Reviews
I was expecting a very nice low-key spot when I arrived at this restaurant, so I will admit my expectations for food were somewhat high. Unfortunately, the food wasn’t as crazy as I thought it would be. We had the meat calzone along with the meat-stuffed canneloni. The meat calzone was very impressive in appearance; super large and looked nice and toasted on the outside. The bread was great. The inside though was pretty standard though; fixings of ham, pepperoni, cheese, and some tomato sauce. It was good, but it lacked a little bit of oomph. We tried it with the marinara sauce on the side. It was tomatoey but lacked a bit of brightness. It also muddled the flavors of the calzone so I ended up liking it more without. It was slightly on the salty side too and I had to drink a lot of water after eating. About a 6/10.
The canneloni was alright as well. I liked the gyro meat inside which was different but I feel like there could have been more herbs and spices to season the whole dish. It was still good though, maybe slightly better than the canneloni. I did hear them microwave the dish in the back though, which made my heart sank for a bit. It turned out to be an alright dish though but again I wasn’t amazed. I felt like the dish again lacked oomph. There was a lot of cheese, tomato, and savory flavors which gave the dish a sort of lasagna-type flavor profile. About a 6/10 as well.
The salad was simple and basic. Good. Could’ve used a bit of oil but it was simple and had good flavor profiles with oregano or the other herbs that they used.
I really wanted to like this restaurant. It seems like it has been around for a while and the owners are so nice and sweet. The food though in my opinion was just okay. Prices are somewhat reasonable, little more on the expensive side but expected.
After our meal we chatted with Sophia for some time. It was a great time with great food.

I was introduced to this place by a friend while I went to MWC right across the street. This place quickly became my favorite restaurant in Fredericksburg. The place has a very cozy feel and it hasn’t be redecorated in about 30 years which adds to the charm. Don’t let the age fool you, it is super clean and well maintained inside. I mean freakishly clean, seriously peek behind the counter and take a look in the kitchen. The bathrooms are spotless as well, I mean pristinely clean. It is a family owned restaurant and they will quickly learn their regulars and they are always friendly.
Their gyros, souvlaki, and pasta dishes are out of control good and you will quickly forget that delivery pizza even existed. Their pizza is hands down the best you will get in the area and is still in my top 2 favorite pizza places ever. I basically haven’t ever had anything bad on the menu, and I’ve probably tried almost all of it. Their baklava is great as well.
Manny and Sophia are lovely people who genuinely care about their establishment, reputation and the food that they serve. They work so incredibly hard.
There is a reason why this place has been there forever, try it out and you will understand!
I orderd the 3 topping 16 inch pizza, which included, Italian sausage, pepperoni, and extra cheese. I also ordered two gyro’s.
The pizza was fresh, the crust was crispy, and the meat was real Italian sausage, delicious! The gyro’s were delicious also! The customer service was top notch! I really enjoyed the experience!
