Very modern in the semi formal setting. Great for a date night or larger corporate meal setting to being the whole team. The selection of pizza was amazing, of course there are some hits, and I mean, major hits, and a few misses, but that’s to be expected with such a wide variety of options. But the best part is the price level that it’s set up for the quality and flavor you get, as long as you have one or two pizzas you truly enjoy you cannot go wrong. Top that off with consistent and considerate service, this place honestly very hard to beat if you’re a fan of pizza that goes beyond the standard fair.
