“ Great food great service. Awesome pizza!!! Only issue was (yes we're older) the music was so loud we couldn't hear each other's conversation and had to scream at each other. Still love the place ”
“ Will now be my go to place! We walked in to just order to go but the vibes felt right so we decided to eat there. Everyone is so friendly and inviting just like the place. We had the Margherita pizza and it was 1000% the best! Something about the sauce, it was different like nothing I’ve tasted before. Then we had a pistachio cannoli, and that one was probably my fav one than the regular cannoli. Definitely worth going, thank you everyone for the great food and service ”
“ The best tasting pizza I’ve ever had. Tony bologna was amazing. My friend ordered the 10 layer lasagna was yummy. The beer that I ordered was phenomenal. It was a cider mellow absolutely delicious. I will be back again and again and live that’s it’s local. ”
“ First time back after the 'other' pizza place. The service was great, the pizza and 10 layer lasagna were absolutely incredible with the ricotta and pepperoni. Will definitely be back! ”
“ It’s always interesting when you hear...it’s the best pizza ever. Well, this is for sure from a thin crust perspective! Lots of options for great pizza and it pairs well with one of the many draft beer options. Also wine and a full bar! The desert - cannolis, of course! Ambiance is ok, but it’s all about the “za”!

“ Wonderful place for a casual, friendly meal, especially if you like pizza! My husband and I came by after reading the reviews. This place is right down the street from our home, and we wanted to try it out. The restaurant/bar is bright and casual with a very friendly vibe. We met Tobey, the bartender, very cordial guy with great recommendations for beer and wine. The Pinot Noir was yummy!. We shared the burrata and tomato appetizer. The large tomatoes were sliced thinly with a nice chunk of burrata in the middle. Do not miss out on this plate. It was scrumptious! I also love pepperoni. The Nina pizza was loaded with it. The place gets busy fast, but it is definitely worth the wait. We will be going back often. ”
