My opinion is it's 4 star pizza. I tried the margarita. The dough is excellent and it wasnt greasy but it was just lacking in flavor. The sauce is very basic - no tang or kick to it. Not memorable in any way. There was about 4 tiny pieces of basil throughout the whole pizza. You get a little bit of basil flavor ever 6-8 bites. The cheese was ok. Most places struggle with getting the dough right but here it's the opposite. Overall it's good pizza but nothing too memorable.

This place hits a groove that we need! The pizza is special! The kind of bites one would expect IN ITALIA! It’s spartan with an uncomplicated menu and drum roll…affordable prices! You cannot go to Italia for $100 but you can have a great meal for two here and FEEL Italia! Spot on flavors and execution….no music while we were there so the emphasis on the food…works! We are returning!

Oh this is terrible to have to post. I’ve come here a handful of times. My first experience was great. Partly because it was one of the cooks first times on the floor. He and I had a good rapport. I ordered the margharita pizza and the arugula salad. The salad had scarce toppings but tasted great, the pizza was under cooked. It was super soggy and had 4 small pieces of basil on it. Half the sauce. So I was eating dough. Loved their coffee which they get from a local coffee shop. I decided to come back because I really enjoyed the initial service and thought I can just tell them to cook the pizza longer, add more sauce, cheese and basil to the entire pizza. The service was terrible, I had an older woman serve me. She was ice cold and never came to check on me. I sat without water until I paid my bill. She hovered over me as I was paying and made me feel obligated to leave her a tip. I left feeling very upset that I was pressured to leave a tip for horrible service. Well I went back a couple of more times to see if it would get better. It didn’t. Yesterday, I came back from a six hour drive and wanted their salad. I came in and decided to eat outside as there is a negative vibe inside. The kid serving me did not like that I requested shaved cheese. ( second time this happened) I did not care that their cheese is all the same, grated or shaved. I wanted it shaved. I also asked for the pizza to be extra crispy with lots of basil. There were 5 tiny pieces of basil and not evenly distributed. He charged me for the cheese. Even though it’s the same cheese. Didn’t tell me. Charged me for extra salad dressing. Didn’t tell me. This hadn’t happened before. Now here is the kicker, I get home and immediately have stomach pain so severe. I spent the entire night in fetal position on the toilet because of the sharp excruciating pain and was running to my bathroom every second. I’ve spent all day today at home because I cannot control my bowels. I know I contracted a foodborne illness there. After thinking about it. Each time I’ve been there I’ve gotten sick. I have experienced diarrhea and stomach pain every time. I guess I overlooked it. I just put it together last night. This has been the worst of it. I do not have any food intolerances or any such thing. Last night and today have been the most unpleasant experiences. I guess I’ve learned my lesson and will not go back. I’m guessing something is off in their ingredients. Perhaps the tomato sauce is not being properly held/stored. Or they’re not using proper sanitation. Maybe these guys do not change their gloves and wash their hands per servsafe. Or the water is bad. I don’t know but something is definitely wrong. I’ve been a chef for years and these are all symptoms of cross contamination/ food borne illness. I literally paid almost $40 dollars for an explosive, excruciating enema experience.

Minimalist decor in an odd way. Felt like an unfinished restaurant. Very small tables with no room for pizza. Meat pizza was not good. The crust was decent the pizza was soggy, very little cheese and toppings. Tons of ricotta. Was off putting. The rosemary bread was delicious. Salad soggy with tons of dressing but very little substance aside from arugula and a little sliced almonds. Everything seemed lacking. Service so so. Took a while to get water. Did not return to ask how food was. Had to flag another server to ask for another glass of wine, which came in a tiny standard cup and definitely not a full serving. Has the potential to be good with some care an attention to detail. I was very surprised by the high reviews for the area. Much better food in Sac. Would not return.
With the weather being nice we walked down there for dinner. Their food is always fresh and we recommend the arugula salad and their meatballs! All their pizzas are great too!

Pretty loud in there and a bit pricey but the pizzas are excellent hand thrown pizzas.
