My family and I stopped here while driving from NYC to Stockbridge, MA, just did a Google Map search for restaurants and saw this got five stars and was just off the Parkway. When we parked, we thought we had made a mistake. This place is nothing to look at from the outside. Its small, and you go through what looks like a back door to get in. Once in, they have a large array of pizzas by the slice to choose from, and all are quite excellent. They also have pastas, subs and usual Italian fare. We only ordered the pizza by the slice, so that is all I can comment on. The slices are quite large, more than enough to fill up the typical person. And, you can get quite the array of toppings. The normal slice is very thin and not crispy (just how I like it), but they also have Sicilian options. When you order the slices, they warm them up in the oven and you can have a seat in their dining room, they will bring it out to you. Their dinning room is small, but nice painted walls to make it look like if you are in an Italian street. You wont forget where you are, but it helps give the restaurant a nicer atmosphere. We ordered four slices of pizza for the four of us, my kids split a cheese pizza, my wife got Sicilian and I got a chicken Parmesan. My wife and I made the mistake of eating the cheese pizza first, it was pipping hot and extremely tasty, one of the best weve had (I stay prefer Italias Corner Cafe just south of Baltimore). We then ate our other slices unfortunately, they were only lukewarm at that point, as the extra toppings on mine and thickness on hers made them not as hot to begin with. The chicken parm pizza was ridiculously packed with chicken, in a good way. I was stuffed and couldnt even finish it, but it tasted like a great piece of chicken parm! We liked it so much, on our way home from Canada a few weeks later, we decided to go this way just to stop for pizza. Now, our original plan was to order a whole pizza so it would be pipping hot, but we were running late. So, we ordered slices again. Unfortunately we had the same issue with it not quite being hot enough (I will add that both my wife and I love our pizza extremely hot). This is the only reason I gave it four and not five stars, had I asked them to make it extra hot, Im sure Id be giving it five stars. But know, this is worth the stop, worth even a detour to stop here. Its the best pizza north the Mason-Dixon Line! Just remember, if you like your pizza super hot, ask for it super hot!

This little gem off the Taconic State Parkway falls somewhere between a small pizzeria and a formal Italian restaurant. The first thing my wife and I noticed when we pulled into the rather small parking lot out front, was a constant flow of people walking out carrying pizza boxes. That in itself is very reassuring. The dining room is a bit small but the service is outstanding. Believe it or not, my wife and I had pizza for an appetizer and it was really awesome. For entrees, I had the veal marsala and it cut with a fork. My wife had the chicken parmegan and the sauce wasnt sweet at all. Dessert and espresso and we were all set. Prices are very reasonable. Will definitely return. Recommended.

Unassuming Italian pizza place and restaurant. Dont be deterred by the small parking area or thought that its just a pizza joint....no, no...it is much more. Food was on point. Service was attentive. Definitely coming again.

I LOVE this place. The owners create an atmosphere that feels like youre home in their kitchen having dinner. The food is FANTASTIC. Have the Portabella appetizer and the Eggplant Rollatini. Family run and certainty feels so.

There is something to say about the way this tight family run business makes you feel so welcomed every time your there. And then the food is obviously phenomenal so there is that. Its a great place to eat at all around!

Not only is the food exceptional, the service is on point and the owner Rocky is a great guy. Highly recommend this little slice of heaven. Not just for the pizza either, their dinner entrees are off the charts.
