We are regular customers and will continue to be. Pizza in this place is good with excellent service. Our waiter always greets us with a smile. We always have a good time being here

Second time, just as good as the first. Had the gluten-free crust with prosciutto and spicy pancetta (since the pepperoni is not gluten-free). I'm already looking forward to our next visit.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free

I've loved pizza my whole life, and these were definitely on the top of my list. I eat all kinds of pizza, pan pizza, thin crust, stuffed crust, homemade, frozen, New York style, Chicago style, Italian pizza, Canadian pizza, etc., honestly speaking, pizza is just so versatile that I personally believe anything can be added on it. I've never seen a pizza menu with 77+ flavors. Besides the pizza per se, the highlight of the experience to me was the fact that they served olive oil and red chili pepper flakes on the side, which made me feel like it was a "healthier cheat meal". Thank you for the great experience. Servers were so nice as well! Will be back there again!P.s. We didn't make a reservation, but we noticed there were people queueing up to get in after 6pm.

First off, nobody informs you that they sell pizza by the slice. We were told that it was one pizza per person (we were a family of 2 adults and 2 children). We ordered 3 pizzas for the 4 of us, and it was WAY too much. Ended up throwing away at least half a pizza (and spending much more than we would’ve had to). To our surprise, lots of tables were ordering by the slice! This seemed deceptive to us from the waiter’s part. We guessed he figured we were tourists. <Enter eye roll here> ?Anyhow, on to the pizza: The pizzas were great. All of them. Not too thin, not too thick, brick oven fired pizza, with lots of flavors and great all around taste.The place: Not a place for a date, that’s for sure. No decor, no frills and very casual. Just a normal pizza place that is good for families, groups and maybe business meetings if looking for a very casual setting. For those in wheelchairs, be aware that the bathrooms are one floor below the restaurant with only a steep stairway to use.Vegetarian options: Selection of Vegetarian pizzas.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: No access to restrooms.

Really disappointed and sad. It was better before, it was a flagship destination but the restaurant has lost quality. We ordered a Margherita and a pizza with lots of vegetables. It looked like a Margherita from Domino's Pizza and vegetables from Costco. I used to order the one with truffles, luckily I didn’t do it this time! We are really disappointed with the quality! We won't come back again. It seems that since Covid the quality is no longer, and this everywhere. Sorry for this review but we are really very disappointed! Disgusted to have paid $60 for this. On the other hand, good service, very friendly gentlemen.

I had a waiter that deliberately delayed my service, from getting my food to getting my bill. I stormed out of there in anger and didn’t get his name.Everything else was perfect from the other staff and waiters smiling and greeting you to the food, I had number 77 and it was perfect and also I had a cheese cake, paid around 40$

Great food! Mom and I split a pizza and salad. They kindly split it before serving to us. Everyone was very kind. Sangria and cannoli was also good. Great spot!

Wait was long as they don’t take reservations and you simply have to wait in a line outside. Food was tasty… I’d go back for more one day. Not very big inside and kind of crammed.

One of the best pizzas in town. Ordered for pick up, pizzas were fresh, hot and super tasty. Size and garnish are also generous.
