes are authentic pizzeria staples (the owner hails from Italy via Ozone Park), but the low price is the main draw. Don't bother if you're out for the fancy stuff.
The Food
Salads are hit-and-miss, especially when the place gets slammed, but pizza's the star: thin-crust and snappy, flavorful and moist, sans drippy fluorescent-orange grease. Abundant fresh meats and vegetables serve as stand-alone meals despite their cameo performances as toppings. Cheeses have an Old-World texture, and zesty sauces, even plain-Jane marinara, have exactly the right amounts of herbs and garlic without any neoclassic minimalism.

Lunch menu is cheap. the pizza is great. service is usually very quick. I eat there all the time. In comparison to other Italian restaurants the food is on the top of my list.

Have always enjoyed the food here until the other night when we were refused service. The hours on the door read that the restaurant is open until 10:00 pm. We walked in the door at 9:30 and were told we could only order to go. There were quite a few tables with people still eating and they refused to let us sit to enjoy our meal. Needless to say we did not order. We were very disappointed with the way we were treated and are finding very hard to return.

The title says it all. I've never even tried any of their other pizza because I'm so addicted to the New York style cheese pizza. Everytime we go, we each order a house salad and a piece of thin-crust cheese pizza. (Hot enough that you have to bite into it c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y; plenty of yummy cheese and not too much sauce; tasty crust that isn't overly crispy!) Then we split a piece of Romano's amazing cheesecake. As far as I'm concerned, that's a meal made in heaven!
