Always busy. Pizzas are generally good and taste best fresh from the oven so dine in rather than take out. We usually get a mix of vegetarian and meat pizzas and some salad. I like the fungi, capricciosa and salsiccia and fungi pizzas. It would be nice if they offered a spicy pizza or chili flakes/calabrian pepper oil. Service is brusque and efficient but not particularly friendly or warm. The restaurant itself is usually very warm with the pizza oven running. We were celebrating a birthday on the last visit and felt rushed because they wanted to turn over the table.Parking: Usually plenty of spots since it shares space with a cost plus and other businesses that are only open during the day time.Kid-friendliness: High chairs available. No kids menu, coloring or other kid friendly accommodations
Does not allow stroller. To avoid for families with young children.

Cozy restaurant. Well made food. Pity they don't serve bread, don't do freshly ground pepper or parmesan cheese.

Very ordinary pizza for a restaurant with the prestigious VPN - Vera Pizza Napoletana tag attached to it. While the pizza is any day better than the Americanized version of pizza sold at other places, it doesn't come close to the authentic Napoletana pizza. I'll blame the rather dry "fresh mozzarella" they are using the keeping the wood fired oven temperature lower than usual that leaves the pie soggy in the middle - sign of pizza taking too long to cook before the sauce made it soggy. A good oven should cook the pizza in 90sec, and I could see there oven takes a few minutes to get the pie out.Caprese salad was just sad, arugula was not fresh and the dry mozzarella just made it worse.Tiramisu is pre-made, kept in freezer, served in a plastic container stuff, while it tastes ok, the bread will be soggy and the Tiramisu too cold for my taste.
Recommended dishes: Penne Alla Vodka, Napoletana Pizza

Amazing food, service, and environment. Some of the best pizza I have ever eaten in my life. Took my date here. Candle lit tables and chill music. Great evening. Sadly, a horde of families came in with their little rascals changing the lovely mood. Hopefully, not too consistent thing if looking for a good date spot with amazing food.I'll be going back a lot more in the future.

Everything is wonderful! The atmosphere warm and cozy and “fancy” but not really. Intimate. Great for a first date! Or to take the in-laws, lol!Kid-friendliness: I see kids here, so must be kid friendly!
The worst pizza ever! We got two different ones and they were filled with liquid and grease. Literally could not pick up a slice as it was complete liquid. Waitress did not come to the table until after we attempted to eat it. We had someone from work with us so I didn't want to hunt her down to complain. We just ate some of it and left the place. Will never return.

Elevated pizza for an honest price. Hands down the best pizza in the South Bay.

I heard people raving about this place. I've to agreed the pizza was pretty good but I expected more. Probably because I like thin crust even though the crust is very fresh as well as the ingredients. I'd say both Fungi and Prosciutto were very good.The pasta was pretty good as well. Al dente and good sauce.

I don't know what happened. I had pasta carbonara here for the last 6 years. It was perfect all the time. All of a sudden, the last 2 times we ordered, the bacon was burnt, and made the carbonara taste absolutely burnt. It was inedible. Since we ordered to go we basically had to throw it away. We tried again few days ago. The burnt flavor was not that intense, but the bacon was still burnt, black burnt pieces everywhere, the sauce we loved was not there anymore... I don't know. This dish was our favorite dish of all time. And it is not anymore. We are a bit heart broken. Unsure if the cook is different, if the owner has changed, I don't know. But the pasta carbonara is not the same. Sadly.
