The thick crust and the spicy pizza sauce make the pizza delicious!

Great wine list . Order two completely different pizzas and enjoy. Leftovers are a next day treat. Garlic chicken Alfredo is awesome 5 star pizza in a tee shirt .

Bread and pizza were undercooked, bread was actually raw in the middle. Clam pizza had a good taste though :)

Ray D.

Delicious pasta and reasonable prices are the order of the day here! :-)

Dave Sawyer

Wait times can get ridiculous and be prepared to watch people that arrived after you get in before you (i.e., group of 3 over a group of 2), based on table capacity.

Dfw Dean

Order pizza by the slice, a beer , and leave room for Gelato

Nick Archer

For an appetizer , nothing beats their breadstick ...or the "rope" as I call it. You'll know what I mean when you order it!

Bread that came with pasta was burnt to a crisp. Pasta was burned too. Pizza wasn't anything special either, but man was that cheese bread good.
