Spectacular. From the first bite, you can tell they use quality ingredients, not just what a distributor pushes their way.The building is well remodeled with a red brick veneer wall, nice furnishings, great lighting, and an outdoor seating area.The staff was very courteous and attentive, even when the Friday rush arrived as we were finishing our meal. Our server was well versed on the meals, their ingredients, prep, and provided helpful recommendations.Our appetizer was the meatballs. Made on site, the meat was flavorful but lean. The sauce made my wife go "wow," and the cheese was fresh and delicious. The appetizer arrived well before the meal, so we could enjoy it without being rushed.My wife ordered a Detroit pizza while I ordered the Johnny Boy sandwich. The waitress immediately asked and recommended ricotta cheese for the pizza, an excellent recommendation. The pizza arrived, well more than 1 person could eat, with a perfect buttery deep pan crust, a great sause, and again cheeses that were definately not from a distributor as they were fresh and with a complex flavor profile not found in something from a restaurant distributor.My Johnny Boy sandwich had thinly sliced meats cooked perfectly. The peppers were also cooked perfectly with a fully cooked flavor in a pepper slice that still was firm without being crunchy. The bread was so distinctive I shared a tear off with my wife, again something deliberately chosen by the chef for its quality. The fries were comparable to those from 5 Guys without being excessively oily.The waitress said the restaurant has been in this location for 4 years, unfortunately we just found it today. A fantastic addition to the Valparaiso food scene.

Great food and attentive staff. The inside dining area is one large rectangle so it can get loud.Parking: Parking is at a premium next to the building, but you can pay to park on the street.

We ordered it to go, got it home and it was fantastic! We like the crumbled sausage, the crust was also crispy, just how we like it. We will definitely be returning for more.

Very enjoyable, the food is excellent. If you walk out hungry, it's your own fault. The portion are generous and the prices are fair. The staff is pleasant. The out door seating is nice on good weather days. Enjoy.

The food and service were wonderful! Our only qualm was the volume and commotion of the restaurant. There were 3 different TVs all playing something different, a radio on, and several large groups of people talking over each other. Go at a less busy time of day if overstimulation is a concern for your or kiddos.Kid-friendliness: Pita pizza was adorable. Fries were amazing.
