One of the first things you look for when you move to a new city is a decent place to get a slice of pie. My family does not prefer large chain pizza and is not fooled by the cheap pizza movement these chains seem to promote. We prefer smaller places and shop at the Publix next door to this place so of course we had to stop in and check them out.
What we mainly look for in a pizza is fresh made dough, decent sauce, melty cheese with a decent cheese pull and fresh toppings. The first time we try a place we will usually order a pizza and either a calzone or baked sub to see the quality of a couple menu items.
On this stop we ordered a 16" Super , a Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich and a personal pepperoni (for my youngest).
Honestly the pizza itself would be deserving of a three star rating and maybe a bit more for the rest food overall. Not bad, average (perhaps a little above average) but nothing to write home about. They almost got a two star due to the fact that I reserve a true hatred for round pizza that is cut into squares. Certain slices have no crust , the center slices get soggy and near inedible. This pizza was no exception.
Don't get me wrong, the overall flavor of the pizza I would say is slightly above average, good even.... but soggy slices that are almost impossible to pick up was a detriment to the overall experience.
Where they earned their third star was the service. The restaurant was clean as were the tables. The counter workers were helpful and readily offered suggestions on what to try for our first visit.
One redeeming quality in particular was the service provided by a young man, I believe they called him Ryan. The 14 year old was friendly, prompt and seemed to take his job very seriously. To see a kid that age working hard for his money while carrying himself in a polite and friendly manner, especially in this day and age stood out to not only my wife and I, but to our two teenage daughters.
To summarize, the place is certainly worth another try, so we will stopping back soon. I will request the pizza be cut into triangles and see what they say. The place is clean, the staff is on point and the overall experience was so close, that I would love to give them four stars. We will see if my next visit makes that a possibility.
Nice Job !!! read more
