“I’ve ordered delivery from here several times when hosting and it’s always a hit! Their pizzas are amazing and the quality for the price is unmatched!”
“This place is a great neighborhood spot. The pizza is a treat. We ordered sausage, green pepper and jalapeños. The sausage looks hand made and with good portions. Our server was so pleasant and the pizza came out quickly. Thin crust and saucy. Definitely worth a return visit!”
“Wow, the food was absolutely amazing and the service was top notch, just like always! I can't recommend this restaurant enough it's a must-visit! You definitely want to stop by and savor a bite; you won't regret it!”
“Amazing Experience with Exceptional Service! I had a fantastic time at [Name of the café/bar/restaurant]! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the drinks/food are top-notch, but what truly made my visit special was the outstanding service. A special shoutout to [Waitress’s Name], the wonderful waitress from Montenegro. Her warm hospitality, professionalism, and friendly attitude made me feel right at home. She is not only attentive and quick but also has a natural charm that makes every guest feel valued. It’s rare to find such genuine service these days! If you’re looking for a great place to relax and enjoy excellent service, this is the spot. Highly recommended, and I will definitely be coming back! If you want me to personalize it further (e.g., name of the place or specific details about the service), just let me know!”
“Great prices and food, European style cafe where you can get coffee, alcoholic beverages and food. Pizza with hot honey is my favorite. Recently tried the Mezze platter, which was a generous portion and very tasty. Espresso is better than many fancy Italian restaurants!”
“ordered directly from the restaurant and it was still delivered by DoorDash. I hate that why would I bother ordering directly knowing that DoorDash delivers and doesn’t care about the food. If I knew I would have ordered directly from DD and saved the $5 delivery fee. Also the pizza was very light on toppings. Basically one piece of sausage per slice. That is NOT a tavern pizza.”
“Delivery and pizza from here has always been great, until last night. The driver carried the delivery bag sideways, like a briefcase, then set it down flat on a bench while calling to let us know the food was here. We have this on camera. We paid for a pizza, tipped and received this mess because of a careless delivery driver. Unacceptable.”
“Best tavern style in the city. Cracker thin. Amazing. Great delivery. Being able to add green olives is a deep cut. They know their stuff”
“From the pizza to the desserts, the food is on point. Def recommend getting the Twinkies for desert.”
“Ordered pizza for delivery from here for a soccer watch party at River park. Kinda a bad experience through their third party delivery. I tried adding onto my existing order and they said we have to charge the delivery fee again. I was confused. They called someone and said the same thing. So I didn’t add anything to my order Someone calls from the restaurant apologizing on the third parties behalf because the messaging and miscommunication was apparent. I had placed a delivery order, called back in about 3-5 mins to order an additional large pizza. And the third party was upset with me for asking to waive the delivery fee. Additionally, the coke was missing from my order clearly shown on the receipt. All this to say their pizza was absolutely delicious and the crowd loved it.”
