Jon h.Jon hoffman: Excellent pizza. Great for sitting down and sharing a whole pie or ordering a single slice from their to-go window.

Serious EatsSerious Eats: Their coal-fired slices are the missing link of pizza. The clear middle ground between the old world Neapolitan pies and the modern New York slice.

Nicole C.Nicole Christie: I can't even eat regular pizza anymore--Patsy's has spoiled me. The thin crust, the cheese, the sauce! So good you can eat a whole pie and not feel guilty. GO HERE! You will not regret it...

Lillian R.Lillian Rodriguez: Really great burger and their pies are delicious. Food is fresh and the staff are just amazing. Such sweethearts. Cute place in the hood which will soon become a neighborhood. Might as well embrace it

K A.K A: Blackened salmon complemented nicely with an even spicier, creamy and sweet slaw. I chose not to have the fries which admittedly look epic.

Hannah W.Hannah Warren: The deep dish French toast was different and delicious. Good coffee too, and everything was affordable. Awesome little neighborhood resto!
