This place is absolutely amazing. First time trying it. We got the pizza and it was delicious and they are not shy on the cheese which we loved. We also got the onion rings that were also excellent. The ranch dressing was by far the best I have ever had- made in house! We are now making it a family tradition going once a week. This place is truly a hidden gem.
This is a takeout review. All food is eaten fresh in the vehicle. I ordered a pepperoni pizza and garlic bread with cheese. The bread was liberally spread with garlic butter and was quite enjoyable. The pizza was good, a decent sauce and OK crust but the cheese just dragged everything out of the pizza and into the box. On a scale from 0-10 I would rate this 7.9.
I have never eaten here before , but of my goodness!!! It was amazing The freshest cheeses!!!! Mmmmmmm Great place!! The cashier was so pleasant and friendly. Easy to joke with as well. Sorry I forgot her name, but she was outstanding!
I went here with my grandparents as a kid. Best grinders and pizza ever. Great memories.
