Customer Reviews

We decided to get our Friday night pizza somewhere we have never been. My bride said folks at her work liked the calzones. We ordered an extra large pizza with mushrooms, pepperoni, and 1/2 jalapeno. The staff was friendly and helpful. It took 10 to 15 minutes for the pizza to come out and was brought to the table hot. The crust was good, a little on the thinner side, not like a cracker. It was crispy but still soft. The pizza was well made. As we sat enjoying the older feel of the inside, lots of people came to take theirs to go. If you are in the area and wanting pizza, it is worth the stop.
