It is located in the East Village, and you will always find a line that leads out the door. Don't let the line dissuade you though. It is well worth the wait.

The pizza shop has many different types of pizza for you to enjoy. You can choose the crab, Sicilian, margarita, or the famous artichoke pizza. All of them are delicious, and you might want to try a few different types on your visit. You can also try the stuffed artichokes, which are phenomenal.

When you come to the pizza shop, make sure you have cash with you. The shop does not accept credit cards, just a warning in advance.
