Well-loved NY-style slices and standout wings; dine-in or pickup shines while third-party delivery can disappoint.
Tommie's Pizza earns its A- grade through exceptional food quality—crisp, foldable NY-style crust with herb-forward sauce that inspires repeat visits and long-distance trips—paired with genuinely friendly service and fair pricing. Solid consistency across visits reinforces its standing as a neighborhood favorite, though tight seating and occasional delivery delays prevent it from reaching grade A territory.
Tommie’s feels like a neighborhood slice shop where the vibe is warm and welcoming. People rave about the crisp fold and herb-forward sauce, and one fan said it was "better than most pies in the state." Service reads genuinely friendly with the owner often chatting about crust. Space is tight, but the window seats offer prime people-watching on Selby. The cooking leans classic New York more than flashy, with a crisp, foldable crust and balanced toppings when fresh. Specialty pies like Buffalo Chicken and the local-favorite Selby wings pull many repeat visits. If you are a strict NYC purist, you may nitpick the sauce or pepperoni style, but most diners find the flavors comforting and dialed-in. For families, this is an easy win: cheese and pepperoni pizzas, mild wings, and desserts like brownies or cheesecake. There is no kids menu, but the straightforward pies and slices work for young eaters. Seating is limited, so consider takeaway or arriving off-peak; prices are friendly for groups compared to many artisan spots.
