It was just two of us and they explained their options available for slices and then what other options they had on the menu as well. We got three slices of pepperoni and one slice of their "the bird" pizza with buffalo chicken, green onions and blue cheese along with some of their garlic knots. IT WAS ALL GREAT!” - Yelp Review

They meticulously cook the pizza and there wasn't a single burnt edge - the gentleman working the counter was so friendly.  I ordered the Hawaiian (I know - pineapple on pizza... how dare I) it was sooooo good!” - Yelp Review
