The pizza it great. But I don't get why they would put provolone on an American

This is one of those places that makes you feel like family. My partner and I just moved here from Ohio and were looking for just some good wings and calzones. We found that and more! Not only is their food incredible, but the staff was so friendly when we went to pickup our online order. Definitely the go to for a nice night of carry out.

I'm not joking this was the worst pizza I've ever had in my life. The crust is 10000% pre made crust. Perfectly round, super hard, etc. I've never had a pizza place that used pre made crust. 2 pies for $50 what a joke

Ideally, you won’t get the deep dish pizza here because it really isn’t true deep dish pizza, and it tastes overly salty and is basically unappetizing. We ended up throwing most of ours away.

The gluten free pizza was great. So was the regular pizza according to my husband. Definitely recommend.

Tried delivery pizza out today through their platform ChowHound. I thought I ordered half onion but it came with all onion. It may be a glitch in their system. Either way it was very tasty. I'd order again. It was the first time I used Barstool Sports One Bite Pizza App to find a highly rated pizza in JP. This was the highest rated that was still open. I'd recommend it, onions fragrant and flavorful.

After reading the reviews and based on their ranking we decided to give this pizza place a chance. Deep dish and a regular crust pizza along with some onion rings. Everything was simply okay.. there was no notable difference between the crust on both pizzas. In addition, I would be surprised if they make their own dough.. it most definitely is not fresh if they do because it has that cardboard frozen pizza taste. Minimal amounts of sauce sparse toppings. Perhaps caught them on an off day and would be willing to try them again someday.

Really good bbq chicken pizza. Prices are different compared to the online menu though. Online menu price had a small bbq chicken pizza as $12.49 but at the restaurant and receipt it’s $13.99.They should update the website menu with the new prices but overall I’ll go here again. Pizza was hot and crust was crispy and well done with no special request needed (just how I like it). Onion rings were crispy as well.In my opinion if you like a good crunch to your pizza crust I’ll go here instead of the place further down the street. This will be my new go to pizza place!

They sold there restaurant recently and ever since I've experienced nothing but hour long delivery times even though I work at a hospital so close to the store I can see it from my job. I've had my food and drinks forgotten multiple times as well. Last time was the last straw can't order from here anymore as good as the food was its not worth it at all. Don't order.

We ordered a chicken parm and meatball subs for the Pats game. They never came on Sunday. To our surprise they were delivered on Monday afternoon. Surprise!!!!!Boy, I gotta tell you this were two of the worst subs I've ever eaten. Never ordering from Ideal again.
