I visited to get an empanada, but I couldn’t resist their awesome looking pizza slice. Good service, price, and amazing food. But it’s a pretty small place even though there are some more places to sit outside, so better to pick up and have it somewhere else. Best pizza place in campus definitely!

I’ve had a lot of NY style pizza and this was one of the best ever!! Perfect blend of cheese, crust, sauce and seasoning! The empanadas were pretty good too.

Well made thin crust, New York style pizzas. This is more of a guilty pleasure as the price is a little high for what I feel comfortable paying for a pizza, but it’s worth it for how delicious they come out. They have a wide variety of toppings to choose from (almost too many), so there’s sure to be something you’ll enjoy. You can order online and even choose to split each half with different toppings. I recommend trying the Manolo’s Mushroom and Spotted Goat. Parking can be difficult as it is located downtown.

Delicious crust and excellent choices in their daily slices. I love their potato and red pesto slice especially! Their curry vegetable slice is on my list to try. And I often buy an order of their breadsticks, which are always cooked to order, and am obsessed with them! The service is fantastic too! They’re patient and quick no matter how many or how few people are in the shop.

My favorite pizza in town! They do the NYC style pizza so well! The pizza is so crispy, cheesy, and flavorful! Empanadas are great too! Recommend if you’re looking for something quick and tasty on the go.

Ordered a gluten free pizza with caramelized onions, goat cheese and mushrooms. It was delicious. Nice chewy crust without it being too thick. Will definitely get it again.

This is probably the best pizza in the world, if you have not had a real pizza before then you have to try this! Best kept secret in CU!

Such a cute, cozy place with a view of the beautiful Krannert Center. They also have tables outside. My favorites are the spotted goat pizza and the mushroom manicotti empanada. The staff is cool and it’s a fun place to hang with friends and grab some great quality food for a good price.

Best pizza I’ve had since moving to the area. Great crust and cheese to sauce ratio. This is definitely my new go to joint.

Great hole-in-the-wall pizza by the slice. Good thin-crust pizza is hard to come by. Fast service, friendly people behind the counter. Truly a gem in the CU eating scene.
