This is the best most authentic pizza I’ve had since living in Italy. The staff was also very considerate. Update: The tiramisu is also phenomenal!

I’m giving this place five stars because the food was so good even the spinach arugula salad was excellent and I love the dressing! Atmosphere needs improvement, kids screaming no music kind of bland… If they could at least play music there, it would at least fade out some of the screaming kids. I would definitely go back, but it would be takeout.

We had to go. Ordered Uber eats. Surprisingly when the food arrived it was hot, crispy and really good. It satisfied my taste buds for sure.

Had a glass of wine while I waited for my pizzas and it was worth the wait! I enjoyed every bite

I ordered a custom calzone and it came out pretty weird. I’ve never had a calzone so…wet? It seems like the dough was a little too thin and cutting into it every time the liquid was just pouring out of it. All of the spinach was piled in the middle in a big heap so I’m not sure if that was the problem but other than that, the smoked chicken also had a strange taste and I mostly avoided it. I also had a cannoli that was really tasty but other than that I probably wouldn’t come back based on this experience. Especially not when the calzone I made came out to $16. Why are cheap ingredients like spinach, garlic and onion $1.50 each to add??

Never disappointed by this place! I’ve tried many pizzas here + a custom pasta bowl & salads. You receive a lot of food for the $. But I have to say, the “Northerner Pizza” is phenomenal. The description says “shaved beef”, but it’s more like a shaved pot roast! Sublime flavor on a cold, grey, damp day hanging out at home in your PJ’s!
