                                          PIZZA

                                          Our pizza is a modern expression of the Roman classic. Handcrafted dough is fermented for 72 hours and baked at high temperature ensuring an incredibly light and airy crust. We offer square and round pizzas finished with only the finest ingredients, including our house-made mozzarella, and perfectly cut with artisan scissors.

We got the firebird pizza and it was very good but there was not much to the toppings - was mostly bread with a small layer of toppings. We also got the cup and char circle pizza - very good - lots of pepperoni.

My order was wrong and the server had it remade. I did ask for bread while I waited. The server did not come by to refill our water or drinks until we finished eating. Other diners had water bottles let on their tables, we did not. Food was good but we did have to ask for salt and pepper.

It was really loud i could barely here my daugher who i sat next to just so I could try hear her better. Our table also woobled the entire time. Food and drinks overpriced and mediocre. The place is packed and tables are too close you feel like your sitting right on top of other people. And metal chairs eww. I probably will not return.

They were perfectly cooked & the sauce provided was on the bottom of the dish. This made it possible for me to control the amount of sauce I wanted. Don’t you hate it when your food comes smothered in sauce? For my main dish, I had the Strip steak. It was the best steak I’ve eaten in a long while! Cooked exactly the way I wanted it, and delicious!
