What people say, in short
Retro Pizza draws steady praise for its slices, with a diner calling the dough and crust excellent and noting a slice holds its shape when picked up. The Sicilian gets particular attention, including a hot honey pepperoni cup version, and one diner prefers it to the round pie. A vodka sauce slice is another favorite, and a vodka grandma slice is singled out as a standout specialty slice. Views are not unanimous: one diner finds the regular slices mediocre while praising the Sicilians, one says the pizza is awful, another calls it a letdown, and a third says anyone praising it has bad taste.
