    Great thin and thick crust pizza. Tha salads are wonderful to share as your custom made pizza cooks . Drinks are generous with a good selection of wine and beer. TVs provide sports entertainment and their party rooms are great for parties .

    We ordered the large deep dish classic pizza. It was delicious. The size is pretty large. They estimate that you will eat two slices per person, so you will take some home if you aren’t big eaters. We also ordered a Caesar salad and everyone agreed it was one of the best that we’d had.

    Alison, Thank you for dining with us and your five star review! Happy you and your group enjoyed the pizza and Caesar salad! We hope to see you again soon!

    We arrived to celebrate my son’s bootcamp graduation. He wanted a deep dish pizza and this place had the most excellent reviews. We have no complaints every dish was perfection.

    Solid deep dish pizza. Great service. Seating area in the front of the restaurant was too crowded and too cold, though.
