The pizza here is consistently fantastic, which is why we continue to come back. Unfortunately, the…read moreservice timing has become a recurring frustration for us. On several visits, we have specifically requested that our garlic cheese bread and salad arrive before the pizza so we can actually enjoy the appetizer and salad course first. Tonight, we again had a very clear conversation about this request, yet everything arrived in the exact opposite order. What was most frustrating was being told that "the pizza comes out when the pizza comes out," as though there is no ability for the front staff and kitchen to coordinate timing. In an open-concept restaurant where the order staff and kitchen are working side by side, it seems like simple communication could easily solve this issue. We truly enjoy the food and want this restaurant to succeed, but proper pacing of a meal is part of good dining service. Appetizers and salads should enhance the experience -- not arrive simultaneously with or after the main course. We hope management will take this constructively because the food deserves service that matches its quality

The order was ready extremely quickly and we dived in - everything was hot and fresh. Kids liked the huge slices of pizza - thin crust. The cheese sticks were amazing - big and fluffy - only about 6-7 in an order but would highly recommend. Pizza was delicious - pesto base with chicken, arugula, feta. We ordered the medium and the pizza was filling. A great stop if you have kids or are craving pizza - lots of different speciality pizzas or you can build your own.

At no point was this communicated during their reservation confirmation call and in fact, the corporate manager, Monica Green, actually explicitly directed her staff NOT to tell diners of the AC not working (as told to me by an unnamed employee). You can imagine our surprise, and sweaty discomfort, as my group of 16 showed up for our reservation and the internal temperature of the restaurant easily exceeded 85 degrees, making dining there completely out of the question as the heat/ humidity was unbearable. What a slimy bait and switch tactic and talk about an unbelievably shortsighted business mindset. I organize dinners, meetings and events for a large company in the Eastern Tennessee area. Not only will this restaurant never make a dime from me or any of my colleagues, but we will tell everyone we know about this horrible experience and the deceitful tactics of management. We completely understand that the AC going out is out of management's control but intentionally not informing diners of the intolerable temperature was a calculated and deliberate choice. What a shame. Best of luck to you, Monica, you're going to need it if this is how you run a business.

We have driven by this restaurant on several occasions & finally decided to stop. It was lunch time…read moreso why not. The restaurant was welcoming & it smelled good. The waitress told us to grab a seat wherever we wanted. She was quick on taking our drink order. After reviewing the menu we decided on the lunch special & a capri salad. Our capri salad arrived & looked appetizing. After our first bite we looked at each & said "it's not Florence". The tomatoes did not have flavor, drizzle of olive oil was light & very light balsamic vinegar. The lunch special of 2 slices with 2 toppings was outstanding, even with a big flop. It's big enough for two people or tomorrow's lunch. Will go again, maybe for dinner.

We decided to call in an order and pick it up, and the experience was very pleasant from the start…read more The person who took our order over the phone was friendly and said it would take about 30 minutes, and they were right on time. Our food was ready when we arrived and was still nice and warm when we got it home. There are plenty of seating options inside, including a bar area, booths, and high-tops, plus outdoor seating if you prefer to eat outside. We ordered the Mini Garlic Knots, Buffalo Chicken Flatbread, and a medium pizza with sausage, mushrooms, and black olives. The garlic knots were okay, but a little on the doughy side and not my favorite. The Buffalo Chicken Flatbread was good, but nothing that really stood out. The pizza was also decent and hit the spot. Overall, it's a solid option if you're in the area. Granted, there isn't a whole lot around here, so you have to take that into consideration. If you're looking for really good pizza, you may have to drive about 20 minutes, but if you're nearby and don't want to make the drive, this place will do the job.
