This place is closed down. There's nothing in there. Did they move?

This little place off the square was a breakfast place, but they closed and is now a delicious pizza and Italian restaurant! Amazing waitstaff, very attentive, and polite. The food was phenomenal. We ordered a smorgasbord of things! From mozzarella sticks to pepperoni and steak calzones/rolls, pizzas, and salads to cannoli's! It was all a delight! 9/10 I do recommend for Italian eats.

Ordered two pizzas and garlic cheese sticks. Bread sticks were done when we arrived to pick up and getting cold. Also did not receive marinara with bread sticks as the menu states. Deluxe pizza was ordered with no mushrooms or olives. When it came out, employee picked SOME of the remaining olives that he missed before cooking. (See pics) Offered to remake it but I refused as the bread sticks were already cold. Second pizza finished approximately 5 minutes later. Got back to the hotel (5 minute drive) to pick the remaining olives off and eat cold food (bread sticks were over cooked as well) that tasted like olives. No attention to detail by staff and no effort to do it right!

Was told would be 25 minutes, which is no problem. When I got there paid and pizza was on counter. Was not hot or even warm. The cheese was hardened and the peperonis were scarce. High disappointed!

I have given this place multiple chances. My first experience was great. The 2-4 attempts were not. They did not respond to a direct message regarding items they failed to provide and the last 3 times I’ve attempted an order they are out of a major menu item. I wish there was somewhere else in town for Italian. This place has potential but if you can’t serve the menu you should not be open.

This has got to be the best Pizza joint in East Texas! The pies are hand-tossed right in front of you. The toppings are fresh and good quality. The service is good even if they're a bit young. But they are friendly and usually on top of everything even if they're a bit busy. And not that it should matter but the price is affordable! A family of four can eat for less than anything you'd get at a Drive-thru.
Our favorite is the Deluxe pizza. It comes with everything but the kitchen sink and it will serve 4 adults or me and my wife. The stromboli's and calzones are amazing! Definitely more than one person can eat in a sitting. The salads are enormous and not just a bowl of chopped lettuce. Generous portions of toppings included! I try to politely ask them to add a Greek Salad to the menu someday. Their Italian salad is not far off. Just missing Kalamata Olives and Feta cheese, really. The Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake is amazing! I think it was supposed to be a limited time only, but it hasn't gone away yet. Only problem lately is I forget to leave room for dessert.
My wife and I will keep coming back to this little pizza shop and I can't speak praises high enough about them. You should give them a try if you've not been here yet.

Awful customer service. Ordered a large supreme was told 25-30 minutes. Waited an hour and the cook said he was never given a ticket. When we requested a refund the lady said she wasn’t sure they can give refunds and my mother handed them the receipt and the gentleman at the register was trying to call her a liar just an awful experience we won’t be back. Hire better help.

Music was way too loud. Showed up about 3:30 on a Friday. Someone came and took our drink order immediately and after that we sat and waited. And waited, and waited some more. I finally just burst out “where the heck is our waiter?!” After that a young woman showed up to ask if we needed any help. I was afraid but asked for straws and Splenda for our tea. Came back took our order no problems. More waiting which I understand if I am getting delicious food. This was not that. I ordered meatballs parmigiana. They were warm at best and the pasta was very overcooked. Bread came out 6-7 minutes later.also cold. Now I will say this. Our special needs grandson ordered a cheese pizza and when it came he was all upset because there was not “circles” on it. Figured out it was pepperoni and they brought him some out in a bowl. But after that it was a ghost town . People lined up at the register and the kid making pizza never stuck his head in the back to let anyone know, he just let them stand there. So I called the restaurant from my table and he went back to the back then. When they made it up front to answer the phone , I hung up and let the folks lined up at the register get taken care of.
RECAP. Food is subpar, service was terrible and it looked like it was being run by a bunch of teenagers. We will not be back.

This place was a pleasant surprise. Keep in mind that great food that is cooked to order takes time.

The stuffed pizza is Amazing!!! The only issue we had was they forgot the Jalapeño's while putting the pizza together, which was quickly remedied by putting them on the side. My only other recommendation is to upgrade the plate to a higher quality paper or to a glass plate. I cut through mine.

I will definitely be back. It tasted amazing!!!

Food was extremely greasy and small portions. Service was atrocious. Never got my dinner salad and the waitress showed up with breadsticks and the check at the same time. We won’t be back.
