Disappointing Pizza and Service
Although it was the end of their workday, I had pre-ordered my food in plenty of time. The staff member at the window seemed irritated, even though I was picking up an order that was already prepared. If you're new to this place, I'd advise ordering less than you think you want, as the portion sizes are surprisingly large.
I ordered a full pizza, and it was much bigger than expected, with no description on the website to indicate this. As a large person, this pizza could feed me for three days. For a single meal, a slice or two would be more appropriate.
I found there was no possibility of customization, which is understandable for a quick drive-through, but less so for an online order where there's less pressure. My biggest issue was the lack of sauce on the pizza; it was mostly crust with a minimal amount of sauce, mushrooms, a little cheese, and basil. The flavor was very bland, and I won't be ordering from here again.

Delicious Food, Friendly Service, Great Prices!
I just left this place and instantly had to write a review. We ordered the Paradiso, Primavera with hot peppers, pepperoni, and Margherita. The service was friendly, the portions were generous, and the prices were great.
The ingredients were fresh, and the food was absolutely DELICIOUS! My family and I are already planning on coming back this weekend :)

Amazing Sicilian Pizza Slabs!
My experience at this pizza drive-thru was truly amazing. The concept is simple yet brilliant, and the restaurant produces delicious, thick Sicilian-style pizza slabs. The pizza features hot, melted cheese, fresh ingredients, and rich flavors.
The prices are incredible, with slabs costing between $5 to $7, which is amazing value given their remarkable size and girth. This was my second visit, and the take-out boxes were perfectly suited to keeping the slabs hot and dry during travel, even on a rainy day. Each large slab is sliced in half.
I was delighted to find over four types of vegetarian options for my vegetarian friend, and I chose the mushroom, Primavera, and margarita slices. For a rainy season in Seattle on a budget, I'm not sure it gets any better.

Disappointing Pizza Experience
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing, primarily due to the food quality. I ordered a pepperoni pizza, and unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The crust was more like sandwich bread than pizza crust, the cheese was mediocre and stringy, and the pepperoni was tasteless.
The sauce was also described as 'nasty, ' and surprisingly, the pizza didn't even smell appealing. In comparison, I believe Domino's or even Little Caesars offer better pizza and more value for the same price. The atmosphere and service were also a bit confusing.
The establishment is labeled with a drive-through, but it's not a true drive-through experience. While you can pull up near the counter, you have to get out of your car to retrieve your pizza, which is inconvenient unless you're in a very large vehicle. This aspect, while not a major issue, was certainly not what I expected from a 'drive-through' setup.

Great Drive-Thru Pizza Experience!
I finally gave this place a try and I’m so glad I did! I pass BoBu on my way to work every day, so I decided to swing through. I’m super impressed; it was tasty and easy to eat in the car.
I also liked the box it was in. I never thought a drive-thru pizza stop would be a real draw, but I hope success for these guys. Check it out, y’all!
Also, the gentleman that owns the business is really nice. Thank you for the pretzel :)

Unique Pizza Joint with Passionate Owner
I finally had the chance to visit this unique pizza joint and was extremely pleased with the entire process. The owner and I chatted through the window while my order was being prepared. The pizza came out hot, fresh, and delicious, with a little extra thrown in because the owner is just that kind of person.
I hope that surrounding businesses can help keep this place around for the long haul, as we need more creative, tasty, passion project type local businesses!

Impressive Sourdough Pizza Crust!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. The entire menu offered fresh and super tasty dishes. I was particularly impressed by the pizza crust, which was fluffy with a homemade sourdough flavor.
The recommended dish was the Pepperoni Pizza.

Best-Kept Secret for Delicious Pizza
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's truly the best-kept secret in the Greenwood/Crown Hill area, though it's quite visible. This is THE place to go for a made-to-order, fresh pizza that is frickin' delicious.
The crust is always perfect, the toppings are always fresh, and the staff treat you like a regular even on your first visit. The outdoor patio is a nice touch, and the vegetarian options are plentiful and highly recommended.

Great Food, Great Value!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was great and well priced. I particularly love their pepperoni and find myself coming back for it all the time 😁.
The atmosphere was also a perfect 5/5, and the service was equally impressive at 5/5.

Disappointing Pizza and Pretzel
My experience at this restaurant was largely disappointing, primarily due to the food quality. The pizza crust tasted like cheap, frozen white bread dough with no yeasty flavor. Instead of a pepperoni pizza, it was more like a grilled cheese sandwich made with low-quality bread and cheese.
While the tomato sauce was good, it was spread too thin to be noticeable. The only redeeming part of the pizza was the pepperoni cups. Unfortunately, the pretzel also suffered from the same issue, tasting like it was made from baked frozen white bread dough without any yeast flavor.
We ended up eating only the pepperoni and discarding the rest. The atmosphere was also a letdown, scoring a 2, while the food received a 1.
