Wow very happy customers here.  We we are visiting for baseball tournament and wanted some good pizza and we got it.  Thanks Bryd for the great service and delicious food.  We lived the Garlic Knots and the Italian Special was perfect.  Thanks again and wish we had your place in Freeport Fl.

The pizza was a 10/10 and the service was exceptional.  We had a really nice waiter as well. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too busy.

Dealing with rude staff not worth the mediocre food.

Ordered a slice of pizza for my kid online as they didn’t like anything on the menu where I’d ordered my own food from and this place was right around the corner.

We were ignored for several minutes trying to pick it up and when the miserable woman behind the counter could finally be bothered to pause her conversation to speak to us, she had an attitude as if WE were inconveniencing HER by patiently waiting almost 20 minutes for one cold slice of sub-Sbarro’s quality pizza from a nearly empty restaurant.

I only said “yes” and my name to her the entire time we were there and she literally yelled in my face because I apparently didn’t answer her question the way she wanted lol. Created a great teaching moment to remind my child how we do and do not speak to others though.

Such a bizarre first and last experience. Glad I only spent a few dollars here, but they would’ve been better spent at Domino’s to be honest.

Yikes.

My husband found this restaurant on local flavors, so we decided to give it a try. It's a little hard to get in and out with traffic. It was pretty busy for a weekday (dine-in and pick-up), so I took that as a good sign. The menu is a lot to take in, so it took a while to decide what to get. I ordered the house stromboli. It was completely stuffed with toppings and cheese and hot! The marinara sauce was chunky which I liked. The sprite tasted fresh. Some restaurants have flat or off tasting fountain drinks, but not here. Now the menu says the cheesecake has assorted flavors, but when we asked our server, she let us know it's plain cheesecake. The taste was different but not in a bad way. The texture is really creamy and smooth...almost softened butter like. I'm convinced the crust is nilla wafer and not graham cracker which was a pleasant surprise! I wish there was a strawberry or maybe blueberry fruit topping.

The pizza is so delicious, whenever I’m around the area a grab a large and save what I don’t eat for later. I crave the veggie pizza & cheesy garlic knots. Truly yummy. The caprese is fresh. Everything tastes so good!
