Again, this place isnt too far from home. Me being a New Yorker and Connecticut native I have had some of the best pizza in my opinion. Chicago here I come!!!! :D Ok, so once inside you already know that this is a place that is familiar with the community. People are coming in and know the staff very comfortably. Now one thing Ive conditioned myself to do is know that all pizza places are different in their own way but one thing that I should expect is a great sauce. A signature taste. Something thats unique to them. Okay, the signature pizza here is this "Big Ass Slice". Lets go with this. I go with a sausage, pepperoni & onion Big Ass Slice. My niece goes with a pepperoni Big Ass Slice. Also get some wings in the mix. Honey Mustard for me & Mild for my niece. TVs in the joint have me watching the USA vs Mexico road to Russia soccer match while we wait. Ive had big NY slices but nothing like this. This "Big Ass Slice" is a meal in its own right. Good taste. No, its not what I am used to from back home but definitely a good eat. The cool thing is the pizza slicer thats given to you as you get this big slice. You dont lift this pizza up and shove it down your throat. You slice this baby up. Its their signature thing and you feel as part of this pizzeria as the community does as well. Good sauce, good taste, good cheese. Look thru the window and watch them make pizza thru the window. Wings were cooked on point! The mild was a little too hot for my niece and my honey mustard was spicy. Wasnt expecting that for a honey mustard taste. Dont get me wrong. It was really good and I actually liked my wings. But didnt expect spicy honey mustard wings, just honey mustard. They were cooked right. I did order some honey BBQ wings to take home for my sis and they were perfect!!! Other than the miss on the wings we ordered this is definitely a place to come to fill your belly and get familiar. Very friendly service. Very cozy quarters in this place so dont have claustrophobia. Make sure youre there early cause this is a busy place during peak hours. Already been here 3 times and the "Big Ass Slice" is worth its name!!! Get familiar with Pizza on 87. Sit ouside. Relax and feel at home with family. Gonna open up the menu a little more on my next couple of visits.

Well I wish I could leave it at 5 stars.. But the last order we had with them was just awful. We have given this place chance after chance and its only gotten worse. The service has gone downhill, the food isnt even edible. This place has turned into a shop full of teens who just want a paycheck. Its definitely not what my family fell in love with 2 years ago. You have lost a very loyal family from all the mistakes, burnt food, wrong orders, incompetence from employees, and total lack of customer service. Sad to say this isnt "our spot" any longer. Prior review: I was lucky enough to be introduced to this little joint 2 years ago when my husband(then bf) took me on a date here. I used to drive by it everyday and had no idea what amazingness I was missing out on!!! I absolutely love, love, love this place. The pizza, wings, garlic knots are mouth watering goodness. We eat here at least once maybe twice a week. In fact, right now I have leftovers from "our spot" In The fridge now..

The most addictive pizza Ive ever eaten. I have 3 pizza places I consider to be the best, and this one takes the number one spot. I end up eating here once a week because I crave their pizza all the time. The sauce is flavorful, the cheese is amazing, and the pepperoni is perfect. And their crust, oh my lord their crust! It has this wonderful garlicky butter sauce that is mouth-watering. Not to mention their ranch pairs perfectly with their pizza! Their big-ass slices are bar-none the best value for pizza you will find anywhere as well. The staff is super-sweet as well. Now heres that part that makes it five-stars. Ive been going to this place for a little under a year, and Ive never had a sub-par pizza from them. They are CONSISTENTLY amazing. No matter what time of the day or day of the week, the pizza never drops in quality! Thats an amazing feat for any restaurant. 10/10 would constantly recommend to anyone looking for great pizza.

Loved the games! Id say it was family friendly since the games were there except for the huge wording of "big ass pizza slice" on the window that my 9 year old son promptly noticed. Pizza was so so. Crust was thicker and tougher than I like and cheese was chewy. Food came out hot and fresh and they were ahead of schedule. Friendly service. Mostly self serve. Brightly lit inside with a nice simple outdoor patio with lights strung up. The outside front entrance wasnt quite as welcoming and if we hadnt already pre ordered on the phone probably would have left. It was just not well lit and surrounding businesses were all closed. Overall though it was an enjoyable evening there and they seem like good folks. Nice to watch them toss the pizza dough in the air through the window as well.

worst service ever called in an order manager said it will be ready in 10 min. so I go there he asked to pay for it then tells me it will be an additional 30 min , are you serious . why wouldnt you say that before you ask someone to pay for something that is not ready, so they said they will deliver it, 40 min later still not here call again they havent even put my order in yet cause the oven was full. these guys are the worst I have ever seen, I wouldnt not recommend this place to my worst enemy. stay clear youll be siting around for 2 housrs for 2 crappy slices and 10 wings, the only reason I got the soda on time is cause I got it done. HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!! LIE TO YOU TELL YOU YOUR FOOD DONE MAKE YOU PAY, THEN THEY COME UP WITH EXCUSES THEY DIDNT COME THRU ON THEIR END!!!

I normally find pizza-by-the-slice places trash. I think Ive found the exception. The slices, for one, are enormous. So big, in fact, that there was still a little bit left by the time I was done. One slice easily constitutes a full meal for pretty much everybody, and could reasonably feed two. Second, the slices are cheap, coming it at $4 per slice. Considering the size, thats a screaming deal. Lastly, and most importantly, the crust is fantastic. Its easily the best part of the pizza. Its soft and chewy with garlic butter on top and it is no joke one of the best crusts Ive ever eaten. Point is, the pizzas great and you should really make an effort to check the place out.

We just ordered the 2 large pizzas and garlic knots. The pizza was delivered hot and delicious. The cheese was delicious. The sauce wasnt sweet, actually taste like fresh tomatoes. The crust was crispy and brushed with garlic. Very reasonable prices. The only complaint I have is........ nothing!!! hope they offer pasta in the future. I should have ordered wings. The garlic knots were also delicious. Extra garlic butter and complimentary marinara. Cant beat that with a bat Jack. You have a customer for life. Very quick with delivery. Manager was also very professional. I will spread the word. Thanks again
