Apparently there's new ownership, so maybe this will change....but.... They didn't even know how to remove the old menu or pictures off the goggle listing from the previous ownership. They also didn't honor the old prices or combos, even though they are still posted. The pizza is still good but sides clearly took a step down. Mozzarella sticks used to be the battered restaurant quality with the old ownership. Now they are the cheap breaded kind you can get at Walmart. This used to be the only place I'd get pizza in lawrenceville, now I'm on the hunt again for a new place. Rough transitions at the very least.

Ordered a hamburger lunch special w/ cheese and mushrooms on Texas toast with fries.
• Service was good. Simple cafe atmosphere.
• Burger was basic with room for improvement. Bread was more of a common slice than a Texas toast. Meat patty was commonly thin. Flavor was ok.
• Fries were thick cut and seasoned. Good.
• I may visit again but try something different.

These are the reviews I hate because it’s a family business, but honestly these were the smallest most dried out wings I have had. Hopefully their pizza is good, but probably will not go back. We only ate the wings

We ordered from them because we love supporting our local small businesses but I must say since they changed ownership they have not been the same. My husband ordered a month ago from them and noticed the quality has changed. But being a game night, we thought we would give them another chance. This time it was barely brown and the cheese pizza was half way even melted. We ended up adding our slices to our air fryer to crisp it. Honestly we would have been better ordering a Kroger pizza. I hope they make their crust homemade because they tasted pre-frozen :( I also hope they make them better going forward or they will not have many repeat clients. Sticking to Capreses and Italy’s Pizza over Hamilton Mill even if it’s a little further.
I will add young lady was very nice in the front.

My husband is from New York and says this is the closest to NY style pizza he has had since moving here. My favorite dish is the Shaken Beef & Fried Rice. Beef is perfectly seasoned and melt in your mouth tender. New management is wonderful! I highly recommend!

This pizza shop is one of the best in my opinion. I have tasted the food before and after the change of ownership. To me the pizza's are the star of the show and are always fresh. I have not had the chance to try their other items, but I do look forward to trying some other items soon.

Unexpectedly OUTSTANDING! We had 2 lunch specials. My son had a medium pizza that was big enough for 2 people and I had the best chicken fried rice that I might have ever had! 3 people could have definitely eaten these 2 meals that even included a drink!

My pizza was gross tasting, and my grandmother said her sandwich was the worst she's ever had. Service was quick but does it even matter with how atrocious the food was? Never going again.

New management, higher prices and smaller portions. Hard to recommend eating here after our last visit. The pizza tasted like one you could get in the freezer at the grocery store. The wings were soggy and the bleu cheese very low quality. Nearly $9 for a handful of fries and seven or eight onion rings. Food was amazing here, now totally mediocre and expensive, will not be going back.

BEWARE! UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. If you have eaten here in the past and are expecting the same quality you will be sorely disappointed.
We ordered plain wings and asked for extra crispy with the sauce and blue cheese on the side. The wings tasted as if they were baked and they were not crispy at all (kind of slimy actually). They had sauce on them rather than on the side. The blue cheese dressing is of the lowest quality I have ever tasted. We also ordered a calzone, pizza, onion rings and fries. The pizza we ordered was a cheese pizza but we were given a buffalo chicken pizza which our children cannot eat. The calzone was sliced through multiple times with cheese on top and had absolutely no ricotta. So essentially just folded dough with mozzarella. The marinara sauce had nearly whole tomatoes in it. Fries have changed since the last owners and were very soggy. They came in a box with the onion rings and two ramekins of ketchup (which did not have the lids on them properly so ketchup spilled out). Onion rings were $4 and there were only 7 very small ones squished in the box with the ketchup and fries. Needless to say we will not be back. There was not one item that we enjoyed.
Under the previous management it was sooooo good but has lost serious quality and seemingly experience with the new owners.

Under new ownership so it’s not pizza focused. So I didn’t bother ordering a whole pizza to try it out. These are the wings and supposed to be fried rice wings are 7 out of 10 rice was a 2.
Response to owner.
Yes both had various items! I’m noting for the other patrons who know this place to be one of the best pizzas in the area not to expect the same level of pizza quality! Wings, let me clarify for you… The flavor in which I had lemon pepper and how the wings were prepared I rate at a 7 out of 10 if 10 were the best! I ordered the lunch special wings with fried rice and the order was wrong they gave me fries instead! So I went back for my fried rice I paid for and they gave me boiled seasoned rice instead. The picture says it all! Consider training for a week or two like other restaurants before you open and before you start charging us full price or offer coupons to make up for it. I paid 12 dollars for 6 drums pretty much.
