We stopped here as a recommendation from someone who lives there. It was obvious to me that all of their ingredients were gotten fresh. The tomatoes for their sauce are hand picked. Their sauce is excellent! The deep dish crust has a good crisp to it, we didn't feel greesy or bloated after eating it. I failed to grab the name of our waiter but he made the whole experience worth it. Great place for families and friends. It felt like home cooking.
