Editorial Reviews from the web

A convenient downtown option for a by-the-slice lunch or late-night munchies.

In Short This no-frills pizzeria on the busy intersection of Fifth and Congress provides one of downtown's best pizza-by-the-slice options. The Onion serves up zesty, traditional New York-style slices, and also counts wings, salads and cheese sticks among its most popular items. Sit or stand at a small, side counter in a bustling, postage-stamp-sized room. It's open late, making for a... more

I'm not a big pizza fan, but I loved this pizza! The sauce has a nice bite to it, and the crust is just the right thickness. A generous amount of cheese and other fresh toppings, nice crispy salad! I felt right at home, friendly folks. This is a regular stop for me when I'm in the area.

Pros

+ tops in quality, unique

Cons

- couple of more barstools

I'm a meat-lover kinda gal, and let me tell you, pizza rolls meat-lover style here is a can't-miss meal. And two easily fill me up. Order the rolls, go hang at your favorite food-welcoming dive, and you... more
