“ Despite being small... This place makes some very good and flavorful fare. I ordered a hand tossed pie with 4 toppings. And Garlic knots. *Chef's kiss!* Pizza was awesome. Garlic knots were delicious. But what made it all even better was the young lady (Monse) that was warm, friendly, and conversational. I will most definitely be back. ”
“ Javier was amazing! It was our first time, so we had a lot of questions about specials, prices, best choices, etc and he was tremendously patient with us. In this area most restaurants close early, so options are slim for late night especially on a Sunday. Thanks Javier, we appreciate you! Ms. B The food was delicious, prices were reasonable, but the great customer service (which is mandatory) was priceless. While good food is fine, if you have bad customer service we don't come back. Javier was friendly while still be professional. This will definitely be one of our first go to places especially for late night eating. We highly recommend!! ”
“ 1st time here. I ordered the slice of pizza combo, and the fries and pizza were spot on delicious. This pizza instantly became a favorite. The gentleman that took my order, Javier is awesome. He is very professional, polite, anr attentive. I went to sit down and before I knew it, he was bringing my food to where I was sitting. That was very nice of him and I want him to know that I really appreciate the excellent service that he provided. I am definitely coming back, and recommending you to my family, co-workers, and friends. ”
“ Manager (I think) helped me out when I was selling chocolate! Although my product was deformed at the time haha but when he found out I was selling, he said he loves hustlers & that meant a lot; he even bought them too! Nice guy & God bless their buisness, their family, their hustling too lots of love 11/10 would recommend ”
“ I’m a truck driver and my company yard is down the street , last time I was in town I tried morettis and wasn’t impressed . So this time I saw this place looked at the menu and reasonably priced . Places and order calzone and wings and let me tell you they don’t have food like this in Florida where I’m from . For the price of what I paid I have enough for lunch for next day . Definitely great food as a former chef I can say the ingredients and flavor were on point , and the wings to die for . Will definitely be back 1/23/25 . ”
“ We originally found out about this place through social media. We decided to try it out and have enjoyed it since. I met Javier and he’s one of the few people that acknowledge you the second you walk into a restaurant. Very friendly staff, when you have a question about a specific item on the menu, they deeply explain and makes me feel like they care about their customers and about the food they make. I would recommend this place to the people that love a late night snack and love to have a good meal. Very fast and amazing quality food that other places cannot top even if they tried. ”
“ Visiting the state and staying nearby and we decided to have lunch to meet up with some friends here and the service was incredible! The person who took our order was so patient with us and incredibly welcoming and friendly! We got the deep dish pizza and it was AMAZING, it was our first time trying deep dish pizza and it did not disappoint! The buffalo wings were also INCREDIBLE and much larger than we anticipated so we brought some back to our airbnb and the rest of our pizza. Very reasonable prices and delicious food paired with amazing, friendly staff and excelent service! Highly recommend this place. thank you! ”
