I ran in the other day for a chicken marsala slice for the Mom on my way home from work. They didn't have any but were able to make it for me if I got two of them. Thought about the alternatives but didn't want to disappoint the Mom. What they made right there were the two best slices she had ever received. We are regular customers already. They are consistent and our go to pizza place for family night. Smiles and nice people inside. Great place to support locally.
