The absolute BEST PIZZA!!!! Love this place . You can taste the freshness of the ingredients used. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Can't say enough good things about this spot.
Excellent pizza and amazing service! The pizza is phenomenal! The double baked wings are even better. Grace was fantastic, checked on us constantly and provided top notch service! Will be back again!
Holy cross-eyed cow! This place was amazing! After hiking out at Rainbow Basin, we stopped in for pizza, and this place is a whole vibe. LOVE the decor! The Greek salad was fresh and delicious, and the pizza was superb. We ordered the "Mona Lisa" and added red pepper, bacon, and garlic. It was so bomb, and the 'cheese-pull' did not disappoint. Great service as well I would also like to add that the restaurant was very clean ... including the bathroom! we will be back!
This was my first time visiting and early afternoon was perfect, as by the time we received our food every table was occupied. This place was highly recommended and once we were greeted by the staff I just had a good feeling about the place. We ordered a side of garlic knots, a "cool summer" salad and we grabbed a couple of pies, (Spudstacular & Iron Hog.) The food did end up taking 40 or so minutes but once again the restaurant was full and everything is homemade so the wait was not an issue at all to wait for the freshest product possible. The garlic knots were amazing texturally with the outside being slightly charred and crunchy and the inside soft and pillowy. The salad was nothing short of spectacular it was so fresh and had many components to it not just a basic "spring mix" at all! The pies literally had me cheesing from ear to ear in anticipation once they were dropped off and they tasted just as good as it looked, I was not disappointed one bit. The 20-25 minute drive was worth it and I will be making it again without hesitation! Thank you for your hospitality.
Exceptionally great tasting pizza in a vintage Route 66 themed restaurant. There is plenty to look at as for the decor. Ordering is at the counter with seating available either inside or outside. Just follow the hanging arrows. The waitstaff will bring your order out where you are seated. I ordered the Daily Special which is a customizable two slice pizza which comes with a drink. There is a free refill with the fountain drink. This comes in handy when the weather is hot outside. I ordered four toppings for my pizza: pepperoni, sausage, anchovies, and mushrooms. This was a very tasty combination which went well with my refreshing Dr. Pepper. Next time I will choose different toppings to see if they are just as tasty. This daily special is a good value as the two slices are generously portioned to be shareable. It is equivalent to a 9 inch or 10 inch personal sized pizza. I ordered the Perfect Pasta Salad because the menu description was appealing. It consists of vegetable spiral pasta with black olives and slices of salami. It is dressed with a balsamic vinaigrette. I ordered it as a side and the size is very generous for an individual portion. (The small salad will feed two people.) The pasta salad was a delicious appetizer while I wait for my pizza slices. I also got chocolate chip cookies which were located next to the cashier. They came wrapped in plastic as two cookies. Chocolate brownies were also available. The cookies were okay if you like soft cookies but I prefer crisp. Nothing special about these. I will probably try the brownies next time. Overall, a good place for pizza. I will definitely return to try other items. Plenty of accessible parking in the back lot and in the front of the restaurant. Waitstaff is friendly and efficient.
Delicious food! This restaurant has amazing interior decors, amazing staff, and delicious food. I got their daily special since I cannot eat a whole pizza by myself. I chose 4 toppings on my pizza and upgraded my drink to a glass bottled one. My 2 slices of pizza took a while but it was worth the wait. So much toppings and was delicious. My coworkers ordered chicken wings and they said it's the best wings they had. Also one of them ordered the spicy wings and two of my coworkers were sweating. This place is in a remote area but there were people eating here. It's a hidden gem!
