    As always, the food was amazing! We had two different pizzas and a salad and brought some of the pizza home because it’s quite a bit and everything was wonderful. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is the service was a little slow and it was really cold out so they brought us a blanket, but it took a long time to get it. We’ll definitely be going back in for the food and ambiance and everything. 😊

    Delicious food. (Only thing I’d change is add a pizza with chicken on it or some other protein other than pepperoni)

    As always, the pizza and salad were delicious. staff are very friendly and welcoming. However, the wings were not so good. The harissa sauce, not tasty at all. Won’t be ordering them again.

    My partner and I had a wonderful Sunday night date here! We booked for the weekend following Valentine’s Day so availability was limited. However, we were so happy we got a time slot. The food is amazing. The garlic bread was one of the best we’ve had. Pizza was incredible too, especially the Smoky Vodka. The crust is almost like a croissant/focaccia. Amazing service and quality as ingredients are locally sourced. We will be telling our friends/families and will be back soon.
