I have two words to describe this place....freakin' delicious. I stumbled upon this establishment some months back when I went to the Smith's nearby but thought nothing of it, really. Just a typical "pizzeria" in the middle of the desert in a strip mall and, boy, was I wrong!
The first time I went there, I ordered the 2-slice NY with a large soda lunch special. The price was like under $12 before tip. Super reasonable and cheap. I added onion, sausage, and mushroom. Great ingredient combo, great flavor with a solid amount of pop to it. Especially, the sauce. Very rustic, hearty and not sweet. A-1. They also serve a perfect crust, soft but yet crunchy just the way I like it. Can't wait to try the Sicilian style!
The next visit, I ordered the calzone (again, with Italian sausage for my topping, don't ask). Holy schmoly...this freakin' thing is MASSIVE, an absolute monstrosity and what I ordered was just a small one! One of these can either be split into several meals or easily serve 2-3 people. Each calzone comes with mozz and ricotta cheese and a topping of your choice w/ a side of marinara sauce. It can be a bit rich but, oh, so good! I actually asked a guy there named Tony (an owner?) and he said the size is pretty typical, even for a small...all I can say is..."Wowsers!".
Overall, there's nothing for me to say anything constructive in the way of criticism. Will I like everything they serve here? That's to be determined as time goes. Nonetheless, this is a solid outfit and it delivers the goods in my opinion. Now, for a smallish place, this spot offers quite a menu aside from pizza. Pasta, sandwiches, chicken, and desserts all to be homemade (even their sauces!) in which in this day and age is almost unheard. I wouldn't be surprised if someone's old Italian grandma is toiling in the back working and giving everyone the blues of how everything should be done as it seemed like back in the day.
I like the fact that this business appears to be very family owned, sticks to its roots, very cordial and professional, and most of all, serves great food. For that, I am grateful!
