Family owned, same location for years. Food is always made to order, you can see them prepare your order with an open kitchen. Great friendly atmosphere, old world Italian decor. Never had a bad meal. Our women's Poly Towne Club went there monthly for years before we disbanded. We even had our last meeting there. They've struggled since the pandemic and they've complied with all the requirements for safety. This place has always been clean even the restrooms. Very family oriented with even a pinball machine and crayons and place mats with activities for children. My favorite place for the best

I only order pizza here, and the Hawaiian pizza is the best I have ever had. Sauce to the edge, lots of toppings and lots of cheese. More toppings than any of the chain pizza shops.

Want to try it again, maybe. Had it delivered and it had zero flavor and was ice cold. The garlic bread is pretty much the worst we've ever had. Going to have to try it again there. Threw almost all if it away
