First time ordering here, I was starving and was craving good authentic pizza. The pizza arrived quick, I paid $18 for a 6 slice pepperoni pizza. It was the worst pizza ever, we didn’t even eat it, we tore the crust off and ate that. The pizza was SO sloppy and wet, we ended up throwing it out. We also ordered 7 wings, those were good & crispy. I’m not sure how you mess up a pizza but I will never ever order here again, straight up dissatisfying and gross.
I’ve been chasing after the same experience many people claim to have coming here and I keep missing it. Pizza first time. It was ok, certainly not my first choice when ordering pizza in the Dena. Second time, Pene Primavera, I had high expectations and found it to be bland and disappointing- I thought maybe it was an off day. Tried for that awesome food and experience again tonight and who knows how it is, by the time I got home, my soggy bottom brown bag that was laying flat in my car prompted me to pull the dish out and that’s when I noticed the lid wasn’t closed all the way. My $12 dollar “fresh” garlic and butter pene pasta looked more like $12 cooked, dry pene noodles and now my car is dripping in butter. I threw a tip on my receipt before I left, Mainly because each time I’ve been there everyone seems to be miserable, not once have I been greeted in a nice or friendly manner. I’ve felt nothing but uncomfortable and as if I’m an annoyance for just picking up my food and saying thank you! I never post reviews that are bad, I do feel gypped and had I complained, I doubt anything would come of it based on the interactions I’ve had there. I was hoping for better. I think I struck out unfortunately.
Edit: the review below was left 8 years ago. At that time i left 4 stars. It is now 1 star. The chicken was bad. The pizza was ok...... the place was dirty.... the guys behind the counter are not friendly. It's a shame....it could be great.

The only NY style pizza I like better, and is 5 stars is Roccos in Glen Burnie. But if you are looking for an artisan pizza they have that, the atmosphere is nicer, they have a larger food selection. So I do occasionally eat here. Also the owner seems very nice, they have daily specials......so give it a try....you'll enjoy!
I love their pizza. Its always super good. Monday and Tuesdays are the best times to go since you get their pizza a bit cheaper. Best in Pasadena in my opinion.
First time trying this place. Last time trying this place. No idea why this place is rated so high.
Got pizza and knots from here today. Rather disappointed.
First of all, poor customer service. Young dude at the counter had two ear-pods in, mask half down his chin (mask mandate in effect again in AAco). Barely said two words to me and he and the other dudes were yelling to each other across the restaurant the entire time. Okay fine.
The pizzas they had on the counter for order-by-the-slice looked gross. Like sitting there all day gross. Pretty sure I picked my order up a little after noon.
Get home to this (see images). Pizza looked gross, like the cheese was melted but... looked like plastic. Didn't stay on the pizza at all just sloughed off immediately (poor sauce to cheese ratio). Dough is like rubber. Toppings portion was decent.
Good coverage on most slices.
Garlic knots are smothered in this GROSS "butter" sauce and again are rubbery. Dough is not as bad as the pizza crust rubbery, but still I don't know why it's like this. I say butter in quotes because it looks yellowish like butter, maybe kinda resembles the taste of butter, doesn't solidify like butter when cold, and just again tastes plastic/rubbery fake.
Portions are pretty good and the price is...okay....but considering how gross this place is. I really tried hard to find that second star for them here.
If you are looking for affordable ($9 pies on Monday and Tuesday), decent pizza for lunch or for a big together then go here. If you are looking for fantastic pizza to impress your friends, go to Mama Romas. Pizza was burned on bottom and every item was bland and there was no robust flavor to sauce or crust. Garlic rolls were ok...still lacking a softness and flavor. Very nice staff but due to reviews I was disappointed.
Hands down BEST NEW YORK PIZZA EVER!!
CLEAN PLACE
AWESOME TEAM
FAST SERVICE

First time we had it and it is legit pizza. Not gonna compare to NYC pizza but it is really good. We are going back. Thin crust, huge slices, quality ingredients. Also had the Italian sub with all the fixins and that was awesome. Again, quality.
