    *Truly* so delicious! We enjoyed the sweet and sour square pizza and it was one of the better pizzas I’ve had, as it was incredibly flavorful! Will absolutely be coming back here often.

    We chose a later lunch time and it was perfect. We sat upstairs outside and it was a delight. Our waitress was very knowledgeable, friendly and enjoyed joining in on our crazy conversations. We brought a bottle and paid the corkage fee. From chicken wings to fresh sake to the spicy pepperoni there was not a piece of food left to take home. I will say the last time I went I did have a few slices left over and I ate it the next morning, not even heated and it was excellent.

    I was hoping this would be the next pizzeria Mozza, but they’ve got a way to go. Crust was good but strangely brittle without good chew, salads had some nice ingredients and well plated but house salad could’ve been larger and more flavorful. Dessert selection seems intentionally and bizarrely meager, presumably to turn tables faster. Staff was perfectly nice but definitely needs polishing up.

    The food and the service are great. Really nice server and he made some great recommendations. Only downside is most of the restaurant is outside so bring a jacket. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
