They still make great pizza. The boss insists on keeping the same recipe used throughout the years no matter who he hires to make it. It closes when the Village winds down, between 4 and 5 AM on weekends.

Ask for a slice of Sicilian (square pizza) hot and crispy and well-done. Also, ask for a vegetable calzone with spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, olives, onions, peppers, sauce and cheese - you had better believe it's worth it! But beware, the counter-men these days aren't very intelligent or motivated, so take a pen and paper, write down exactly what you want, and then they can handle it.
