“We went to Mom and Pops last week for lunch after a coworker was raving about how amazing it is as he is a frequent diner there! We had never been before and made about a 45 minute drive there just to try it out. The food was absolutely delicious and we received huge portions. We left full, with an entire box of leftovers as well. Also, let me tell you we were treated like complete royalty! Our waitress was so kind and so patient with our kids (they spent the entire visit in the play area). 🤪 It was just such a homey feel. We will 100% be making a trip back to dine with them again. 👏🏼👏🏼”

If you love great Pizza, do yourself a favor and try one.”
