Their pizza's are freaking huge! Only other place was Fordham and the Concourse. I used to go visit the old italian guy that own a shop near the Square. Riding from 184th and the Concourse that was in 1988-89.

I went to the pizza shop by Weschester Sq recently (Sept 06) same pizza same price for 20 yrs!


S/F,
CEYA!

Yeah, that old guy no longer is there. The last time I heard his son took it over with some asian guy. That shop was what started the love affair with exotic Italian frames, track frames and road frames. That shop was so old school it was straight off the boat from the old country. I can still remember the beautiful frames he had in there. That place was like having an oasis in the middle of the desert.

I was born and raised in the Bronx... left after 48 years.

There is no Pizza like Bronx Pizza.

This past summer I ran into the old man who had the Pizza Shop where I grew up, in the shop at the neighborhood I last lived in.

He actually remembered me.

I heard him telling his friend, the shop owner where I was eating at, that I use to buy pizza from his shop when I was a piccolino. I am not Italian but I knew what he was saying.

I make my own pizza at home using organic ingredients and soy cheeses.

The last Pizza I had that reminded me of the old days was over a year ago in a shop off of 57th st and 2nd ave.(or 1st ave). Excellent.

Sorry for going off topic. Just made me a little homesick, but not for NYC, just the experiences.

You guys ever hit up the little pizza spot on one of those sneaky dead blocks near Fordham U? Large pie and a pitcher of beer for less than $20 and they clang a gong when your pizza is ready. I ride up there some summer nights from Astoria just to hit that place up.

Pugsley's Pizza. The owner is named Sal and he is a legend at Fordham U. One of the specials up there, the Sheila Special, is named after a friend of mine. I go there a lot in the winter b/c I go to Fordham hoops games.

monsterkidz, a ride there from Queens in the summer sounds awesome though. I'd be up for that at some point.

monsterkidz

I'm down. Just keep me posted. Are you in Astoria too?

acavengo

Nope. I am out in Forest Hills, right across the highway from Flushing Meadow Lake, but I have to cut through Astoria to get to the Triboro.

I'm new to the forum. I noticed the last post here is from 2007. So whos still in the Bronx or new since then? A fixed gear bike in this borough seems to be a rare finding.

Possibly looking for some bronx peeps on fixed gear bikes to ride with. I commute to manhattan 3 to 4 days a week and sometimes go on night rides to City Island.

na975

i spot atleast 2 fixed gear riders daily.

BronxFixieRider

where do you ride na? I'm coming from Parkchester and take Boston rd to 3rd ave to get to work. I guess I don't do enough hanging in the Bx to see any.

na975

maybe i saw you ride around unionport Rd. ,do you have a conversion with a white colored riser bar?

BronxFixieRider

I do live on Unionport Rd above Keyfood but I have a black schwinn sprint with white tires.
