“We made a reservation for a party of 8 for my son’s graduation from BTC at Fort Jackson. We arrived a half hour early, ordered a drink at the bar from the very friendly bartender and then were immediately seated despite our early arrival. They seated us in a private room, which was unexpected and absolutely perfect for our celebration. Our waitress was attentive and very helpful. Flatbreads, chicken Parmesan, lasagne, lobster ravioli, chicken Marsala and chicken piccata were all excellent! The manager even stopped in to make sure all our needs were met! The staff truly made this long awaited day very special for our family and we greatly appreciated the good food and warm atmosphere!“

“Offers dine in, carryout, and delivery. We chose to dine in. Seems to be a family run business. They offer pizza by the slice as well as whole pizzas, sandwiches, appetizers, and entrees. Carryout was pretty busy but we decided to dine in. Both the regular and gluten-free pizzas were great. I ordered a medium, probably should have gone with a small, as it was a lot of food. Definitely one of the better pizzas we have had in Columbia. We will be back.“

The breadsticks are definitely a highlight - warm, soft, and consistently good 🥖

It’s best to stick with the pasta though, since the pizza is just okay in comparison. Overall, it’s a dependable choice for fast, budget-friendly comfort food 👍“
