Great little pizzeria. Outstanding service, polite and friendly staff. Superior dough fermentation doesn't make you feel bloated after eating the pizza. I loved the little touch of authenticity when ordering coffee. The coffee comes in an old school percolator and you pour it yourself. Love it!! Do yourself a favour and pop in. You won't be disappointed.

The food was delicious. It was my daughter's 17th birthday and it was made a memoable one. The service was really good too and the food came quickly.
