One of my favorite pizza places! This time, our pizzas had very little sauce. I asked for extra on the side and then it was great!

Today for the first time, my Pizza was overly cooked. Crossed was very hard. Waitress was very nice and immediately recognized this. She tried to compensate us with to go cookies and a free dessert. Service in general is very good. I expect this to be a one off situation.

This is my go to place for pizza. Sat 3pm reservation seated immediately. Restaurant was empty. However we had slow service, pizza must’ve been sitting out for a while. Brought to the table cold. Disappointing experience!

We ordered a medium thin crust and a medium deep dish. Both brought to our table with thin crust cold, deep dish Luke warm. Server never checked on his nor asked if we needed refills. We always go here and were disappointed in service and food.
