Hands down the BEST PIZZA around the area! Very fresh and packed with lots of flavor. I believe the owners are Italian, and you can definitely taste it in the pizza! Whenever I am craving pizza, this is the place that I go, no matter what the price of the pizza is; it is definitely worth paying. I heard that every Tuesday they have a special on their pizza. You guys definitely have to check this place out.

We love this spot! This is where you go when you want old school Italian food that's made with love. The pizza is always fresh (with a wide variety of by- the-slice options), the sandwiches are overflowing with goodness, the entrees are infinitely craveable (looking at you, lasagna...chicken parm...and piccata), and do yourself a favor and get a cannoli. The only difficult thing about eating here is deciding which delicious dish to get.

Delicious authentic Italian food. We had a large group and they were very accommodating. They do not have a lot of seating, but the 15 of us were able to get a private section. The bathroom is in that section, but that was not a problem.

The food was delicious. I ordered Shrimp Alfredo, but everyone enjoyed their food (pizza, veggie wrap, eggplant, and more). What was most enjoyable was the chef's hospitality. He brought a dessert to our table that was authentic and told us the story behind the dessert. It was good as well. This was a great time with delicious food.

The wait staff wore tshirts with the Ironman logo wearing a chef's hat in honor of Ironman Maryland. Very cool.

UNREAL food!!! Totally shocked. Amazing flavors. Big portions. I ordered the carbonara and added chicken for extra protein. This was the best carbonara I have EVER had. Husband got the meatball sandwich and that was also super good. Went into this restaurant thinking it would just be super average because it is kind of hole in the wall looking from the outside. Our waiter brought our food so fast. We also went at 4pm so that made things move quickly. But SOOOO good- we are coming back tomorrow and can't wait. Was shocked with how high quality and taste of food was for the very responsible price.

Extremely friendly/humor, casual attire, fast service, fresh food, and reasonable prices....

Excellent pizza! I even managed to finish the 14” BBQ Chicken pizza, but note to self, get the 9” next time to leave room for ice cream!

A diamond in the rough . . . Don’t judge this establishment by its exterior. I am almost hesitant to write this review as it is obvious all the locals know how fantastic this restaurant is and probably want to keep it their secret. Small in statue but big on taste! We kept it simple and had a pepperoni pizza. It was one of the best oven cooked pizzas I’ve ever had. Thin crust, but not paper thin. The sauce and crust were amazing.
