Pizza reminded me of a fancy Jack's frozen pizza. The food wasn't bad, but there wasn't really anything special about it

We have visited this location twice after many recommendations and were not disappointed!The atmosphere is that of a pizza , wing restaurant with a hint on old class. We have had the pizza which comes in a choice of three crusts, salads, homemade onion rings and garlic cheese bread! Everything is the best of any establishment we have ate at.There is a very nice separated bar area and outside patio.Service was absolutely wonderful on both visitsHighly recommended. Family friendly

Wonderful setting with the best wine!! He had the Shrimp alfredo and I enjoyed the Trio of Italy which was a hug portion. We both had enough to take home a full extra meal. Also the delicious Tiramisu was creamy, smooth and each bite had a rich luxurious taste. They were missing one of the flavors I had ordered so she gave us an extra one whih made the experience even better. A find dining experience with service and food.

The pizza is great. We ordered the double dough. Our toppings were beef, black olives & mushrooms. Plenty of toppings. We ordered a 12 inch. More than plenty for 2 people. The seasoning on the top of the pizza was some type of Italian seasoning. Great taste. This was a delivery. They said it would be 45 minutes. It was more like 30 minutes. We ordered on a Tuesday night at 6 PM. We will order again.
