My wife and I Went Poor Richards on Thursday June 26, needless to say that the pizza was very dry and served on a filthy metal tray. We requested a pizza with mozzarella only, but the young man said that they didn’t make this type of pizza. This was not so, as we had this on previous visits. We will not return.
Pizza was excellent. Get it delivered, because the restaurant itself is noisy, smelled of marijuana and had a terrible set of live musicians. I consider myself musically omnivorous, but I didn't recognize a single song they played. If you do go in person, order and pickup at the bar.
bought pizza for all my coworkers we devoured the pizza we all loved it for some it was our first time way better than little Ceasars and for sure it was fresh
Took forever to find someone to help me at lunch but when they did they were great. Took special care with my allergy. Has a fun atmosphere and the pizza was great. Only advice keep the girls bathroom cleaner and with toilet paper!
Extremly good pizza. Not expensive. Pizza available in five Sites! You can share a pizza and order different things for each half. Without extra payment. Great!
Beer is also perfect!
Service very friendly!
You must be here!

Ordered hot wings and 2 salads, only to find out 20 minutes later, they were outta hot wings and then when one salad was ready they have no forks, and almost 40 minutes for 2nd salad. And wow salads were totally different.

SHORT VERSION:
Pizza was good and came quickly. Prices were average. A good stop.
LONG VERSION:
A large and very dark pizza place with a shocking number of TVs lining the walls. Lots of seating. There is a long bar on one side and a number of large tables around. A tired arcade room is on the other side, but it didn't have any games to keep kids occupied (I'm not sure the ones it had worked, but I didn't try them either).
The restrooms have some fabulous and interesting decor - be sure you check them out! The men's room is a little more gas station than restaurant, but it worked.
The night I was there was pretty quiet - only two couples came in while I was there, but there seemed to be za going out the back door to deliveries. Menus and ordering are done at a cash wrap near the ovens. Prices were pretty usual for a local pizza place.
My small pepperoni and pineapple (yes, pineapple DOES belong on pizza) was on a hand-stretched crust with a good amount of toppings. I prefer when a place puts a sprinkle of cheese on top of the toppings to help stick them down a bit, which this place did not do, but that's not a make or break for me.
Taste was good. Sauce was right. Crust had flavor. The pizza came to my table on a large pan instead of a small one. But that's minor (though it does make the pizza cool a little faster). I have an odd liking for the bubbles that sometimes show up in the crust while a pizza makes, and my little pizza had a couple. I enjoyed every bite.
BOTTOM LINE:
Reminded me of a 70s pizza place. Lots of thick, dark wood, lights barely illuminating the tables, but good food from a hard working pizza maker. I will be back!

Best place is amazing, the new owners have left the magic in it and brought their own pizzazz.

Food was good! But the red head girl working that was working looked like she was mad that she was working, had an attitude on her face an had a headphone in her ear. I had told her thanks when I was leaving an we even make contact an she looked the other way a she said your welcome. Even my family noticed that she looked mad an rude. But food was delicious! :) would be nice if you guys can talk to her an let her know to smile at the customers. I had Visited on August 31

The pizza is not as good as it was years ago. It is thin and most of the time over cooked.
