The mozzarella is imported regularly and I am forever ruined because store bought pales in comparison! Everything was delicious, the staff was amazing, and the atmosphere was intimate and romantic. We look forward to dining there again soon.“

Maybe they were tired since we got there a little before 8 and they close at 9 however we went there a similar time and had much better food I asked for medium well steak and it was beyond well done and the Mac and cheese was not hitting. The bacon wrapped scallops were good and my pineapple martini was watered down bad . I will be back next year and hopefully the experience will be like I am used to“

“Always a comfy place to go, staff is always pretty friendly and helpful. They've informed me more than once about their specials and how I can get more for less everytime. Do note that at this store you have to BRING YOUR PIZZA HOME, to COOK IT yourself. It's the whole point of the "Take 'N' Bake" experience.. People who leave bad reviews are usually Karens/Kyles who can't read a damn sign. The people here are lovely and I haven't had to wait longer than 10 minutes even when there was a crowd.Vegetarian options: They not only offer vegetarian pizza options, but also vegetarian side dishes and salads during some occasions“

“So I still recommend, still think the staff are the nicest people and still think their food is some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had but…. Disappointed second time in a row. Last time our request for a dish to be mild was missed and tonight, that same dish was inedible. Tough, strings of meat throughout (see image). There was more spit out than made in to our bellies and this dish isn’t cheap but If it’s a quality issue, I’d rather pay a few bucks more but I’m inclined to think it’s an overcooking issue. Thank goodness for the delicious crab Rangoon and please don’t change those.“

This lady was doing 5 jobs and still keeping up with all the phone calls, all her tables, and still was double checking the tables for refills and to make sure everyone got everything they were supposed to get. Amazing experience and I commend this young lady. She can be really big one day. Best service I have ever experienced my whole life! Thank you so much for giving my family a stress free night!

“This isn't Spago. This is a take-out pizza place that has some seating for dine-in. For what it is, I give it five stars. They serve several different types of pizza, but I've only had the NY style crust and the gluten free option. The gluten free option is regarded as the superior gluten free crust from all other rivals in this household. The NY style is a lil' bit thicker than I'm accustomed to, but still really good. Is it pricey? Yeah, a little. Are the pastas and salads a little pedestrian? You betcha. Don't see the five stars and think there's going to be some transformative experience waiting for you -- there isn't. But, compared to similiar places, with similar price points, selling similar products, I'd say it's pretty great. My only gripe is that their specials/promos are for pizzas with one topping... which is wack because everyone knows that it's either plain cheese, or two (or more) toppings. Nobody over 12 years old looks forward to just one topping...“
