- orderIt felt more like a bar that happens to serve pizza. To start, they got my order wrong. Secondly, the pizza slices seemed to have pre-baked bread with toppings simply thrown on and then baked for a short time.
- servicethe person working there was rude
- attitudeFinally got our order 620 with a bad attitude
- cashierAll I asked for was NO ONIONS on my turkey sandwich. I don't know if it was the unpleasant cashier or the cook who fouled up the sandwich, but that will be the last time I leave a tip! I got back to my room with a surprise of ONIONS in my turkey sandwich, which ruined the whole night.

If you're looking for quick and friendly service, you might just find it here, especially if you need a custom order. However, be prepared for the possibility of longer waits or order mix-ups, as the service can be a bit inconsistent.

Rude Service, Great Food
My experience at this restaurant was challenging due to the service. I had to call 5 times before someone answered, and the person who finally did was rude. This rudeness continued when I arrived to pick up my order; the person at the counter was also rude.
Despite the poor service, the food was excellent, earning a perfect score.

Delicious and accommodating vegan pizza!
This place is a gem! We were especially impressed with how well the pizza was topped. It felt like it was made with nutrition and satiety in mind, not just decorated.
We were absolutely stuffed and so pleased with how flavourful it was. The staff was completely happy to modify a pizza from the menu or just completely customize one. The staff was warm and inviting.
Hats off!

Fresh, Tasty Pizza with Excellent Service
My experience at this restaurant was very positive. We ordered a slice of cheese pizza and a vegetarian pizza. What impressed me most was that even the slices were made fresh, not from pre-made pizza.
The service was excellent, and the pizza was very tasty. They also offer a lot of choices on pizzas.

Onions Ruined My Turkey Sandwich
I was visiting friends out of town and looking for a good establishment for a pizza and turkey sandwich. Unfortunately, they couldn't even get a simple order right. All I asked for was NO ONIONS on my turkey sandwich.
I don't know if it was the unpleasant cashier or the cook who fouled up the sandwich, but that will be the last time I leave a tip! I got back to my room with a surprise of ONIONS in my turkey sandwich, which ruined the whole night. They did call and offer to replace the sandwich, but do I trust that?
Forget it, I trashed the sandwich. Never a next time. Always check your order.
