The food is amazing but they never answer the phone when you call to place an order. So if you want to order to go food, you have to order in person and wait over 20 minutes. If they don't answer their phone, why do they advertise togo ordering and their phone number on their website?

Food was delicious. Got my usual margarita pizza. First time at this location and will be my new date night spot with my toddler. Cool settings and the staff is A1. Very friendly and the place is clean inside and out (bathroom included)
Kid-friendliness: Staff was very nice to my toddler 🙂

We were a large party, they had one cook and a cook in training. One cook, called out Ill. The last pizza for the table came out 1.5 hours after we ordered. The food was delicious, and our waitress was attentive and apologetic. Thank goodness we weren't in a hurry.
