Well I read some reviews about this pizza place and figured that since I enjoy pizza (often working in Manhattan, and living in the Phila. area) that it must be decent. However I was very disappointed. The sauce and crust were to sweet. I visit pizza restaurants when and where ever I travel and I would pass on this establishment. If you do travel to Manhattan try Lombardi's (I think that is the name) Spring and Mott or there abouts! Take cash and a large appetite.
