Legacy Pizza's Italian sub offers a meat-lover's selection of ham, capicola, and salami plus provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and more.
As a pizza geek whose tastes have been formed (I will not say snobbified) from past years living in New York City’s Queens borough and many visits to Italy, I have a high standard for pizza. Allow me to assure you that the fine pie at Legacy Pizzeria & Bakery fully meets that standard. So did an excellent sub sandwich and a couple of tasty cannoli and homemade cookies.
