The pizza was excellent and the restaurant, including the restrooms were clean. The bottom of the crust had some crispness but was still soft and light. The sauce was good. The toppings all tasted fresh, and overall, this was one of the best pizzas Ive had.

First time there. Really good pizza. You just pay for the pie and all toppings are included. No nickel and diming. And Jojo was a great server. Only suggestion is to make the building a little warmer. Pizza starts to get cold after a couple of slices.
