Hubby and I were in town for the rock and gem show.
We walked past and heard music but the open sign wasn't illuminated.
We hesitated for a moment but I decided to just try the door and it was open! On first impressions it looks a bit run down from the front but it also gave an authentic New York style pizza joint.
I'm so glad we tried it! The crust was crispy and buttery.
The sauce was flavourful and it was cooked to perfection.
Don't sleep on this hidden gem! 💎 Thank you for the friendly and prompt service.

Thank you for your amazing review.
We are glad you took a chance on us!

Not my type of atmosphere, too crowded and noisy.
But the pizza here is superb and the customer service is absolutely fantastic! I came for some takeout today and ordered an elote and cheese pizza.
After I got my order, and right before leaving, one of the customer service reps came by and without prompting, gave me an extra cheese slice because the other was a little burnt.
Had no idea that it was burnt, but I really appreciated the attention to detail and quality.

2nd time getting the Elote and decided to try it with the tandoori (?) chicken collab with Saffron. It is Hands.
Down.
The.
Most.
Brilliant flavor combination I've ever had on a pizza.
I called back to rave about it and was told that the owner is currently considering making it a permanent menu item, but it's not guaranteed. I advise everyone tries it while they still can, and if you feel the same way I do then rave to the staff and maybe we can convince them to make it a fixture. Life is fleeting.
This pizza should not be.

Hi Brandon, Thank you for the wonderful review and feedback.
Our staff was really excited about your call and we are forwarding your review to our Saffron friends! We are getting such good feedback we want to keep it permanently (if Saffron is good with it). We agree with you - it is one of the best tasting (and best looking) pizza toppings we have ever tried - we will never go back to regular chicken again!
