Ordered a large pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, garlic, and onion and it was delicious! Im originally from up north and typically have to order extra sauce, but you dont have to do that with John the Baker! Perfect amount of toppings and done just right! The closest you will get to authentic NY style pizza in South Florida!

Clams and Spaghetti was delicious.
Fresh open clams in a wonderful sauce. Just as pictured. Pizza was half cheese and half lump Italian sausage and fresh mushrooms. Took years to find this restaurant and I am blessed.

Best garlic knots in town. Freshly baked, huge portions, packed with flavor. Will always order from here.

Very disappointed. The Eggplant Rollatini tasted out of date and I had to trash it. The "small" cannoli was literallyhalf a bite for $3!! Usually the food is good from here so im not sure what changed
