Silas ColeJanuary 20, 2010They make a meatball sub, which is amazing but also on the menu...what's NOT on the menu, and is equally amazing is the meatball SICILIAN PIZZA! Takes about 45 minutes, well worth the wait!
Saurabh BhamNovember 7, 2015Their mushroom pizza is a delight for vegetarians. Just in case you want enjoy the pizza with a fancy cocktail then you can always take it with you to the awesome bar across the street - Prize Fighter
Brian StraussSeptember 4, 2019Really good! Sort of a hybrid of styles: New York pizza, with a Cal-Ital topping sensibility.
Ryan BlockJuly 17, 2016This place has some of the best ingredients and flavor of any pizza I've ever eaten.
- The pizza is great. But their meatball sandwich is genuinely remarkable, with the perfect bread crisp.
Jeffrey LowyAugust 8, 2014Everything is great. Try the meat ball sub, and ask for a lemon slice for your pizza. Trust me...- Shelly ZordichDecember 5, 2015Just. So. Good. But greasy so get extra napkins. Get some slices and head over to the prizefighter for a drink!
Outstanding Pizza and nice staff + they are open until 10:00 pm!- James LeeMarch 5, 2012Grab a couple slices and head down to prizefighter just down the street. Awesome pizza at an awesome bar
- _February 7, 2015The pizza is delicious, but not worth $3.50 a slice is not worth it. Also the meatball sub we ordered was burnt.
Meatball sub. I can't get it out of mymind. Try it.
