We stopped in late at night for the first time and decided to have a bite to eat in-house before taking the rest home. As other reviews mention, the restaurant itself isn't much to look at: tiny, basic seating. But hey, it's a primarily take-out pizza place! You shouldn't expect too much for the atmosphere. Service was very friendly.After a VERY good garlic cheese bread appetizer, I was looking forward to The Classic small pizza - pepperoni, mushroom, sausage. It was the blandest pizza I have ever had in my entire life. Shockingly bland. I am pretty sure they don't salt their mushrooms, and they use BIG mushrooms. Actually, I'm not sure anything in my dish touched salt. It was that bad.On the flip side, my husband got a Tandoori Chicken pizza and said it was incredibly flavorful! I'm usually the one who is very tolerant of blander food, whereas my husband has a high bar for flavor. So the Tandoori must have been really excellent. What in the world happened with mine, I wonder?

Great food, super friendly service, it is so nice to have had this food experience, it is so delicious, I ordered the Tandoori Chicken pizza and the South African pizza(steak with bbq sauce) omg it was the highlight of my day!! Tao or Tayo, I'm sorry if I spell your name wrong, but your service was so welcoming and friendly!! I highly recommend this place! (P.s. I'm the guy who parked the red semi truck in the front of the restaurant, I couldn't find parking because the truck is too big, but i had to try the food! Thanks again for the nice experience and great food!)

Edit : I’m telling you I’ll sue .read the whole reviewI was a regular customer for over 3 months, almost daily, and there was a lady working there. She was a really nice lady, and I’ll say the man worker is nice too and liked eating there. I spent like 50 dollars regularly on the Moroccan pizza, the tandoori pizza, and other stuff. The days I didn’t feel like going outside at midnight, I'd just order delivery. One time I placed an order for pickup, and I picked it up, and they gave me two pizzas that were not cooked for even 5 minutes and made me sick for days. When I called the man who works there, he told me he couldn't refund me, and when I called again, he told me he'd call the owner tomorrow. The next day, he told me the owner was traveling and he would let him know next day. After three days, he told me he couldn't, and the owner told him no, and I told him I'd sue If I don’t get my money back, he thought it was funny and laughed for a second, and I told him again to let the owner know that I’ll sue, but he didn’t take me seriously. I told some friend I know I was going to sue, and he told me not to because the owner is a nice guy and not a cheater, and maybe he wasn’t really told and that I should try to have a settlement with him. I would like to add that I have the day of the incident, pictures of the food, the date and time, and also videos. I’m glad I have all this evidence, and I wanted this to be the last warning to get this solved and have a settlement before I sue. I have suffered physical pain from eating here and also refused a refund, and I'd like to have a settlement with the owner, or I’ll sue. This caused me physical pain and also caused me to lose Money and prevented me from getting money back , this happened last year. I was going to start legal action but the lawyer and also my friend told me to take this step first and my friend kept telling me the owner is a good guy and I should let him know directly first . So I’m here trying and I’ll give this a month of wait and if there is no response. I’ll have my lawyer start legal actions .

The people were as nice as they could possibly be! Does not offer much of a dine-in experience. It was really cold in restaurant and no restrooms. You order at the counter and it's brought over to your table. Salad was delicious, pizza was good.

I have ordered the pizza and the Stromboli. For some reason, to me, the Stromboli is better. It’s tastes like my childhood. Good classic pizza. I get off after 11pm and it’s nice to get fresh hot pizza so late. The staff is ALWAYS friendly when I pick up. Workers are smiling and swift to greet you.I will order here again for sure!!!!

A little expensive, but where else are you gonna get a pizza made fresh at 4am? That convenience comes at a cost, but the pizza is absolutely phenomenal, so if you're hungry and everything else is closed you can't go wrong

The pizza is very delicious. I advise everyone to deal with him. What is nice about this is that the owner of the restaurant is Saudi and he serves the food

I do doordash usually late at night. Almost every night I am in there between 2:00 and 5:00 a.m.. they are always so nice to me when I come in. Always a big smile with a hey how you doing how's your night going. Last night I ordered for the first time from there. Got the Italian stromboli. It was really really good. It was nice and soft but not mushy at all. I was even 20 minutes late picking it up, completely my own fault, and I have current dental issues... not even the corners were hard. Was all easy to eat even with my messed up teeth. The guys that work here are super sweet and have never been anything but cheery and nice no matter what time or day I go in

I have been to that restaurant twice. The first one, the owner made pizza for me and it was DELICIOUS. The second time I went there and ordered Halwani pizza, it had more vegetables than meat!!I would say the dough of the pizza is soft and perfect.
