“I got it delivered. Ordered a variety of items to see what they are all about. It's a bit pricey but they seems to use quality ingredients. I havent smelled Pizza like that since the 90s. The wings were OK, apple pie was OK, spinach dip was OK. The best thing is I had was the pizza. I would get the pizza again. You can even get a half and half pizza.“

“I placed an online order for take out. Right when it was ready to be picked up we had an emergency situation arise, they said they understood and would keep our pizza warm for us. An hour or so later they called me and asked if they could just deliver it free of charge. They brought it to us even though we live at the edge of their delivery area. Everyone I dealt with was extremely kind and professional. Wether you like the food or not those people deserve the business just for being good humans and caring about others.“

Try the Chicken Acuto, black beans, peppers, corn salsa with a perfectly grilled chicken breast. Don't forget the Key Lime Pie. Ask for Kevin as your server, you'll love him.“
