Had a terrific pizza - tomato and buffalo sauce with pepperoni and chicken. It was like having pizza and hot wings at the same time. Yum! Also, looks like a great place to work. Saw young adults having a good time pushing out those pies. Cheers to the staff!

We took the family and stopped by for dinner and wanted to try a restaurant we never visited.  Unfortunately I didn't have my phone to get some snapshots of the restaurant nor of the food.

We arrived just before the dinner rush, so we were seated immediately.  The waitress was friendly and patient with us as everyone was undecided on what they wanted.  We ended up ordering two small pizzas (which came out steaming hot with oozing cheese), a calzone (nice crunchy crust and not too much crust so the ingredients balanced just right), a chicken parmesian (which our son inhaled, he really enjoyed it), and a pasta dish for our oldest daughter.

The dining area felt cozy (we were seated at a booth) and it wasn't too loud.  They have your choice of indoor or outdoor seating and the dining area was very clean.

Prices are about mid- to high- range, but well worth it.  We look forward to another visit as the food was quite tasty.
