This restaurant is a casual, neighborhood-style restaurant, and has been a family-operated establishment since the 1940s. The dining room has brick walls, which reflects the history of the building. Lunch and dinner are served every day of the week. Popular menu items include the original Tomato Pie--a pizza with only marinara sauce--and the White Pie--which has mozzarella cheese and garlic. Guests are allowed to bring their own bottle of wine or beer. The restaurant does not have a large staff, so you may have to wait longer than usual for your pizza to be done.
