Did not enjoy my meal.
Salad was bland and dry.
Pizza was a bit soggy and did not have the artisan taste that I was expecting.
Will maybe try it again.

Quaint spot with delicious pizza and very fresh ingredients. I loved the pistachio ice cream. The outside patio was peaceful with lots of sounds of nature. They allowed our 2 small dogs. Our server was the best.

The service we received from Patty our waiter was phenomenal! I loved the atmosphere, and the food was delicious! I would highly recommend if you're in the area.

We had amazing food and service!
Andrew made excellent suggestions with their seasonal items: Brussel sprout salad and Asparagus/Prosciutto pizza. He was very friendly and was great with customers.
We usually have Riley as our waitress who is also amazing.
We will be back soon !

Napolitano crust!! Delicious pizza toppings! Their house salad and simple lemon oregano herb dressing is delicious! Everything we ordered on four different occasions were just scrumptious!

Was what I expected out of this day and age of wood fire pizza. It has more flop than you’d think since the bottom was obviously cooked/charred (and before it’s stated, I know this is what wood fired pizza should look like).
It had no flavor besides the tomato. Maybe my palette is only used to the robust flavors of fresh olive oil, basil and oregano. Whatever the cause I still didn’t like it. I’m slightly worried to give my review here as I seen the owners response to others (maybe he’s still too young and his ability to not take other people’s critique to heart and hurt his pride hasn’t developed yet). But tis this generation (no pun intended from your foolish response to others who didn’t like your pizza either).

*EDITED*
If just you're looking for your typical slice or full pie of cheese pizza, this isn't your place.

The people were friendly, kind and attentive. The place itself was clean and inviting. But... the pizza... I'm unsure what happened there.
It's the size of a personal pan pizza. It comes on a PLATE. . . And for $20 for a small personal sized cheese pizza, it should come with actual cheese on it. Now, with that being said, they need to change their sauce. It's far too sweet, far too watery and just didn't have any other flavor than sugar. It was by far one of the strangest pizzas I've ever tried. We came to try this place after reading so many positive reviews so I hate to be "that" customer who seems unpleasant or ungrateful or too picky. But if I were to own a resturant, I'd rather hear the truth, regardless of the amount of stars given or my pride, so I could fix or strive for a better quality of product.
Again, nothing but nice people and a clean place. Pizza just wasn't what I would call pizza.

My generation..?.. I'm pretty sure I'm older than EVERY person you had working there.
But regardless of my age, what my body is "used to" eating should be of no concern to you. Your concern should be of your own body and quite frankly the way you handle your emotions when everyone in the world doesn't think you have the grandest of pizzas. To take my extremely professional review this personally raises more red flags to me than the bland pizza did.
I could have written something with less class. I could have treated the review as I would of with my other whopping THREE "fast food" reviews I have made. But, being the "generation" I am, or possibly just the grown respectful woman I am, I reviewed it with as much "fresh tomato"/sugar as possible.

I hope you feel better with the release of obvious anger or sadness that came with your alarming reply. Good luck.

It was a beautiful September afternoon that ended with quite a disappointing meal at this dismal “pizza” place. After ordering a sampler platter appetizer, most people at the table had no clue what they just consumed. 4 bite size peppers and some incredibly unflavorful dough bits (more on this dough later). Admittedly, the meatballs were edible.

After the first treat, 3 personal sized pizzas came to the table. The first had approx 1.5 ounces of prosciutto which technically qualified it as a “meat pizza”. Not much moisture on this which made it hard to was down. The ice cold water helped. The second “mushroom” pizza was very similar. It took approximately 10 adult sized bites to scarf that down. The sausage pizza finally came with less than 2 ozs of “sausage”.

Despite the poor taste and lack of toppings, the foundation (the dough) was last to any pizza we’ve had. It was impressively tough to get down and nobody at the table could get it down without serious gulping of liquids. Approximately 85% of the pizza mass was left on the plate due to dryness.

As we departed the restaurant, I couldn’t help but to be grateful for the frozen Jacks pizza I have in the freezer. That will tasted like a Michelin star after this debacle.

I’d recommend you stop in for a meatball and politely stay away from any other “food” this place has to offer.

Servers were nice and friendly
