Our favourite place to order pizza! Mom and pop vibe. Fresh and delicious pizza and pasta. Our regular order is the deluxe or Mexican pizza. Excellent customer service. I havent been in person so cant comment on atmosphere.

I really LOVE this place. I am not that recurrent as I would love to cuz live a little bit far from there, but when I have the time to go, I go! When I was pregnant, I was craving the Hawaiian pizza all the time. Now my kids are 10, and they love the pasta that is served here! I definitely will try to go more often!

Got the beef lasagna, which was bland and lacked the meaty chunkiness of a good homemade lasagna. Also got their homemade tiramisu for dessert, which was soft and creamy but a bit too sweet for my tastes.
Bonus points for the kind service.
