Lucky to get a last minute reservation. First time dining after recently moving into the area. Lively Saturday night, despite being busy we had exceptional service from our waiter. The pizzas were fantastic, quality pizza dough. The best pizza in the area. Appreciated our wine recommendation from the friendly manager. Professional service and recommend the pizzas. Thanks for a great date night, our new local.
