    The pizza was very good here and staff was amazing. There were plenty of choices for drinks on tap. The floors were dirty, but in all fairness we came an hour before closing and the place was well attended. The TV's playing sports were in the need of updating. Overall, it's a fun place to grab a slice.

    Just wanted to put a little review about their pizza and man it was delicious everyone loved it. Portion was huge compared to others but the price a bit more maybe because of the size difference. We ordered online and the time was on top. Will likely order again as a big family.

    The pizzas and salad we had were delicious. They had a generous amount of toppings. The ingredients were high-quality. The pizzas had a thin crust. There was no option for a thicker crust. The sodas were ridiculously priced at $3.25 and the mix didn’t taste exactly right. The seating area was a dump. Worn out carpet, dated furnishings, ripped, upholstery and loud swamp cooler. It was also dark. I would recommend this place as a takeout only. Also, I didn’t like that they charge 4% extra if you usde a credit card to pay.
