Love this place! It has the best grinders in the county! And they're huge too so you get a lot for your money. There's tables to eat in and lots of people taking out food. Friendly staff and taste is great. They also have pizza but their grinders are my fav.

I know there is a problem right now influenced by the pandemic to get good help and I have given this Pizza vendor more than one opportunity to impress me but unfortunately, they have failed. What makes a good Italian dish, especially a pizza pie? the sauce. Basically, a good pizza but very stingy with the tomato (marinara) sauce (which makes it Italian) and when asked to add extra, to which they agreed, the final product did not appear to have any or very, very little. They did offer to make me a new one - ready in fifteen minutes; this was in addition to the hour I had already waited. Now it's time to renew my search for a true Italian pie.

They lost our order. I checked on it after waiting 30 mins. They found the paper receipt order on the floor. And said it fell off the rack. They gave me $10 on a Gift Card and said take some cookies. We'll rush your order. Another 30 went by and I went back to the counter and checked on it again but they looked at me like they didn't know who I was. And I had to explain what happened with the order again to them, and it was the same people from before. The order was JUST coming out of the oven. I waited at the counter while it was finished up. It only took an hour for wings and two subs. While l do appreciate their apologies and the $10 it still just doesn't set right with me.

5/5Amanda Richard

Yum!!!!! I got half a grinder. Wish I would have got the whole one to take half home. Definitely will return when we are back in town, visiting family. Plus, the staff was super helpful and nice!

5/5Leah Morgan

i love this place, it’s so good and the pizza I got was worth the wait. Even though they were busy our 3 pizzas still came to our table really hot and fresh. Even though they were training people they still managed to get it out being so busy. I wish i had gone here more! There is also a good dessert store next door and that’s perfect after a good pizza.
