Pricey, Cash-Only, worth the wait. Order a pie,( or like I do: one Round pie, one square pie) and grab a cup a of coffee nearby so you don't have to stay in the crowd. Shortest wait times on wed/thurs afternoons. Can always try to call ahead for pickup (won't answer if too busy), dont plan to sit there but you might get lucky. If too hungry to wait 1-2 hours for the best pizza ever, go around the corner and get a sub, grinder, or hoagie from the other side of the kitchen.
