“ For about a 30 minute wait, and $2.25 cash you can take a time machine ride back 75 years in time. This is an experience, more than a slice. Arancini are really good too. Great guys, making an honest living and giving us a slice of nostalgia and pizza. ”
“ The prices here are excellent for the quality of food that you receive. The rice balls are incredibly filling for only about $4.50 a piece. Overall, definitely must visit for authentic and inexpensive Italian food. ”
“ My sister brought me here today! First time trying heard so much about this spot it's legendary I got the classic Sicilian pizza and got Salami and ham and ricotta cheese calzone and the Spinach and cheese calzone. The pizza was so so good the cheese and the sauce and the crust was crispy and delicious! Next I tried the spinach and cheese calzone the spinach was moist and seasoned well the bread was golden brown on the outside and moist in the middle cooked perfectly so scrumptious and delicious! Staff and customers Service is friendly and welcoming when being served. ”
“ Waited in line a good 15-20 min for two Sicilian slices. Thankfully it was worth it. Cheesy & delicious with good sauce. A great lunch for less than $20. ”
“ This pizza was so good! Definitely lives up to the hype. The only critique of the pizza is that I think the sauce needs a little more seasoning. Also, I am pretty sure they only have cheese pizza. Be aware, Galleria Umberto only makes so much pizza each day, so they may run out before their official closing time and close early. So make sure that you're there with plenty of time to spare. The whole time I was there, there was a long line to order. The restaurant is clean and buzzing with people. It's a great stop for lunch! ”
