This is a small but very cozy pizza/restaurant. I had their Stromboli which which was really good. My suggestion would be to have a little more distance or some sort of plexiglass between booths since we are in the thick of Covid 19 .

Food was not good; even the bread did not taste good. I may come back to see if I was wrong, but I will never recommend this place

I'm being generous with the four I ordered their vegetarian pizza. Frozen pizza it's just a as good. Nothing special. Not going back again. I gave it a four cuz it is so hard to find good pizza in this area. And I'm still looking.

Friend and I had eggplant parmesan and chicken parmesan. Flavor was fair, portion size left more to be desired. The homemade Italian dressing was bland. Dated atmosphere. Service was ok, friendly and checked in. Seems overpriced.
