⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Denise Snyder
I town for a meeting ~ looked for pizza that wasn't a chain. Our pizza was wonderful. Had the ultimate cheese pizza and added sausage and mushroom. Server was very nice and pleasant. We will ride back when it warms out.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — luke
Had been planning to eat here for a while, and now I wish I hadn't waited so long. Ordered Cheese Sticks and Garlic Cheese Bread as appetizers and they came out looking like perfection. I couldn't even snap a photo, as they were devoured before the thought came. The marinara for the GCB was what you'd imagine the guys in the movie Goodfellas to drool over. I ordered a hamburger horseshoe as my main course. The burgers under the cheese and fries was cooked to perfection and even had a charred crust which was perfect. The straight fries were absolutely delicious and the cheese sauce was better than most that I have tried. The cheese was a beer cheese but you couldn't taste the beer, and there was a slight heat/spicy which was amazing. This was my first visit but it definitely will not be my last. Next time, due to the superb quality of the sauce, I am going to have to try the sourdough pizza.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — KeyMarie Prince
Staff was really nice and friendly. Decor was simple and comfortable We had to wait a while to place order because of how busy it was Pizza was my favorite Crispy thin, not too much pizza sauce, which I love very fresh ingredients. The chicken Alfredo was amazing. The chicken was juicy not dry. Just the right amount of cheese. most definitely will return

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Tony Sosa
I was there for a quick lunch. The waitress helped me to expedite my departure. I had the thin crust pizza which was very good. The table was not as clean as one might hope. Granted, I did show up at lunch time. I will be back.
