Absolutely wonderful people. We got hit with a severe storm while we waited inside & once they heard we were walking home, they provided a trash bag to cover out food from the rain. Because of that, I’ll definitely come back again! We ordered for take-out at the counter and waited inside. They provided free popsicle/slushies while we waited. Normal time of waiting & food was delicious.

Pizza is alright for what you would expect. Service was nice. Take out preferably. Around 5$/slice, but they gave me two for cost of one, maybe because they were closing.

The onion rings were crisp. Perfect. Pizza was phenomenal, good ingredients, they don't hold back. Interesting daily deals as well. Highly recommend.

Lot of love to this place. They were super helpful in working with me on an event in the area. Called a few times with changes, all pretty last minute, and they were very accommodating the whole way through, even staying late to package and deliver the order. Plus, the pizza was tasty. The stadium pie is a great fit for a crowd. All very affordable too!

Really nice people there. Very kind and very helpful. I was staying near there to help daughter move out of dorm in Chicago. Wish I had more chance to go back, but I was busy with moving daughter's things. If I go back, I will definitely go back.
