(“best pizza in America” says Bon Appetit) This is a process. Pick up a six pack to share with other people in line, wait for a while, pick your pizza(s), get a time to return, go to frankford ave, have a few more drinks to build an appetite, return at the appointed time and your pizza will be ready. Eat it on the spot!
