Frequently criticized
- pizzaalmost half empty for a large size pizza with *extra* ingredients
- cheeseI specifically requested the pizza be well-done, but what I received was a sloppy mess. As soon as I picked it up, all the cheese and toppings fell off, which is a clear indication of cheap ingredients, cheap cheese, cheap dough, and poor cooking. I strongly advise you to steer clear of this place; you might as well order from Little Caesars, as you'll get a better deal for essentially the same pizza.

- foodthe food arrived cold
- ingredientsingredients slide off the base
- vodka sauce“vodka sauce” was not a vodka sauce
- French friesMy experience at the restaurant was alright, but the pricing is wild. I was shocked to see that a side of French fries cost $7, which is more than a full bag of potatoes! 😳 The rest of the meal was acceptable, but the cost of the fries was a significant issue.
- burnt wingspaid $30 for burnt wings
- calzoneMy experience involved ordering a calzone via DoorDash for dinner. Unfortunately, the calzone wasn’t cooked, with the spinach still being raw. Additionally, what was described as “vodka sauce” did not resemble a true vodka sauce; it was not creamy and tasteless.
- cheese and toppingsall of the cheese and toppings just fall off
If you're in the mood for classic Italian, especially pizza and pasta, this place often hits the mark with delicious, generous portions. Just be mindful that some experiences mention cold food or inconsistent quality, so it might be a slight roll of the dice.

Absolutely Loved Our Pizzas!
My friend and I each had our own pizzas. They offered a vegan pizza option, which I ordered, and we were absolutely in love with our pizzas! We both took our food home, and our families enjoyed it so much that we missed it when it was gone.
The service was great and the staff were super kind. The atmosphere was not ideal, however.

Great Pizza and Friendly Service
My experience has been limited to takeout orders, specifically the Pizza special and wings. The staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to answer any questions. The pizza specials are available by the slice and are heated perfectly.
For groups, you can order a full Pizza pie, and you definitely won't be disappointed. The prices are reasonable.
