We stopped in when we were passing through Payson and had a late lunch. The meatball (stretch)sandwich was fantastic, so flavorful and fresh. It was perfect for my husband and I to split.

My wife and I absolutely LOVE this place! We got the meatball Monday special (5 for 4 - $8) and some marinara to go with our two Chicken Parmesan sandwiches and two Caesar Salads. EVERYTHING was outstanding! The marinara is perfect and did not give me indigestion like some marinara sauces can. The meatballs are very good and addictive. The salads were very fresh and had a really nice balance of ingredients and you get a nice portion. The chicken parmesan sandwiches were so very good! I was only going to eat half of mine and save the other half for later but I couldn't stop. I could easily eat myself to death at this place! The owner is VERY friendly which rounded out this first visit as a great find and a huge success for dinner.

Went in around Christmas time and got a bucket for the family! A very nice young man was at the front named Reagan. Super responsible and respectful. Such great customer service! Will definitely continue supporting their business.

I ordered delivery tonight for the 1st time since new ownership. I must say the food quality is MUCH BETTER! I ordered the #2 special, large bucket with meat sauce and meatballs! And when they say your getting a FULL LOAF of garlic bread that's exactly what you get! No more HALF LOAF aka FULL LOAF as advertised by previous owner. I got full on less thanks to that rich meat sauce! And there was plenty of sauce left that I'm not letting go to waste. Boiled some more noodles to have spaghetti for leftovers! Can't wait to Try the new Alfredo, chicken parmesan, and bread pudding in the near future. Keep up the good cooking!

Following the hours listed in Google Maps I tried to visit on a Sunday recently. Well there was a sign on the door that says they're closed and there's a comment from the owner on here listing out the newest hours of operation.
Well I can deal with that but I figured that other customers deserved this proper information so I posted these hours which vary significantly day to day as a suggested edit.
Per the info now presented, the hours were verified by phone call (my own edit was not confirmed, oddly) but nothing was actually changed at all to line up with that comment. I can't fault somebody for running on reduced hours yet my time is valuable too.
≠====== I just downgraded my review to a single star, not that it will matter. I had always wanted to visit the original location first. The misposting of business hours probably cost me that opportunity when I was in town here the previous two weekends.
The business has permanently closed. The hours have been removed from the doors and all that remains is evidence that the Sunday info wasn't ever even correct. I had once bought a Groupon for a Peoria location that proved to be impossible to use. At this point I think I've had enough of a bad taste to strike this whole chain from my list.

This place used to be great. Used to stop while passing through once a month. The last 3 times it has beee closed during their posted hours. Once there was a note on door saying it would be open at 4:30. A business that can’t keep its hours is usually death to that business. It won’t be around much longer if these are it’s business practices.

I got to say, I was pleasantly surprised. First, as I grabbed the bag off the counter it occurred to me that I had some serious weight in that bag. Driving back the smell was just teasing me,... even with both windows in my truck down. Got it home and my oh my that was some good eating. I'm not one to like anything take out except pizza, don't know what the reviews i read bashing on their balls for, cause these were perfectly cooked, great tasting, spaghetti and meatballs. I offer my review and recommend this to anyone, especially if you want a good deal of great food for a fair price.
Amazing service and an awesome staff. Delicious
