SPOILED BIRTHDAY, DISGUSTING DESSERTS, THE SMALLEST PIZZA FOR $25 I’VE EVER SEEN, DIRTY STAFF, AND A FORCED 20% SERVICE CHARGE!

I booked a table for 7 people to celebrate my son’s birthday on October 11, 2025.
The day before, I called to mention it was a birthday and asked for a table by the window. They said, “Sure, come earlier and remind us.”

We came three hours early to confirm and asked again for a big table by the window. The hostess said “of course.” But when we arrived at our reservation time, the restaurant was full — no table reserved. The waiter started setting up a table in the middle of the room near the kitchen, ignoring my request.

My son ordered the Chocolate Almond Cake and asked for a small candle. The waiter agreed, but when dessert arrived, only two out of three desserts came, and one child waited another 15 minutes. My son’s dessert had no candle, and when I asked again, the waiter said they never had any.

The “cake” turned out to be a tiny cupcake with whipped cream, completely tasteless — not a hint of almond. Disgusting. And then we were charged 20% service fee plus asked for extra tips!

The waiter’s shirt was covered in dried pizza dough, and his nails were long and dirty. I didn’t want to ruin my son’s mood, so I just paid and left.
I’m very disappointed I chose your place to celebrate my son’s 10th birthday.
Thanks for ruining the memories!

We loved our first stop here. The atmosphere is nice, but casual, the staff is efficient and the food was delicious. I had a Margherita pizza, she had the bruschetta and a salad and all were outstanding. Great option for any pizza fans near Georgetown.

Solid wood fired pizza, tasty salads, and extensive beer list. Delicious.

This is one of my favorite pizza spots in the area. Located on a street with a true Georgetown vibe, it serves pizzas that taste close to what you’d find in Italy. The fresh ingredients and perfectly baked dough stand out, and the seasoning is just right—making this a place I often crave when I’m in the mood for pizza. The salads are also worth trying.

That said, don’t expect much from the service, and keep in mind the outdoor seating is right next to a bus stop, which can be a bit inconvenient.

33 dollars for a margherita that taste worse than a 10$ fast food pizza i don't know what else to say. I don't know how it's possibly rated so well i wonder if they are fake reviews

I haven’t eaten the food yet here but our service has been great; I’m a comedian, and the waiter is much funnier than I am! Even my dad said so!

Good pizza and entree salads in Georgetown near Georgetown Cupcake. I recommend the bruschetta. I paid $93 for lunch for 3 people not including tip (but there is already a 20% surcharge for dining in) July 3, 2025.

Went with my daughter and the food was AMAZING! I had the meatballs with garlic toast and it almost made me cry! I am having dreams of those meatballs to this day. The server added a little extra garlic because I was between the meatballs or garlic knots. Get the meatballs! Daughter had a pizza.
