Often praised
- pizzaThe staff demonstrated excellent knowledge of the menu, which was very helpful. We sampled a variety of items, including pasta, a sandwich, pizza, and dessert, and found them all to be enjoyable.
- foodI've been coming here for over 8 years, and the experience has consistently been great. The staff is great, and the food is amazing. If you eat red meat, the Cesar steak salad is beyond compare, with tons of flavor on the steak.
- crustI enjoyed watching them roll out the dough in the front window. They serve a medium thickness crust with a traditional list of toppings. I highly recommend this place.
- pastaIt was fresh and ready in about 15 minutes. This place is my new go-to for pizza, and I'm definitely coming back for the pasta! The crust was on point, the sauce was flavourful, and the cheese/cook really made it all that much better.
- ingredientsIt was absolutely a masterpiece. The crust was light and airy, just enough toasted on the bottom, with fresh ingredients. It was like straight from Italy.
- pasta dishesI've been coming here since I was a child and have always enjoyed the tasty pizza and pasta dishes. I can't wait for them to reopen for dining in.
- pizzasI think the pizzas are definitely worth trying
- FoodFood:5
- Italian foodhomemade, simple, REALLY good Italian food
- PizzaThe Pizza hasn't changed. Still tastes great.
Frequently criticized
- pizzaI ordered a medium pizza with thin crust, but what I received was the worst pizza I have ever tried. The pizza was soft and uncooked from the middle, making it impossible to eat. I ended up throwing it in the garbage.
- crustCrust is dry and crunchy without much taste.
- cheeseHowever, a subsequent visit resulted in a wrong order and a pizza that was nothing like the first time. While the young woman who assisted was very nice and corrected the mistake made by another lady, the cheese was like rubber, the ham was questionable on freshness, and the crust was flavorless. It's possible we were just lucky the first time or unlucky the second, but we will be trying other places now.
- doughthe dough was a bit hard
- Italian qualityknock off Italian quality
- Stomach DiarrhealI got a serious case of Stomach Diarrheal
- Sunset Specialespecially disappointing because it’s their special
- amount of pizzaThe pizza I got today was so bad I'll be throwing it away for some frozen pizza. This was the amount of pizza for $38.
- bottom of the pizzathe bottom of the pizza was drenched in oil
- cold fooddelivers cold food
Overall, the food here offers a generally good experience, especially for pizza and pasta lovers. While many rave about the quality, be aware that some diners have reported inconsistencies. It's worth a try for their standout dishes.

- staffI recently ordered two XL pizzas, and both were completely burned on the bottom when I got home. When I called to request a refund or a new pizza, I was yelled at by a rude lady who was in charge of the shift. She suggested it was my fault for not letting the staff know earlier that the pizzas were uneatable.

- ambiancewouldnt come for the ambiance per se

Amazing Food and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely fantastic! I heard the regular menu only has pizza, but I highly recommend asking for all the other dishes. You really have to go and experience it yourself – I can't rave about it enough.
I hardly write reviews, but I felt compelled to write this one! The pizza is also amazing. Joe, the staff member, is the best – keep him there forever.

Terrible Service Ruined Delivery Experience
My experience was extremely negative due to a missing item from my DoorDash order and the subsequent customer service interaction. When I called to resolve the issue, the representative was extremely rude, accused me of lying, refused to help, yelled at me, and then hung up the phone. More than the missing item, it was the terrible service that ruined our night.
