Best brick oven pizza

Another reason I miss this neighborhood. The best brick oven pizza around. This place has amazing mini brick oven pizza that hits the spot like no other. Thin crispy crust, great homemade tomato sauce and specialized pizzas (my favorite four season "quattro stagione" and the four cheese "quattro formaggio") The soups are good in the winter as well. The service is friendly , family run style. The decor is mostly brick walls. More causal family than fancy decor. But definitely recommend and love coming back for the pizza and good house wine.

Best Pizza in the Bronx

Abosolutely the best slice you can get on Arthur Avenue - I feel like I discovered Giovanni's too late as a student at Fordham University - it was a nice, inexpensive date for my boyfriend and I for the last year we were there.

Some Hints:

  • If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
  • Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
  • Don't forget to read the user rating guidelines and rules.
