They installed a gas station mail order fried chicken brand in their restaurant. Tells you everything you need to know.

Trash pizza. Don’t go here. 5 star is better and that isn’t even good pizza.

As many other reviewers have noted, there used to be a highly rated restaurant at this address.That restaurant closed, and the new restaurant somehow managed to keep the Google reviews from the old, unrelated restaurant.Those great-looking Nashville Hot Chicken sliders they show off in the photos? Those don't exist anymore.Instead, you can pay $5 for a single slice of pepperoni pizza with cardboard crust, store brand pepperoni, and gooey tasteless cheese. I only took two bites and threw the rest away. I'm in shock at how bad it was.The kid working was nice, but that was the only good thing.The interior was 90 degrees and dead empty.

The new owners ruined the place — I completely agree with the other posters. The prices on their website are outdated, they charge ridiculous prices now and don’t advertise it. I ordered a pie and instead of charging by the pie, they charged me for 7 slices claiming it was a deal (it was not). I also am a student with the zupp app and when I tried to use the coupon that is still active and valid on the app, they denied it. If it’s not valid anymore, take it off the app please. Moral of the story, I’ll never be returning to this business.

Used to love to grab a few slices, reminded me of jersey despite the limited sauce. Last time I went was during the fest music fest and it was 1000% reheated pizza from the day prior. Crust was inedible and chewy as all hell... dead give away. Won't be going back which is a shame.

Went in on a Wednesday at 6:30, the open sign was on and the door was unlocked. I waited inside for 10 minutes while someone was doing dishes in the back. Called in while waiting and no response. Either they are severely understaffed or don't care about customers. New ownership really has changed things.

I mean its alright. Pizza is pizza except they forgot the dough and subbed in cardboard. The sauce was great but I can also just buy Walmart brand pizza sauce to replicate 1 ingredient flavor. Cheese was... cheese can't really go wrong with cheese fantastic. Toppings were decent and the majority of the flavor. Onions tasted like onions so I guess that's a plus and pepperoni also tasted like pepperoni. I would probably go here more often if the price for cardboard with sauce wasn't $30. At least the people there were friendly and I could sit inside if I didn't want to inhale fumes from the street and see drunk college kids throwing up on treesParking: Good luck is all I can say. It's better to just drop someone off to grab a pizza and then have them circle back around

This place used to be your best downtown option for what they called authentic NJ style pizza. It recently changed ownership to a family who I’m not sure if they had ever tasted pizza before buying the place. It’s absolute garbage. Undercooked, soggy crust, flavorless cheese. When I complained I got a blank stare and a shrug from the kid behind the counter who inexplicably disappeared for 20 minutes during which another customer came in and waited to order their garbage. There are already a number of reviews recently confirming they have seriously tanked this place. The food service business is way too hard to just buy a place and not know how to make food. It’s a shame because we lost another good downtown establishment.

As the previous poster said, the new owners ruined the place. This used to be a place to get close to a NY slice. Now it’s worst than airport food. The kid who took my order immediately disappeared once the slices were served. Soggy, undercooked crust, flavorless cheese, seemed like it was sitting there forever since no one was even there during dinner time. No one came to ask how it was. I look forward to whatever comes here next. This place won’t last.

Stopped today at 510pm they open @ 5pm but store was locked and no one was in side. 1 other potential customer walked up and walked away as well. Update your hours or be open when you say you are. Recently changed owners and I don't think I'll be a customer anymore. Update went back and now they have changed there pizza and it's not good taste frozen. BEWARE!!!

Horrible experience, the pizza is good but I wait more than 1 hour just for a slice for pizza, a slice, really would recommend you GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!!!!!!!

New owners, now it’s terrible. On a home game weekend, they served only slices and had just pepperoni or cheese to choose from. Lukewarm and tasteless. No liquor or beer on tap.When a line formed inside (on a game day), the owner kicked everyone out and said they had to order at the window. I hope a good business takes the spot when this place inevitably closes. Good riddance

The Patio has been a faithful weeknight spot for the last year thanks to their good pies and great happy hour deal. Unfortunately it appears that they are under new management and the menu has been slashed to just cheese or pepperoni pizza, the HH deal is gone, and the place is deserted. Hoping that these are the growing pains :/ will update the review once we taste our pizza

Ownership changed recently. And s9 did the food. The old pizza was great. New owners serve the worst pizza I have ever had. And it was $30 for a pepperoni pizza that I ate 1 slice of. Can't wait to see what opens here when they close soon.

Go to V pizza. They have staff, soda, and other menu options.The Patio only offers lack luster pizza.
