Totally separate vegan menu (and totally separate gluten-free menu if that's important to your group). I got the small pizza, which is good for 1 adult. The crust and sauce are great, but the cheese is standard daiya-like. They do a good job melting it, but it's still just regular vegan cheese. They have a ton of vegan toppings like sausage, though. I'll definitely go back and try some other dishes. The staff is super friendly, but seating is limited, so I'd recommend making a reservation if going on a Friday or Saturday night.
The completely separate vegan menu was impressive!! I got the vegan pizza fritta since I wasn’t hungry enough for pizza or pasta, and it was really good. My partner has a pizza with regular cheese, and he loved it. The quality of everything was incredible, and the owner stopped at our table to share what makes their practices special. We will definitely be going back, since the vegan menu has endless delish offerings.
The pizza is so good! We always order a couple glass bottle cokes to go with it and then head over to the bakery next door for a pastry!

Though Google says it is cash only, they take all forms of payment. They have pasta dishes, salads, pizzas, Italian soda, beer, and wine. They have a regular menu, a gluten-free menu, and a vegan menu. It's a lovely place with delicious food and friendly staff.

Ass pizza, very soggy, no crust, tomato’s has no taste, cheese has no taste. Only thing good is they add basil.

Great food, with friendly and efficient service. The pizzas weren't quite full Italian style (a little thicker than the real thing) but the toppings were plentiful and excellent.
Be aware that the pizzas are HUGE - we made the mistake of ordering one each when two could have been shared between three or four people. Our server not warning us about this was the only blot on a very enjoyable meal (and they gladly boxed up the remains for us to take back with us).

Our oven broke late in the evening while in the middle of cooking pizza. This was close to their closing time. We rushed there and they kindly still took us and made us two delicious pizzas. The staff is kind and their service is good. Pizza dough is flaky, with just the right amount of char. Thank you!

Food here is always outstanding, it tastes authentic and not too salty. My partner and I always order the gluten free aranchinni and it sets the mood for a wonderful evening.
Dietary restrictions: Good place for gluten free. Separate menu and the owner and staff are knowledgeable about Cross contact

EDIT AFTER RESPONSE: Wow, what an incredibly creepy and unprofessional response from the owner/management. Definitely do NOT come here - I retract any positive sentiment from my previous review below.
I desperately want to like this place. The food is excellent, but the service makes me want to never return, and I kick myself every time I do. The new manager, an older gentleman, is unbelievably rude and seems annoyed to have customers in the establishment. He is always in a bad mood (and makes it very clear to anyone dining there that he wants your money and for you to get out ASAP) and frankly ruins the entire experience. I would recommend this spot for take-out but somehow the manager seems just as annoyed by your presence even for a pick up order. Until the management improves, or at least pretends to care about their customers, I would stay far, far away from this place. It is truly a shame because the pizza is excellent and the pasta is solid, but the manager ruins your dining experience from start to finish. Unfortunately, this is not based off of just 1 dining experience, but several. I will never return unless there is a new manager.

The wife and I had been wanting to try this place. One of my family members had been and said it was great. We didnt eat there, so cant comment on service or atmosphere . We did takeout. But a large pizza, small salad and 1 canoli for 51$?? Abit steep ,no? Also, pizza was like cardboard. Picture showed 2 canoli's on website? Figured 1 for me, 1 for the wife..disappointed to find 1 when i opened the bag. Although website seems to change each time I check, cant seem to find the picture now. Is it under construction?

We went for lunch on a Saturday in February at 12. We were first to sit down but others came in soon after us and there was a busy take out service.
We chose to have two starters and both were very good. Our favorite was the Melanzane which was l a grilled eggplant slice wrapped around ricotta cheese with a tomato sauce, basil leaves and parmesan cheese. The second starter was Panzerotti which was two mini calzones which had mozzarella and basil filled in fried dough pizzas. They were like little pies. Despite being starters they were more than enough for the two of us retirees so we took leftovers home. In the bag the owner put some french bread rolls into the bag!
Service was excellent and the food came quickly and was piping hot. When we said we were planning to share we were offered extra plates. When we told the owner we had first heard about the Enzina bakery next door he gave us a 10% coupon which we used immediately.
The ambiance is pleasant with an exposed brick wall and a rolled metal ceiling. We sat at the back near a heater but others chose to sit at the front to observe passer bys.
The bill was reasonable and considering the quality of the food and the service we were very satisfied.
We will be back probably both for take out and dine in!
Many thanks for a great lunch experience.

The food was terrific. We split a Caesar salad and ordered the Melenzane and Tagliatelle Bolognes. The food was so fresh! We had to try the cannolo and ricotta pie—no regrets there. I'm delighted to have such a wonderful restaurant so close by. We will definitely be going back.

Stop scrolling, go get this food! We finally found a pizza place! Ordered an hour before closing on a snow storm Sunday (7pm) /Sundays) and delivery through a food delivery service. Crust was crispy (not too crispy) delicious = no flop! The ingredients were all fresh, San Marzano tomatoes. I also got a Romaine salad and rarely and sadly do I ever find a nice fresh crisp salad! Kudos to the owners for running their business with pride! I never wrote reviews but have vowed to start and especially for restaurants that impress. I will be back to try everything else! Thank you! Also high five to the delivery man, Stephen for venturing out in a snow storm for me (made sure to tip some $$ on top of 20%)!
