My brother had ordered pizza,wings, mozzarella sticks and a calzone. We ordered a meat lovers calzone and hot wings. Let me tell you the flavor on that calzone was phenomenal. That baby was filled with lots of cheese and amazing meat lovers toppings. The pizza was excellent even my toddler enjoyed it. I loved the wings so crispy and saucy. Loved the inside and they offer beer that was a huge plus Overall everything was amazing and I will be coming back soon. I definitely want to try their pastas and rest of the menu.

No matter when I order, even if it's close to closing time, the experience is always the same: friendly, welcoming, and on point. And the food? Just as consistent.

That kind of consistency is rare, and it definitely deserves to be recognized.

Parking was a bit tricky in this neighborhood but I was lucky enough to get a spot in the lot. As I was here for lunch, I wanted to try the sub sandwiches. It was certainly daring to see tongue and brain on the menu, but having grown up in LA loving tacos (where lengua and cabeza are popular protein options) and practicing adventurous eating, tongue and brain sounded absolutely perfect. As my intuition told me, the tongue and brain sub was fantastic. Texture was exquisite, flavor was well balanced, and I am hoping eating such would improve my cognitive and linguistic abilities. I also tried the Persepolis sub which has a lot to offer, but I personally prefer the tongue and brain sub.

When we entered a young man behind the counter greeted us politely and we were reading the menu that was above the counter on a wall. It's a small place with a few tables and chairs. Very lean. She we decided what we wanted we told the young man what we wanted to order. My spouse had their smash cheese burger and fries and I had the personal meat lover pizza. Prices are as prices are nowadays. Of bourse everything could be cheaper if you want but in this case the prices are 100% justified. The cheese burger my spouse had was so delicious and looked like someone made it in their back yard on their grill. You won't get anything like it at those burger corp. not even close. And the fries, nice and fresh and crunchy. Just perfect. My pizza. All I can say and that is that this was one of the best and most delicious pizza I had for a very long time. I eat out a lot at Italian restaurants. Some fancy and not cheap. But none of them could compete with their pizzas. I literally gulped most of it down but held myself back to take honestly 2 slices so I can enjoy the rest later. So, 5 stars for the friendly service. 5 star for the cleanliness. 5 stars for the fair prices. 5 stars for the large menu from burgers, to pizza, pasta and sandwiches! And last but not least 5 major stars for the fresh and delicious food and its quality. If you're in the area. Stop there and enjoy something good.

The crust had a great balance, crispy on the outside but still soft and chewy inside. It didn't feel like your typical quick, greasy slice. One thing to note is that this location is a bit different from their Melrose storefront. It is more of a ghost kitchen setup, tucked away down a hallway in a shared kitchen space. Not a big deal, just something to keep in mind if you are expecting a traditional dine-in spot. Parking can be a little tricky since the lot is small and shared, but if you can find street parking nearby, you should be fine. I have also had some of their other pizzas at events and from their storefront before and everything has always tasted fresh and well made. Overall, if you are looking for high quality pizza and do not mind the low key setup at this location, it is definitely worth checking out.
