“ Made me feel like a kid again. The pizza is definitely OLD SCHOOL NYC ”
“ At a glance this place is a hole in the wall, when you walk in it’s a super small place and the food looks good! I got two slices of plain pizza and it came out to $8.50 the size of the slices were a little smaller than expected for a $3 slice however the pizza is good! It’s 7.5/10 if they make the slices a little bigger and hit it with a little extra sauce it’s easily a 9/10 slice! I would definitely come back! ”
“ The food is DELICIOUS AND AHHMAYYYZING!!!! AMAZING!!!!(TO THOSE WHO WANT TO BE LITERAL AND GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT) IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO ENJOY PIZZA and other foods , welcome to Milano!!!!! Hola everyone! ”
“ Amazing Spot to grab a Slice of a Nice Sandwich . Fantastic customer service. ”
“ The Chicken Slice. This review is on my go-to slice at this location. Their chicken slice is like no other. It’s filling, tasty, crispy, and just enough of the tomato sauce and cheese proportion IMO. You can pick out the chicken and eat them as you go because it does make the slice a bit heavier so its good to take the pieces every other bite. Then the crust, oh my, its not super doughy, but it’s fluffy . Anyways, definitely a slice to try here is their chicken slice. The others are okay. Oh, this is a CASH ONLY location so make sure you have at least a $10 to eat well. There’s an ATM across 2nd avenue inside of 7 Eleven in case you don’t have any cash. ”
