Just outstanding pizza - fresh, high quality ingredients, piping hot right out of the oven. Not the biggest menu, but they really focus well on the pizzas that they offer. I would suggest eating there so you can taste the thin but soft doughy crust. Soo goood... No free water though. Kind of a bummer, only bottled to purchase. Also no soda fountain fyi.

The best pizza outside of Italy hands down! I have been to Italy several times and this is the real deal. Both the atmosphere and ingredients are incredible! The owner came over and introduced himself and made us feel right at home! We will absolutely be back and recommend everyone go and try it out!

Great pizza. Ingredients were so fresh. You can taste the authenticity of the ingredients. Place was packed when we went but didn’t wait long. Got a the Bianca which was a white pizza to spilt with my girlfriend. Overall we spent 25 dollars and both left full and satisfied. The pizza however did have a lot of flop. This seemed typical amongst everyone around. The bottom was not the crispy but it’s their style.

Absolutely loved this place! It’s about just as expensive as a normal pizza joint but the quality here you can taste in the dough and ingredients are leaps and bounds ahead. Staff was friendly and helpful. We ordered 1 large pizza and finished it between two people because it was on the thin side of crusts. Will absolutely be coming back with more family. Everything was clean and bathrooms were well maintained as well. I did not try from the frozen dessert options for Gelato but they did looked delicious. We instead tried the pistachio cannolis which were Fantastic!! Only suggestions I would throw out there are Wish there was grated Parmesan cheese and chili flakes available to make your slice your own (I couldn’t find any) and I’d love if you could get some kind of variety of drizzles to finish off your pizza with like a basil pesto / garlic butter to also be able to make your pizza your own from the variety of menu choices. Ambiance was also a little bit loud inside, not crazy but you definitely had to be looking at eachother to focus on having your conversation.

The pizza here is amazing! Love the flavors and the ambiance of the restaurant. One thing I would mention that stands out is their crust, the way they make their dough is magic! Everything is eaten, nothing is left of the slice. We will definitely come back!

The food is delicious, the atmosphere convivial, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. We always stay with a Verona salad (pictured) and then rotate between several of their pizzas. This trip, we got the Napoletana. Pictures were taken after eating- we couldn’t wait!

This place was amazing! The pizza and gelato reminded me of what I had in Italy. The staff was great. Can't wait to go back!

Just visited for the first time at the recommendation of a friend. They serve thin crust neopolitan style pizza baked in a super hot brick oven. They use flour imported from Italy so you know what you're getting is as authentic as you're gonna find. The pizza cooks super fast, the crust is light, with just a hint of a char, and tastes delicious! Just enough cheese sauce and toppings to satisfy. All pizzas are 18 inches, but the light crust makes it disappear quickly! The service is friendly, and like I said before, the pizza cooks quickly. So, in our case, the pizza was on our table about 10 minutes after we placed our order! You order at the counter, self-serve bottled soft drinks, but they do bring the pizza to your table. They serve wine and beer along with soft drinks, salads, and a nice selection of Italian style desserts. Atmosphere was bright, airy, and VERY casual... cement floors and long tables w benches big enough for 6 to sit comfortably. Several video screens show Italian soccer matches. Enjoyable experience.
