Wonderful service in the off season (Nov.), and really great, quick food. The full sandwich and fries is easily able to split, and the wings were great! Will be going back for lunch again.

We were told this was the best pizza on the island, we finally stopped in and it was very good. “Best” is a tough sell, but overall we enjoyed it, we’ll visit again soon in hopes of bumping this to a 5 star review.

Chose to go here to 1st time try for early dinner . Walked in as a delivery guy said "Hello they'll be with ya in a minute" ,as he was walking out w/ a bag full of deliveries to make........ So we stood there at the front area of entry waiting area near counter.... several minutes later a lady is still behind the swinging door to kitchen on the phone taking call in orders. Ok the the older man -- maybe owner? steadily placing pizzas in several boxes looked up a couple times at us-- didn't say a word. We were chatting off n on so they knew we were still waiting. After nearly 10 minute-- we walked out... They don't seem to give a rip whether you come in or not ; and there was NOT ANYONE at all in the whole dining area. So -- like phone orders was there main thing I guess. So-- we went to Trading Post nearby and enjoyed a VERY Fantastic meal with friendly appreciative service!!

Close and convenient. Chaos, as it is close and convenient! The highway of people in and out of the door was numerous, humorous, and interesting. The team tried to keep up and then some vagabonds didn't fully pay their bill and off ran management to obtain restitution. Pizza was better than most, but no beer...on vacation beer has to go with pizza! Until they get beer, we won't return.

We always make Circle our first meal on Emerald when arriving. The pizza then acts as beach lunches if there is any left. The folks are always super nice even though this is a very busy place. We always carry out but you can eat in. Best pizza on the Island

Everyone has different taste in pizza, this was just very, meh. Not a lot of flavor, very dense yet cracker like crust. The location is cute.

Nice little restaurant with eclectic food choices. Pizza, burgers, and gyros all highly recommended.

The pizza was better than the other pizza places we tried locally, just wasn’t a big fan of the sausage which I we just picked off. But highly recommend over the other pizza places!

Hear me out. I'm giving 5 stars because I think it deserves 5 stars. I think my family just made some poor choices and people need to manage their expectations.It's a small restaurant. We (family of 5) arrived when it was empty but it quickly started to fill up. I'm not sure what the situation was or if this is typical but there was only one person waiting tables. Service was faster and friendlier than expected. The woman was very nice, attentive and helpful and looked like she was doing everything right and working as fast as possible. 5/5.Again, it's a small space so that can't be helped. I started to feel a little uncomfortable after a while, but that's more of a personal anxiety issue of mine. Everyone was nice and seemed unbothered by everyone else's presence. There are some cool pictures and wall decor, my son pointed out some of it to me as we chatted waiting for the food. The space is what it is. If you're anxious like me, order it to go and eat on the beach. 5/5Every pizza I watched get served to surrounding tables looked and smelled amazing! If you come here, order pizza! I also saw a lady with the biggest salad I've ever seen! I have no idea what it was but it was so big I'm not sure how you could eat it on one plate. It looked appealing too, try a salad. We ordered onion rings, fried mushrooms and cheesy bread for appetizers, they were all good according to my family. I only had the bread and onion rings. I'm a huge onion ring fan and these were great! The cheesy bread was really cheesy but the bread looked like it was a sub roll. Either way it tasted fine. My daughter loved her cheese pizza, it looked delicious and was big considering it was intended for one person. All of that 5/5Unfortunately, I must be honest and say the burgers and fries aren't a great choice. My son immediately noticed his bun was cold. Not a big deal. The burger itself was hot and seemed well seasoned but it was just dry, possibly because it's a smashed patty. Maybe you can ask for a medium burger, I'm not sure and in their defense we didn't ask when we ordered, although we weren't offered a choice. My husband and son loved the fries. They appear to be seasoned fries and they were very crispy. For me they were too crunchy. This is why I gave food 4 stars. One item out of many was underwhelming.Overall it's a great pizza and apps place with a great atmosphere and service. Us not loving a burger at a pizza place doesn't justify leaving a bad review imo. Definitely give them a try but maybe not the burger.

Ordered for 5 people. Got 3 out of 5 drinks, 1 of 2 salads, spaghetti was cold, got accused that we never ordered the manicotti then found the ticket and we had to wait 20 more mins for horrible food. Never again.
