Expert notes

• It is recommended to arrive at this place around 3:30 pm and stand in line behind the velvet rope to get the seating timeslot. Get here as early as possible to eat early. The seating hostess/host comes at 4 pm to give the patrons the seating time slots on a first-come-first-served basis. The servers have the reputation of not being well-spoken but Pizza compels the people to keep coming back here. Order one extra pie/calzone to take out, your taste buds will thank you later. It is Jay-Z's favorite pizza place.
