Frequently asked questions
Is Totonno's still open?
Yes, but only on weekend afternoons. Confirm before making the trip because the schedule is fragile.
What should I order at Totonno's?
The plain margherita style pie. Toppings are beside the point here, the crust and mozzarella carry it.
What should I pair with a trip to Totonno's?
The Coney Island boardwalk, the Cyclone and the beach are a short walk away, which turns a weekend afternoon pizza stop into a full day out of Manhattan.
