Great pizza and a real ‘New York’ atmosphere. Try the Italian Buffalo Bread — a great appetizer. The staff are very friendly and the ice cream shop next store is great for desert.

Went on a tuesday night, pizza buffet night! Was really good, very busy! We had a radio coupon so was worth the wait for the booth and the fight past the teenagers: D only complaint I have is that they didn’t have any more bread sticks out by the time we left, and the bread sticks were realllly good! :)

This has always been my favorite pizza place. But with my decision to go gluten free, pizza has been on the bad list. Want to give kudos to these folks for offering a gluten free pizza crust, thou it needs a little work on the crust. You just can’t beat these folks sauce and topping.

Way too oily! I shouldn’t be able to soak up five napkins with oil before I can eat!

This place is great. I love a pizza slice lunch special with a salad. I want to go again to try more stuff. So far, I’m a fan.

Stopped in for takeout since we had to wait at the DMV. We ordered the garlic bread with cheese and marinara, a calzone and a plain Slice. Being from NJ we were expecting bland food but it was was not. It was GREAT!

This place blows garbage boriello brothers out of the water! I’m not from NYC but I am from New York, and I know good pizza when I see it. This is as good as it gets in the Springs!

Really good cheese pizza. If I lived here I would totally be a regular. The crust is very tasty and the sauce has just enough saltiness. I would recommend this place to all my friends

Three stars for me on pizza means your doing alright. First off the slices were good but I would not say East Coast good. Way better than any chain. While the crust wasn’t anything to write home about it was cooked perfect with a little char. I mention this because most pizza places here under cook their pies on my opinion. I think I will ask for a thinner crust with less cheese the next time.

This restaurant is the size of a diner without a lot of seating. They have a daily special of a large slice of pizza and a garden salad, which comes with a dinner roll. I would choose that if I were to go there again. The Grinder Sandwich is flavorful. It is an Italian Sausage patty which comes with a side of Marinara sauce and potato chips. The Roasted Chicken Salad was okay but not impressive. The waitstaff is nice. You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table.

Quality lunch stop for the slice combo. And a deal that can’t be beat.

Good solid pizza. We would definitely eat here again. Ordered a large double pep to go with a side of ranch. Good flavor and of course with extra pep it was greasy but good!

I was born and raised in NYC. I left at 21 years old in 2005. I’ve missed it everyday since. Especially that NY pizza, unlike anything you’ll ever have anywhere else in the world!
Well I’ve lived in a handful of different U.S. cities and for the first time in 10 years, I’ve found the closest match up.
Today had to be one of my happiest days ever. This pizza is legitimate! Crispy, but foldable (like NYC slices are supposed to be eaten), just the right amount of sauce and cheese, thin and just amazing.
Try it! Everyone, try it!
P. S. Oh and those who say it’s no up to par with NY pizza, the truth is, nothing ever will be, so you can’t really criticize on that level. As a New Yorker, there’s some pretty crappy pizza places in NY too. So if you leave NY, do not expect duplication anywhere else except for maybe Jersey. But do expect people to try to make it as close as possible and your pizza home away from home. This place is it!

The food here is always amazing, but this last weekend has definitely put me off for a long time, I think they may need to improve their staff. I called in a pizza, medium with no peppers and salads. I got a large pizza, was CHARGED for a large pizza, and their sunday special is supposed to be $ 2 off, which i did not recieve. When i tried to question the high price i was brushed off, im assuming because there were a couple people behind me in line and i was just a pick up order. I did not recieve a receipt, and got home to find a pizza piled high with peppers.
Plus one of the salad dressing cups wasnt closed all the way, and slow leaked all over my car. So an hour of seat scrubbing and almost $ 10 I shouldnt have had to spend later, I think its going to be a while before I go back

Nice little pizza joint. You walk in and order at the counter and give you a number so they can take the food to your table. I enjoy sitting on the front room where it’s busier and livelier.
We go here occasionally for lunch and it never disappoints us. The salads are fresh and delicious every time. The pizza are always hot, plenty of toppings and delicious all around. The prices are good and staff is almost always polite.
This place also offers gluten free pizza! And it is very tasty.
I would recommend this place to anyone looking for some good pizza, lunch or dinner.

ATTENTION: This is NOT authentic NY style pizza.
Sorry, but it’s not. The dough is not stretched thin enough. There is no chew to the crust. They also cook it on a grate which gives the bottom a strange texture. Way too much cheese and super skimpy on some of the toppings.
That being said… it’s 8:30 pm… just got home… starving… and BF walks in behind with a pie from here. Did a slice hit the spot… yes.
Is this a destination place worth driving out of your way for a killer NY pie… NO!

So happy we tried this place, it really impressed me. The daily special is served all day everyday for $ 6.69. You get a nice starter salad with fresh ranch (thin) and any two toppings you want and a drink. There were red and green bell peppers on mine. The garlic cheese bread is fresh like everything is here and the marinara is above average. Nothing let me down here. The food, freshness, price, and atmosphere will bring me back, love it!
Not that great: Boneless buffalo wings

Leon Gessi’s is my favorite local pizza joint in The Springs, the pizza is crispy hot and directly from the oven. The place is smaller in the front with booth style seats but, with plenty of additional room in the back. I have been we few times with friends and family and always had a good slice!
The have draft beers as well which in itself is awesome to have. I’d recommend a two slice with cheese and a cold beer!
