Often praised
- pizzaI generally dislike cheap pizza because it's often greasy, tastes off, and leaves me feeling unwell. However, this place is definitely not cheap pizza. While a large pepperoni is only $5, the quality is outstanding.
- foodMy experience at this restaurant was very positive. It's a very nice place to get food. The staff were very polite and hard working.
- sauceWhile a large pepperoni is only $5, the quality is outstanding. The crust is light, fluffy, and slightly crispy, the sauce is tangy, and the cheese blend is incredibly good. Although I enjoy Chicago-style pizza, it's hard to justify spending $35 when I can enjoy this delicious $5 option.
- crustthe crust is light and fluffy and a little crispy
- tastejust the taste I was looking for
- toppingsI had a great fresh pizza with the perfect amount of sauce. The toppings were great, and I especially highly recommend the meat lovers pizza. The Service, Atmosphere, and Food all received a perfect score of 5.
- $5 pizzahow good a $5 pizza was
- 8 pizzasYou cannot get a better pizza for less than $6. It's perfect for parties; I can get 8 pizzas for less than $60. It truly lives up to its name, "Tasty Pizza.
- DeliciousIt's better than any other brands in terms of values. Delicious indeed!

Frequently criticized
- pizzaCrappiest rubber tasting pizza I ever had
- Domino's pizzaThis pizza is good and at a great price compared to the $42 Domino's pizza that was cold, cheeseless, and burnt. This pizza from Tasty Pizza is economical and tasty.
- buffalo wingsbuffalo wings they are not my favorite
- pizza sizediameter is a medium size
- XL pizzasThe XL pizzas are smaller than a dominoes medium
- bread sticksthe bread sticks tasted like the entire staff stepped on it
- buffalo saucewings need buffalo sauce
- cheeseI recently paid $50 for what I expected to be two extra-large pizzas, wings, and a salad. Unfortunately, the "XL" pizzas were smaller than a Domino's medium and were only average in taste, with very little cheese. I was very disappointed by their inflated marketing of sizes and the ridiculous prices.
- cheese breadCheese bread is less impressive
- combopaid for a combo he said “ well it comes with garlic bread if it’s a combo “
Overall, if you're looking for a good pizza with great value, especially for parties, this place is definitely worth a try. Just be mindful that some customers have noted inconsistencies with pizza size and certain side items like wings or breadsticks.

Frequently criticized
- attitudethe person who answer gave me aditute
- customer serviceMy experience at this restaurant was extremely negative due to the customer service. The staff member I interacted with had zero customer service skills and demonstrated a complete lack of knowledge about what the restaurant sells. I would advise others not to waste their time here.
- employeewish the person on the phone was better trained
- ownerthe owner is, simply put deplorable
- phone serviceWorst customer over the phone service!!
- serviceincredibly disappointed with the service and attitude I was given
- acknowledgementWouldn't even acknowledge me
- answering callsI was told they would call back because they were busy, but I was left on hold for over 30 minutes before I hung up. When I tried calling again, no one answered at all. Even one star is too much for them.
- businessrespect my business or me
- deliveryMy experience was that I ordered from here and they never showed up. Additionally, the phone was never answered when I tried to reach them.
If you catch them on a good day, youll likely enjoy friendly and fast service. But be aware that theres a chance of encountering order mix-ups or less-than-stellar phone interactions, so it's a bit of a gamble.
Ambience (6 out of 10)
mentioned by 9% of the guests
Lets talk about the vibe! The ambience here gets an average score of 6, with customer satisfaction sitting at a mixed 60% based on 5 pieces of feedback. Guests appreciate the overall Atmosphere and describe it as a charming hole in the wall.
Many find the interior, specifically inside the shop, to be surprisingly clean and organized, which definitely adds to its unique character. However, not everyone is completely sold on the atmosphere. Some comments suggest the energy can be a bit too high, especially for what might be expected from a casual pizza spot.
One reviewer even warned that its not a place to take a first date if you're hoping for a second, indicating it might not suit all social occasions.

Great Pizza, Great People!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The pizza was great, and the prices were excellent. The people who operate this beautiful establishment are wonderful.
While it's definitely a hole in the wall, that's often where the best food comes from. I highly recommend their pizza.

Best Humble Pizza Place in Town!
I recently discovered this humble little pizza place in my neighborhood and it has quickly become my go-to spot. They deliver high quality pizza made with fresh ingredients at a very reasonable price. I was amazed to find a large pepperoni pizza for only $8, a price point I haven't seen elsewhere.
It's definitely a step above chains like Domino's and Pizza Hut. I also want to commend them for their reliable phone orders; I call it in, and it's ready for me in just 10 minutes, every single time!

Disappointing Service, Overpriced Combo
I went in the other night to purchase a combo for my family, which included two pizzas and a drink. As I was leaving, an employee chased me down to my car, accusing me of not paying for the drink. When I explained I had purchased a combo, he rudely asked, 'What combo?
' This was the same employee who took my order and rang me up. The price of $25 for two pizzas felt insanely overpriced, especially since they advertise them as $7. 99 each.
I had to reiterate that I had paid for a combo, and he then stated, 'Well, it comes with garlic bread if it's a combo. ' I was not given any extra items, even though this employee knew I had paid for a combo. I've been coming here for years, so I was incredibly disappointed with the service and attitude I received.
I will not be coming back here, nor will I be recommending this place to anyone in the future.

Consistent Quality for Over a Decade
I've been coming here for over 10 years, and my experience is very simple. You walk in, place your order, and wait about 15 minutes. It's always a good idea for dinner.
