    The left: pide with cheese. Right: cigarette borek.
    Ulyana K.

    The greatest strength of this restaurant is their wide array of food offerings. You can get anything from classic pizza to kebab or pide, a Turkish pizza. Their offerings also range from classics like pepperoni to crabmeat and goat cheese. Today, I order a Pide Efes, pide with cheese, and cigarette borek. Borek was a decent size and the feta tastes deliciou. The ends, however, were not completely filled with cheese in all of the pieces. The Pide Efes has a lot of meat and is decently spiced but nothing counteracts the flavor and it has an odd aftertaste. The Pide with cheese was greasy but had a thin crust, a bit bland. Side salads are mediocre, do not count on them being more than lettuce with a few veggies. I have previously tried their Margarita pizza, baklava, falafel, cheesecake, and mushroom and ricotta pizza. Their personal pies are a bit pricey, and so are the larger options (even without taking toppings into consideration). Ricotta came in small blobs but was quite tasty, and the pizza wasn't greasy but was crusty. Baklava was well soaked and very sweet while the cheesecake was tasty+well portioned as well. Falafel was on the crunchy side but had a great portion.

    What's for dinner? (Saturday, January 30, 2021) Pizza from Efes (formally Ephesus). If @ first you don't succeed... try, try again! I tried Portofino's yesterday & it didn't work out. But, today is a different day! I had to go with what I know. And, I know that Efes is my favorite pizza place! They cook it throughly. They put the extra pepperoni on it that I ask for. The taste is !!! We also order their chicken kebab pizza which is also very good. Actually, I take the chicken kabob & eat it with my pepperoni pizza. Bon appétit! Sorry the picture is kind of blurry. I was in a hurry!

    Decided to get lunch out with some co-workers so we ordered delivery from Ephesus. Delivery time was reasonable as was the price for everything. The buffalo chicken pizza was pretty good with the spicy fries and cheesy goodness. The ranch to dip it in was yummy as well. The chicken tasted okay but didn't look fresh. It tasted like it was processed or frozen beforehand. The best part hands down were the fries on top! Overall, two personal pizzas were enough to feed three very hungry people with some left over. I'd order from here again but next time I'd go in to see if the dine-in experience is a little better.

    Pizza...half cheese, half peppers and sausage

    If you're in the market for a buttload of carbs, look no further. This is a good local pizza shop! They have a huge menu with a lot of unique pizza offerings, many with a Mediterranean influence (for example, Morrocan chicken and spiced plum pizza, which is surprisingly tasty). They also have the standard make-your-own pizza toppings and the usual specialty pizza suspects (white pizza, buffalo chicken pizza). In general, they make a solid pie. Their crust is slightly sweet and more on the doughy than crispy side (which I happen to prefer). Their red pizza sauce is also slightly sweet, but well-balanced with acidity from the tomatoes and well seasoned. And, importantly, they don't skimp on the cheese or on the toppings, which is appreciated. What I like even more than the pizza, however, are their non-pizza apps and meals. For example, their boneless wings are surprisingly delicious for being made at a pizza shop. They're large and meaty with a nice crunchy coating and doused in your choice of sauce (I'm a fan of the honey BBQ sauce). I also like their pasta dishes -- they make a really good chicken parm pasta dinner (which, again, I did not expect at a pizza joint). I'd also recommend their subs -- they are generous with the fillings, and the bread they use is really hearty and chewy. They also offer several Turkish specialties (Pide (Turkish pizza), kabobs, babaganoush, etc.). I've not sampled many of these, but I look forward to working my way through that part of the menu soon! Overall, I think it's great that there is such a huge variety of items that you can order from this one shop. Prices are fairly reasonable too -- just be sure to grab one of their menu flyers (or look online) and don't order anything before checking our their deals. They offer TONS of coupons and specials, so take the time to check out their flyer to make sure you don't miss a chance to save money!

    A mountain of nearly raw toppings. Yuck
    Natalie K.

    In my boyfriend's words, "How could you even make a pizza that bad? Did an earthquake happen and make all the toppings fall off the shelf onto the pizza? It looks like the salad bar just threw up on the pizza." Delivery took over an hour, but worse is the fact that the pizza was completely smothered in nearly raw onion, peppers, mushrooms, and sausage. I am more tolerant of raw onions than many people, but undercooked sausage is just plain gross. And of course the crust was totally soggy, so picking up a slice just made half the toppings fall on the plate anyway. Won't be trying this place again.

    The gyro!
    Missy D.

    This was my second time ordering in from this Ephesus because I keep getting their ad in my mailbox and I'm really impressed. The first time we ordered we just got a regular pizza and we were surprised to get a really delicious pizza delivered to our door within 30 minutes. This time we went for something unique and ordered the gyro special with fries and also the Pide with Soujcuk and egg (Turkish pizza). We both absolutely loved both items. I was surprised to get such a delicious gyro from a take out joint and the Turkish pizza was great for something different! Will definitely order again.

    Personal Buffalo Chicken Pizza
    Amanda B.

    DELICIOUS. Seriously, the best pizza I've ever had so far and completely unexpected! I had friends tell me their pizza was good, but I didn't imagine it was this good. I had to have the buffalo chicken pizza and boy am I glad I did! The toppings are LOADED on... The chicken is moist and there are fried potato slices. The cheese is so good and the crust is crisp on the outside, yet so soft on the inside. Excellent! We've also ordered the lamb and chicken kebab pizza that come with individual generous kebabs on top of the pizza! The hummus is to die for and the pita bread makes it even better! So soft and completely addicting. My only recommendation is to order more bread than what comes with the hummus! I work in the area, so we've had our orders delivered and they always arrive before the expected time, which is great! I love that they offer personal size pizzas, which are an extremely generous portion and well worth every penny. I highly recommend Ephesus!!

    Ewww....just got lunch delivered from this joint and I'm utterly disappointed...the lettuce was brown and mushy I almost choked to death on the butt end of an iceberg lettuce! The fries were soggy and bland! The chicken sandwich had a gummy consistency like it was either old or not Cooked properly! If I could give no stars I would...also they served some strange off brand ketchup!!! That's a big no no in the burg! I'm considering calling for a refund!!!! I give credit where credit is due but ergh!!!! So many better options! Update: contacted grub hub and let them know about the order and I actually found my sandwich was raw! The restaurant absolutely refused to reimburse any of my money and was unwilling to work with the Grubhub customer service rep! Guess they will take anything they will get and really do not care about customer service! Crap food crap service!

    This is what they call a Caesar salad for $13! Total joke

    Modern elegance... with pizza that tops the charts!…read more When you first walk in, you feel like you are entering a fine dining establishment. The decor, lighting, and ambiance is super upscale and you start to wonder if you can order ooey gooey goodness with some drinks. The seating is abundant with cute two tops by the beautiful natural light, booths big enough for a family, and cute seating in the atrium that feels like a party! We were immediately greeted and seated. The staff is super friendly and they all help each other expediting, serving, and cleaning. We ordered a Hu-No Spritz and Arsenal Draft. The spritz lacked the carbonation of soda, but the fresh mint and lime were just a perfectly refreshing sip. We split a Caesar salad to pretend to be healthy. The mix of lettuce was delightful and the toppings were so lightly added that it was the perfect way to start a pizza rampage. We could barely decide what pizza to get, but we indulged in the Hot Honey Pepperoni. From the creamy vodka sauce to the gooey mozzarella to the charred cup pepperonis filled with drizzles of the sweet hot honey. This pizza immediately cracked my top 5 of the Burgh!!! The dough itself is just... pillowy, crispy, and savory all at once... and yeah.... THAT'S GOOD!!! Hot tip: They do have a pizza window. How freaking cool! So if you wanna just stop by and grab a slice or wanna take a pie home... they are rocking and ready to get you the goods.

    The lunch special at Alta Via is one of the best deals in my opinion. Their pizza is solid, thinner…read morecrust and I like the flavor, not anything exceptional. The Cesar salad is also fairly good, I wish they had a looked less panko crumbs but pretty good deal for $12. Their regular menu options are all solid, I'd say it's a consistently good spot for Italian, and their vibe for drinks is great.

It comes with vodka sauce, Lupe's meatballs, house cheese blend, fresh mozzarella, ricotta, and fresh basil leaves. Nicely charred crust.

I cannot say it is the best pizza I have had because different styles are all amazing. This is a unique style and I love it. The sauce was amazing, the ricotta cheese was so delicious and their meatballs were tremendous. What I loved was the crust - it had some chew and some tug; there was a little bit of char on the outside and the bottom. The meatballs were delicious and that sauce! The vodka sauce was perfect. I would have thought I would have missed the standard cheese on a pizza but the ricotta was super good. I placed my order on their website and it was easy; I was able to pay using my Apple Pay, which was a plus. We arrived and it was ready but we stood talking to the men in the shop and they were so kind. They asked us questions about us when they learned we had, recently, moved here. You will not find a more personable greeting anywhere.
