We LOVE this place. Hands down our favorite pizza place! We drive 40 minutes one way just to get it. Perfectly cooked, crispy crust, fresh ingredients. They also have great chicken wings (were from Buffalo).

The pizza and calzone was amazing. Ingredients where top notch. Loved the crumble sausage. Reminded me of the sausage they use on bar style pizza in Chicago. Cool atmosphere. Clean Kitchen. They even had rad pizza themed stickers available for purchase.

Been here many times. Never disappointed. Always excellent food and friendly service. Ignore the negative reviews as they are always from losers looking for something free.
