“Amazing! Every time we come in we’re greeted by the friendly staff. Took home meatballs and green balls over the weekend and they are DELICIOUS! Everything we’ve had there is good, love this place!“

“My wife and I had a late lunch there today and Riley who was taking care of the bar, also took care of our table. We had not eaten there since they moved to the new location. We started with the Calamari and we had just a few minutes to chat after we finished and our meals were brough to us. My wife had the Ravioli Aragosta and I had the spicy Chicken and Sausage. The meals looked great and tasted even better. The fresh bread that was brought to the table was perfect! Riley took care of all of our needs, and we never felt rushed. I definitely recommend this place and hope to return soon.“

“I love the veggie pizza & spanakopita! My husband loved the spaghetti. The gin & tonic was huge & tasted very refreshing.“

“Hands down the BEST pizza place in town! If you’re craving true St. Louis–style pizza, this is the spot.

What makes it even better is the consistency—you never have to wonder if tonight’s pizza will be as good as the last, because it always is. And the service? Outstanding. The staff is friendly, quick, and genuinely cares that you’re having a great experience.

Whether it’s dine-in, carryout, or grabbing a pie to share with friends, this place delivers (literally and figuratively). Easily my go-to recommendation for anyone asking where to find the best pizza in town.“
