Best pizza place around!! It won't be quite the same with the passing of Greg. However, the food is amazing!! Highly recommend!!

Greg catered pizza and salad for us in the past!! Delicious and love that pink dressing!

Dropped by twice this week. Craving pizza. Never tried before heard it was good. Door locked @ 5.30pm although say they open at 4pm. Went to double doors as you'd think it was main entrance. Nothing.

It's difficult to write this review because I believe there has been a loss in the family and family friends are trying to hold-down the fort. However, consumers need to know what the food is like and that's what these reviews are for. They were out of most of the stuff on the menu. We were pretty much forced to eat pizza and I tried the spaghetti and meatballs. Both were not good. I really hope things get turned-around because it used to be a fantastic place to eat. It's just right now, not good at all.

I've been coming for about 15 years now and everything is amazing! Personal favorites are the salad (house dressing) and pizza. More than that it's the way the family and employees care for their customers.

This place is a dump. I called in an order and they said it would be done in 45 mins. I left the house 40 mins after I placed the order. After sitting at the restaurant for an hour. I inquired about my order. It wasn't even in the oven at this point. The cook could be heard telling me to go to Golden Corral from the kitchen. After hearing this the girls up front just laughed. Totally disrespectful and unprofessional. Don't waste your time in this place. They don't want your business.

Used to be our favorite local Italian restaurant. Amazing food, a genuine and happy owner and fabulous service. Key phrase is ‘USED TO BE'. The past few times we've dined or had carry out, the food was not what it usually was- but nothing to complain about. Thought it was just a slump. ***Everything changed when my family of five visited your restaurant Greg on Friday night, March 1, 2019, beginning at 5:45pm. Aside from our 2.5 hour wait for dinner and watching one of your two servers walk out, I actually got up from the big round table my family & I were sitting at- awaiting our drinks and food, to assist YOUR SERVER. This young lady was high school aged and doing her very best to smile and take care of a decently full dining room. I asked her if I could help and started refilling drinks, taking orders and cleaning up tables. Your customers were appreciative and it created a positive vibe in the dining room. All of the positivity in the dining area instantly paused, as your vulgar mouth was heard over a restaurant full of people chatting while you screamed, belittled and went off on your kitchen staff. You saw me a few times grabbing drink refills and your solo server told you I was helping since the other serI er walked out. You didn't even have the decency to give me a quick ‘thank you' or more importantly- be supportive to your solo server. Everyone could also hear you berating her. Carryout customers coming in and waiting extended periods of time, were observers of all of this too. There was even a few families that came in wanting to dine in and I told them to do themselves a favor and go somewhere else that night, so they wouldn't have to wait, be part of your nonsense and they could eat dinner before 8:30pm. It took me a few weeks to write this review- as I was that insulted and disappointed in your lack of professionalism and how you chose to treat your staff. No wonder you have constant turnover- it's not because you hire teenagers (as you've stated in response to others' reviews), it's because you lack the ability to connect and treat people with respect. You've not only lost us as customers, but several others who were there that night. Of course, this review will not help you and of course, I am telling all of my family & friends to not patronize your pathetic excuse for a well run business. If you are not happy and not being successful in your restaurant, do yourself a favor and sell it or close it~ as this was very much the message that your entire staff and customers got in one single night.

We have gotten pizza from here to go and it was good. Tonight we went for dinner and it was extremely disappointing. There was a 35 min wait which was not a big deal. Once we got seated we ordered 2 pizzas, salad, and appetizers. The fried mushrooms were horrible, dripping with old fryer grease. Then we waited over an hour for our pizzas and by this time there were only 2 other parties at tables. We started smelling something burning.... really bad burning then smoke started coming out of ceiling. Then our pizza came out which was way overdone. But not what was burning there was something worse. The employees had to open the doors and turn on all the fans and the smoke kept getting worse. Pretty sure the fire department should have been called. No apology or explanation for anything. Also no discount or anything taken off bill for the extremely long wait, burnt pizza and smoke inhalation. Complete waste of $80.. Sad that this place went downhill.

Save yourselves the time and stay away from this restaurant. The owner is rude and clearly does not care about staying in business. Servers are nothing more than apathetic order takers. My family and I were made to feel very unwelcome at this restaurant and I would never give this place my business. We were lucky that we walked out after 15 minutes of not being served in a half empty restaurant, most who were looking angrily at the kitchen for their food.

Pizza is always almost perfect. It seems under cooked or toppings are a little.
