The food was delicious. We had the meat lovers pizza and it was so flavorful. The service was really good too. The noise level was a little high because there was a DJ and a lot of kids with their family. It’s an excellent place for families and we really enjoyed it

My wife and I shared a ‘Hot Honey & Smoked Prosciutto’ pizza, and it was delicious—a perfect blend of tangy, sweet, and salty flavors on beautifully baked dough. Our server, Kendrick, was patient and attentive, and the entire staff collaborated smoothly to ensure a great experience. We sat at the window area facing the parking lot, at their new round tables, which were surprisingly comfortable and quiet. It's been a while since we’ve eaten here, and, as expected, we had a wonderful experience. Thank you!
