We live locally and the Corner PIAZZA is that true Hole in the Wall spot to satisfy your pizza desires during the warm season, as its seasonal - open air style. One waits all Winter for Lou to open that part back up. The Corner also has a year round clean and great place to grab a quick bite to eat. We started going to the Corner PIAZZA immediately after the true brick wood-fired oven was finished being hand built by brothers Lou & Frank. I remember driving by many times seeing them laboring with bricks & mortar to build this oven from the ground up. I also watched them tailor this outdoor spot over a few years after opening, making it functional for larger crowds and cooler weather or even rain after the metal roof came to completion. The pizza that emerges from the oven is custom fresh gourmet. Instead of being overbearing with tomato sauce, salty, and oozing with oil, it pleasantly wakes up the taste buds with each bite, giving them the forgotten joy of identifying each ingredient before having to reluctantly swallow. Lou creates your pie personally, using many fresh ingredients right from his own garden. Sitting outdoors on the patio, they artfully constructed as well, makes it the perfect atmosphere vs being cooped up inside some hot pizzeria. In speaking with Lou this evening, its been 7 years since he started crafting his pies. I was shocked how the quickly the years flew. Its a pleasure to see how he grew this word of mouth business over these years. Anytime we go there, we see at least one couple or group of people that make the trek from far away to satisfy their PIAZZA craving. Im originally from New Haven, Ct, so I grew up on Pepes renowned pizza and was friends with the son of Sallys Pizza owners a few doors down from Pepes. For many, many years, they have both been visited by Food Critics and written up over and over in food magazines of the past and now social media. During the summer, they both have lines stretching down the block with a wait of two hours to get inside to eat their famous thin crust wood-fired brick oven pies. The Corner PIAZZA pizza is not like the above two legendary marvels, but one cannot compare. Lou makes a different type of a dough which has a virgin fresh flavor. I categorize this to be in the class of a gourmet pizza that you get at boutique pizza restaurants. If you want an ordinary pizza, or heavens forbid a pizza like poor souls buy from those chains I wont even mention, then youre going to be disappointed. If you want something with a special flair for a change of pace, then make the trip here to try this pie. As somewhat of a pizza afficionado, Im telling you that youll be surprised. Actually, be prepared, because I can almost gurantee youll be hooked like the others who make long trips here just for this truly unique style of gourmet wood-fired brick oven pizza. You better try it before everyone else eventually finds out about it and lines start forming down the road. Maybe well see you there. Enjoy!

The Corner is such a pleasant place. They have good food and a nice selection of ice cream and a very friendly staff.The Corner also has a wonderful outdoor piazza that makes very good, freshly made pizza that they prepare in a wood burning brick oven they brought over from Italy. Amazing selection of toppings. The piazza has comfortable seating and excellent service. Not to be missed.
