"The cheese pizza I had was quite filling, but that’s where the positives end. The cheese had a rubbery texture, the sauce was insufficient and bland, and the dough was chewy, lacking both flavor and proper cooking. Overall, the pizza reminded me of the kind I endured in school, which I was eager to forget—definitely not a good sign. While pizza is generally an affordable meal option, these plain slices were over $3.50 each! For something so basic and unappealing, that's outrageous. There are countless places in and around NYC that offer much better pizza at lower prices. It's shocking how expensive this disappointing pizza is, especially given how many tourists and locals the restaurant attracts. The price for a whole pizza is somewhat reasonable, at least. Unfortunately, the worst part came shortly after finishing the pizza—I experienced a severe stomachache that felt like intense menstrual cramps for hours. I completely lost my appetite for dinner and only managed to eat some fruit, which was uncomfortable to do. It’s worth noting that I hadn’t eaten anything else beforehand, so the pizza was definitely the culprit. Who knows, maybe there was actual rubber or plastic in that cheese? I wouldn’t be shocked. The pizza on display also looked dry, overly thin, and of poor quality. Additionally, I’ve ordered from here before, and I can confirm that you cannot microwave this pizza. It cools down rapidly, so if you order more than one slice, reheating is almost a necessity. However, when you do, the pizza becomes even tougher and chewier (and tasteless) than before. Trust me, do NOT microwave this pizza. I’ve tried it and regretted ordering pizza entirely. I wouldn’t have bothered writing a review if it weren't for the stomachache—it truly was the last straw. This place will definitely be my last choice for takeout on the island from now on."

Razor thin pizza, $4-5 per slice , didn’t taste like anything. Mind blowing as to why this is 4.4 star.

The chicken wings with hot sauce are absolutely rocking. I'll probably put these wings in the top 10 in NYC.

Excellent service and delicious pizza and pasta. Joselyn truly made the day. This will definitely be a must-visit on my next trips to Roosevelt Island.

I walked out without ordering my last two visits. Workers are lazy and ignore you at the counter. They sometimes don't even answer the phone when you try to order. View menu

Really bad BBQ Chicken pizza. They advertise it as chicken marinated in BBQ sauce . We got a bland chicken pizza with some jelly-like-cheapest-bbq-sause-sweet-as-f@ -you-can-get-from-Walmart type spread on it.

One of the good places to eat when you’re on Roosevelt Island, lots of pizza options. I’d the vegetarian pizza, with broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes onions toppings. They have both indoor outdoor seating arrangements. 4/5

Smaller than expected. A little divy, but clean. Limited inside seating a bit crowded. More choices outside. Lovely friendly wait service. Fast delivery of food. Very tasty dishes. Reasonably priced. Can get a little noisy inside, especially when school kids show up. View menu

I ordered pasta and was told it would take 20 minutes, but after waiting for 45 minutes, we were still waiting as they seemed to prioritize delivery orders over dine-in customers. When the food finally arrived, the pasta was plentiful, but there was barely any sauce. I won’t be returning to this restaurant.

I am a fan of al dente but my gnocchi was rock hard. The guys with me had sandwiches which are hard to mess up. People who like this place talk about the pizza so maybe that's the ticket. Service was pretty bad but they were swamped and there were only a couple of people working. Sorry, this is the truth. Patio lacked charm, I had to go inside to get a glass of water to swallow my food.
