The ginger berry lemonade is also a must-try. It’s fast, modern, and the vibe is cool – perfect for a quick lunch or casual dinner.“

“I grew up eating from here with my mom, and it is one of the few places I remember from my childhood that is still going. I visited here yesterday for the first time since the makeover, and I really like the new look. Not only that, the service was awesome! I am back today for the Wednesday special....get any double for the price of a single! I am a lifetime customer!!!“

“Pizza is amazing. The sauce is so so so good. But my order receipt shows 2 two liters of soda but when they showed up with one it only showed one. Kinda hard when traveling. Just hoping I’m charged amount on receipt that was dropped off. But amazing pizza from a Chicago boy.“

“From the moment you walk in - the warm welcome from the awesome staff to the very chic decor and once the food came - The salmon was The Best Salmon - cooked to perfection accompanied by a salad. A fun night and don’t miss the entertainment #funfunfun @lindaslist“

“Thier Veggie 🍕Pizza is the best hands down.“

“The people who work here are so incredibly friendly, funny and engaging with customers. They are so welcoming and make you feel part of the family. So far we have exclusively eaten the pizza bc in our humble opinion its thee best in the area which is saying something bc Jerzy pizza rivals NYC pizza. I am going to encourage Mr. PORTNOY "one bite" to come and try Robert's pizza. The sauce is banging, the cheese is hot with incredible pull and the crust is soft enough to eat easily yet still has a nice crunch. You can ask them to leave it in the oven for an extra minute or two if you want a crisper bottom bc sometimes the sauce and cheese is so good and so hot it can weigh down the slice if the bottom isn't crisp enoughAll depends on your own preference. I give the 6$ two plain slices and a drink deal a 8.9. I give the people a 10.❤ ????‍??‍?? ??

Vegetarian options: Tons of different options on their menu and you can even look and order online

Parking: If you cant find a spot on new st there are plenty of car parks“

“We stayed at a hotel nearby and wanted the typical Dominican (tres golpe) breakfast so I found this restaurant online.
The food was great and service was 5/5. They had a lot of variety, my husband had the chicken soup and it was delicious too! Definitely stop by.“

“Thank you to Steve and staff for hosting our corporate holiday luncheon!“

“First time here. Great experience. We got there right at 5 pm when they opened on a Saturday. Got table right away. 20 mins later place was packed with long wait. Wait staff was awesome. Annette stopped by our table numerous times and was fun to talk too and welcoming. Shrimp beeps were our favorite. Eggplant was awesome. Garlic pasta and savoy chicken were so tasty. Could not have been more pleased. Great prices too. Old school atmosphere that is fun to experience. But it’s not a place you can linger, you eat and go. Highly recommend for good simple Italian food.“

“Great wine different flights to sample. You can even buy bottles“

“awesome food, great service!“

“was the most flavorful pizza I've ever eaten. grandmother pizza is the name“

“I've been to the all-you-can-eat restaurant a few times and really liked it. But today I was disappointed because I really wanted to eat a pizza with catupiry, so I called and ordered a pizza with catupiry and they sent it to me with cream cheese. They didn't tell me that it didn't have catupiry... It only had cream cheese. Otherwise, the pizza is delicious, just be careful with catupiry if you like it...“

“Only came to pick up their version of smash burgers and was pleasantly surprised to find out how popular their pizza is. (Yes it's a pizza shop, but not MY pizza shop) The homemade cookies are worth coming in for but don't be surprised if they're gone.“
