I've been going to Charlie's pizza since I was born and can still claim them to be one of my favorite pizzas. With 5 you can get a lot more food than you would downtown. Definitely check them out if you're hungry or just want a good slice of pizza.

The last of its kind. The king of pizza in Wahi. Big slice of love. Great & kind owner Mr. Charlie, soft spoken and his staff are all hard working and friendly. Always buy a slice or 3 and some garlic knots. Has many Italian foods also.

Outstanding pizza . Very good taste with unique flavor. Definitely best spot for the slice in Washington Heights . Friendly people who work there. Extra large pizza cost there 10. It’s definitely good price. Delivery is available and is pretty good and fast. If you want to stay for a slice there are few tables available. Place is small but very convenient. Always recommended. Bon appetite .

This is a great place to dine in, However there are only a few seats so you might mostly order a take out, I recommend getting a pepperoni pizza Brisk Iced tea but that's just me. It is overall a great place to eat if you want to chat, Eat lunch, or just relax.
