6. Mom’s Pizza RestaurantÂ
Mom’s has been serving New York-style pizza and gigantic calzones on red-checkered tablecloths for more than 50 years. Owner John Hosein — who sports a thin, upturned moustache like the pizza man of your dreams — has welcomed guests with a huge smile and a handshake for more than half of those five decades. Tiny booths and tables in the homey space make it impossible not to interact with your neighbors, and the all-you-can-eat specials are a deal.
