“It has been many years since we have been to Olive Garden. Let me tell you the experience we had last night was awesome. We had a server who was brand new so she was a little off, but she was very good. The food was fantastic. Really had a good time and a good celebration.Kid-friendliness: There is a high emphasis on kids. When we arrived, we asked real quickly for a mac & cheese and a spaghetti dinner for the two little ones and that came right away along with orange juice and lemonade. Plus they had some crayons and something to color right off the bat.“

“Made a reservation for a birthday, party of ten. They had us all set up in a big room with a server ready to go as soon as I got there. Wine glasses, ice buckets c water, etc. Emily was a gem! Service was perfect. We all ordered different items. Everyone loved their food. I had the shrimp francais. Best I ever had, and I'm picky because I cook a lot. Food was nice and hot . After dinner our plates were cleared and Emily wrapped all our leftovers for us. Highly recommend Pietros for your next dinner choice .“

“Some people love fast food, I love pizza! This place has been around forever and I always heard such great things. When my daughter was a senior during the pandemic they had an adopt a senior program and the senior I adopted wanted a Ray's pizza because he loved it. Finally I got a chance to try it out. I'm not going to lie it's a bit of a dive but clean.The people are extremely pleasant and it seemed to be a family run business.Straight out of the oven our delicious thin crusted pizza came out and we started to drool just a little. Compared to some thin crust pizza places I would consider this pizza to be medium in crust, they used real cheese because the pizza actually had oil coming off.A bunch of pizza places have got cheap using cheap mozzarella or adding provolone,this place used good cheese! The first slice I had was delicious but after that the second the sauce was a little sweet. I think I devoured my first slice. Overall this pizza place deserves a solid 4!!I would definitely go again.“
