“ Stopped in to meet up with an old friend for lunch and found the parking really tight but found a spot. My friend already had a seat for us and I went in and liked the old school vibe inside. Our waitress came over was very pleasant and took our orders. I ordered a sausage and pepperoni pizza as my friend had been telling me for years that the pizza was the best in the world. If you like thin crust this is the place for you. Unfortunately it's not my thing and the crust was like a dry cracker to me. The sauce cheese and toppings were nice and it tasted good but it just wasn't for me. I would like to return and try something different as the menu had a lot of meals I would like. ”
“ My favorite place for pizza !! Also enjoy for lunch or diner. The have some nice lunch specials . Reasonable delicious Italian food. Service is always good. Rustic interior . ”
“ This is an old school, no frills type of joint with a retro charm. CASH ONLY. The house made meatballs and the chicken parm sandwich were both excellent and affordably priced which is so hard to say these days. Honestly, it's not even something I normally go for, but now I'm already thinking about when I'll get another chance to have their chicken parm sandwich! Fair warning though, it's very saucy and HUGE! ”
“ 9,443 miles away, wishing i could dive into a classic linguica pizza. Had my share during my recent 5-month stay in the city. NOBODY in the world makes better thin crust pizza than Pa Raffas! Looking forward to my next visit, hopefully later in the year, once I touch down...Pa Raffas is my first stop, then a bottle of red to compliment. My tradition for the last 45 years whenever I visit New B. For now, I can only perservere and reminisce through great memories and a few pictures. For those in the area, you are truly blessed! ”
“ Lovely, cozy local restaurant! Delicious food with big quantities! A staple of the community! ”
