After my kids' soccer tournament, we decided to take the team out to a pizzeria nearby for a nice meal together after three intense games. The reviews online seemed decent, so we thought, “Why not give it a try?” Unfortunately, I regret not walking out the moment we stepped in.

The waitress's attitude was the first red flag. From the moment we mentioned we were a group of 16, she looked visibly stressed and acted annoyed. She tossed the menus onto the table—everything felt thrown at us, not handed with care. Despite the rocky start, we decided to stay and ordered our food.

Then came the second issue. We were told the boys needed to stay quiet because they were expecting a reservation soon. Mind you, we were seated next to a bar area where patrons were loudly watching a football game. It felt unfair and inconsistent to single out our group for noise when the environment itself was bustling and lively.

When the food arrived, I’ll admit the quality was great, but the service left much to be desired. The reservation group finally showed up, and the difference in treatment was stark. The waitress was all smiles, pleasant, and accommodating with them—a complete 180 from how we were treated. Frankly, I felt discriminated against.

To make matters worse, while some of our guests were still eating, she came by *four times* to ask if we wanted the check, making it clear she wanted us out. We felt rushed, unwelcomed, and uncomfortable. However, when it came time to process our payment, her demeanor shifted—she suddenly became more attentive and friendly, likely in hopes of earning a better tip.

As someone who has worked in customer service for over 15 years, I know how critical good service is, especially for larger parties where gratuity can make a difference. Unfortunately, this was the *worst* customer service I have ever experienced. What could have been a celebratory team outing was overshadowed by the rudeness and unprofessional behavior of our server.

I won’t be returning and can’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a welcoming dining experience.

We stopped in for dinner at Chrone’s Trattoria to try the food since it’s under new management now. It was SO good!! I got the Greek salad with chicken cutlet and onion rings. Everything was so fresh. I can’t wait to come back- their menu includes a ton so an easy place to go with friends for a great meal. Definitely check it out!

The food was not worth the price! The sauce is terrible and the wings were dried out.

Stopped in after dropping someone off at the airport. We ordered a half pepperoni half cheese pizza. It was delicious, the crust was thin and crispy. Great amount of cheese, and the sauce was perfect. The staff was friendly and super sweet to our 2 small children. Bathrooms were clean, atmosphere was friendly.

Very cool bar with attached restaurant. Very cool, salt of the earth bar with plenty of televisions. The staff is friendly, interactive, and helpful. The bar pie is awesome! Highly recommend the Sicilian pie (which is more akin to a grandma pie), thin crust and cooked to perfection. You won't be disappointed here, and the prices are very reasonable.

1 for 1. Got the white pie with ricotta and it did not disappoint. Thin with good strength; doesn’t fall apart. And flakey crust, almost like a saltine cracker, but with good flavor. Hidden gem

Food was amazing. Each one of us tried something different. My chicken sandwich was a delicious great recommendation from the waitress there that day. Waitress, although I can't remember her name, was on top of our table and making sure we had everything we needed at all times. Highly recommend
