The Scene
The wacky decor of this pizza and cocktail parlor is a Technicolor trip. Hologram-topped tables make rainbow ripples in booths fashioned from exercise-machine rollers, while furry purple and red banquettes cradle the chic set in the mirrored rear lounge. Black lights give an electric glow to the ceiling's colorful ring pattern and to the wife-beaters worn by the pretty waitstaff, who float by like fireflies dispensing hot and cold service.
The Food
The American-Italian menu reaches a harmonious balance between diner-style and gourmet fare, befitting its 20-something crowd. The crispy chicken Milanese sandwich, deep-fried just enough, drips creamy garlic sauce from a doughy ciabatta roll. Namesake high-style pizza, cut in a unique zigzag, boasts a buttery-soft thin crust. Skip the standard pepperoni for light and sauce-less mushroom mascarpone with white truffle oil. But have your marinara, too, as a dip to crisp mozzarella sticks lightly stuffed with proscuitto.

The place feels like it's run by people who have never worked at a bar before. The bartender didn't know how to make a Stoli and 7up! The servers were rude, inexperienced and slow, and the music was horrible (an ipod on random from a person with no taste in music). There are too many great places to go to in this neighborhood to waste your time at this place!

A funky place with a decent vibe, but the food left much to be desired. The pesto fries were good, but drenched in garlic and the pizzas were just average. Our waitress was clueless and we practically had to tackle her to get the check. Maybe it's better as a late night food place when you're too buzzed to notice what the food actually tastes like : )
