I love this restaurant / sports bar! I've moved over 300 miles away but anytime I'm in town visiting family I make it a point to stop in. Their thin crust pizza is DELICIOUS, which is what keeps me coming back. I'm the past when I lived in the area, 20 years ago, I enjoyed many if their other entrees, which my family assured me that they are still great.

Whoever made this turkey pesto club, I could kiss you.

I don’t usually order from DoorDash, because I think it takes margins from a small business, but today I was in a bind & saw their $12 meal deal.

This club was worth the wait, and tasted fresh and delicious. You can definitely split it with two people, or save half for later.

Great. The woman on the phone that took my order was polite and accepted a simple request. I wasn't rushed like other pizza places.
The pizza was great too, the sauce is sweet and it complimented the toppings.
