    Mashed. Potato. Bacon. Scallion. Photography is unworthy of this flavor.

    I was loyal to the Gorham Otto’s but it’s been closed now for months - these folks on Read Street consistently take an extra 5-10 mins to make my pie but it’s pretty decent quality and consistently better than any of the other guys who have chains in the area. Price is creeping up but it’s fair given the market

    Loved the energy watching the staff in the open kitchen preparing orders, EVERYONE, at somepoint was smiling. It was clearly a stressful, busy work environment and it never showed thru their demeanor. Excellent customer service 👏

    Wow. What a low class establishment. I walked in to pick up my order which wasn’t ready at the time stated. No problem. While I was waiting, a young kid came in to ask for a job, the old female working there sent him to the website and then proceeded to rip him apart with her staff after he left. Then they turned around to say I (Benjamin) was there to pickup and proceeded to mock the notes on my pizza order, asking for a crispy pizza not burnt. I only ask this because in NYC I have 7 pizzerias, and crispy, well done, etc. means different things to different people cooking. Occasionally a crispy note will get you a well done pizza. I don’t know how careless or just ill mannered you have to be to mock someone 6 feet away from you when you know that they’re there, but the fact that this happened was insane. And the fact that it seemed to be the senior most and oldest man and women managing the venue leading this assail of low-class, bad character was wild. I don’t care if this pizza is the best I’ve ever had, they should be ashamed to identify as a hospitality establishment, since there is clearly no hospitality to be found here. Shameful display.
