The atmosphere was great. However, the lighting was a bit dim for my taste but still an overall comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Our server did a fantastic job and took great care of us. And as we were waiting for our food, we could see the cooks in plain sight dishing out the pizzas and cutting them up for customers.
Overall, it was a great experience, and if we find ourselves heading back down for a middle school basketball game, we will definitely stop again.
This time, hopefully, it’ll be after a win.
Unfortunately though this time our server dropped the ball and left our pizza sitting on the counter long enough it wasn’t hot when it was finally brought out 45 minutes after we ordered it. When we ask her about it she blew it off and said “well there’s a stack of carry-out orders ahead of you”. Soo when she did bring the cold pizza she didn’t bother to bring us any plates then we had to wait for those while she kept repeatedly asking me if we needed red pepper. NO! Bring us plates!
But the real kicker was other people were seated long after we were next to us, placed their orders and got their food long before we did I guess she thought we were blind.
Hopefully, she’s not there next time we are but if this is any indication of her normal routine I’m betting she’s not. Bottom line is if she’d have owned her screw up we would have just let it go and moved on.
Needs Improvememt – Dining it, felt really cramped. A lil bit on the oilier side with pizza so take your tums if you have a weak stomach like me. Oil doesnt affect pizza’s taste.
Overall: 4/5, but still my #1 pizza place in this college city. Would come here every time if I had to choose.
