Pan pies with an honest amount of oregano, slices till 1 AM, and a gyro that has no business being this good in a pizza shop.
Thick, crisp-bottomed pan pies the way our mother's cousin made them outside Thessaloniki — plus the round NY slice, because we live in Queens.
When we took the space on 30th Avenue in 2022 it had been a phone repair shop. The first thing that came through the door was a used deck oven from a place in Bay Ridge that was closing. We ate off paper plates standing up for the first two months.
The dough is cold-fermented 48 hours, which is the only thing we are precious about. Everything else is negotiable — ask and we'll probably do it.
We get asked every day. Half the pizza shops in this city were opened by Greek families — our father ran one in Bay Ridge for nineteen years, and his father ran a diner before that. Pizza is a Greek-American family business as much as an Italian one.
So the pies are pan-style and heavy on the oregano, the salad is a real horiatiki with no lettuce in it, and there's a gyro cone next to the pizza oven. Nobody in Astoria has ever found this confusing.
Counter service. Ten stools, two tables, one very hot oven.
