Leap into the Yelp-scape for something close but not a chain. Boom CortiLeno's pops up. 10" Pie for $12? We are all in. Walked in about 6pm Monday night quiet. Great bartender took order of one extra pepperoni sans cheese and one traditional pepperoni and cheese. "I'll be back in 20. Should I pay before I leave? No thats fine." Back 20 mins later a bit more crowded and pizzas ready to go. Ambience of space is not my vibe because I dislike the electronic gaming. Thats a me thing On way out chef/owner/dude.."I killed that one pizza with pepperoni." He did indeed. Happiness all around. Great sauce, amazing crust (soft so if you want crispy give them an alert) perfect amount of cheese and toppings. Great job!

We were able to store our belongings in a locker before being shown to our escape room. We chose the Jurassic World room and were given clear instructions along with a walkie-talkie to request clues if needed--which we definitely took advantage of. This was my first escape room experience, so it took a little time to understand what was being asked of us, but once it clicked, things started moving much more smoothly. Even though we didn't solve the entire room, we had a great time and are already looking forward to coming back to try another one.
