Nice little pizza shop that could be great. The first thing I noticed is that the restaurant was very clean and well maintained. Tables were all wiped down and glass was spotless. The menu was a little difficult to navigate as there was no way to determine how many people each size pizza would feed and the staff was not interested in helping to make any ordering decisions. They were friendly enough, just not very engaged. They offer a daily lunch special of one slice for $6 which is actually a good deal as the slice is very large. On a short lunch break, it would be nice to have lunch options such as a slice and a soda for $8 or two slices . I noticed a couple in the restaurant who split a salad and a small pizza and it seemed to be a good amount for a lite lunch. My slice (the daily special) was a reheated slice of Peperoni with all the other topping added before going back into the oven. The re-heating of slices is very common in pizza restaurants and the quality of the slice was still great this way. The dough was crispy, chewy, and flavorful. The problem I had was that the extra toppings were just piled high on top and falling off. It was fine, just a little strange. I think with a little more focus by the employees and the addition of a clear lunch menu, this place could be be a great place to stop for a quick lunch. It seems that ordering a full pizza is the way to go and that those who know the menu better seem to find what they are looking for. I'll certainly give it another try when I have time to wait for a full pie.

Ordered pizza here and the chicken fingers. The pizza was not good and very disappointing. It didn't even have a layer of cheese on it. The sauce layer was so thin, it didn't even cover the crust where there was no cheese. It was burnt. So dry it was difficult to eat. I couldn't finish it. I will not go here again. I am gluten sensitive and the chicken fingers upset my stomach for a couple days, despite being marked GF. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone who needs gluten free food, despite it appearing like options are available.

The inside is nice, but we loved the patio seating since it was pretty cold inside. The staff made our experience amazing with how welcoming they were. The gluten free cheese bread and gluten free Sicilian pizza were delicious. Both are very crispy with the perfect amount of fluffiness inside. The peanut butter brownie was the icing on top for me loving this restaurant. I highly recommend coming here if you are gluten free, but you must be open to trying a non traditional type of pizza since the texture of the Sicilian and gf cheese bread is different. We will definitely be back for more!
