The calzone was likely my favorite. We filled it with pepperoni, sausage and bell peppers. Then it was topped with a nice flavorful Italian blend medley of yum. We opted for the meat pizza and it did not disappoint. Layers of cheese and Italian goodness in every bite. We also had the grilled chicken side salad and felt it was okay. Pizza and cheese is where it is at. I feel the price, value and taste may be some of the best this small town has to offer.

They tasted just like a tortilla chip though soooo... I think 2$ is more appropriate (menu also had GF at 4$ and then we were charged 5$ at the end in which I thought I'd be getting gluten free bread too but alas, the app was really really good - a friends complaint is that it could use more lemon flavor, I can see that too) I was also charged 4$ for my gluten free pasta, but the dish was so so so good. The creamy sauce was absolutely incredible. I had the shrimp scampi along with a blueberry syrup mocktail and I was completely satisfied. Also had a taste of the blueberry martini which was also very good. My friend had the lasagna which she rated at 3 stars and said it was overcooked but the sauce was good. My sister had the lobster ravioli and it was undercooked, too al dente for her liking and was dissatisfied as it was the most expensive thing on the menu. My sister would go back, my friend would not, and i definitely would. Service was very nice. I just looked at my receipt and there is a charge for "rustic bread" so I'm not sure what that is... did they charge us for both the GF crackers AND the bread that should have been included in the appetizer? That's also not cool.

The hours are afternoon and evening only. It is set up mainly for carry out and delivery but there is a small amount of tables and a heads up there isn't a public restroom. But the pizza was very good.

We ordered the 20" for two and it was more than enough for two guys that can eat a lot. The slices are huge so if you want more slices you can ask for a double cut and it'll make the pizza go even further for a table of more people. The pizza is extra hot when it comes out and oddly it tastes better as the cheese cools and solidifies. It isn't bad when you get it. It gets BETTER. Ranch is free which is not the norm these days so dip away! Service was fast and efficient even tho they were busy. Whole pizzas so take about 30 minutes but slices are always available to purchase. My only suggestion to the kitchen is to have all good timed to come out at the same time. We had someone with us that ordered pasta that came out about 15 minutes before the pizza came out and we told to eat before their food got cold.

I've had the Chicken Parmesan pasta, the Margherita pizza, and the Pepperoni pizza. Each of them was above average. The Chicken Parmesan came with a nicely breaded and cheese-covered piece of chicken with spaghetti and two pieces of garlic toast. It was good, though it could have used a little more red sauce. Pizzas are available as 20" or 14" pies, and certain ones you can get by the slice. The crust is medium thickness, light, with a soft core and a crispy outside. The Margherita was good but I preferred the Pepperoni. Overall, both pizzas were above average. I especially liked the crispiness of the outside of the crust. They also have salads and wings. Dessert consists of cheesecake or funnel cake fries. I haven't tried any of these yet. There is an inside dining area, a bar area, and an outdoor patio area. The inside is shared with Common Grounds coffee shop and Heritage Creamery ice cream shop, a couple of other local favorites.

Sometimes they give a lot of packets so I will grind them up with a mortar and pestle and put them to future use. Some people don't like them but I recommend trying them yourself.

The old-school interior and the panoply of familiar favorites (pizza, calzone, spaghetti and meatballs, tortellini, manicotti, and more) will take you back to childhood if you grew up with places like this one. Entrees run in the teens here, which is starting to seem more and more like a value these days. The food, however, is pretty solidly average. I went with spaghetti and white clam sauce, and while I've had (and made) better versions of this dish, I appreciated the addition of black pepper. Lara opted for a veggie calzone, which tasted fine yet was decidedly lacking in ricotta. Surprisingly, the rolls (hot, fresh, and generously sized) were above par. Is Baris good Italian? Not if you've had much Italian. Is Baris satisfying in its own way? You betcha.

Sauce was flavorless. Crust was meh. Even the cheese seemed as if it were food service grade from a huge bag. It was just underwhelming like PeterPiperPizza from when we had to take kids to a bday party. Daughter's dish had shrimp, red sauce, and pasta. Pasta was overcooked. Sauce lacked flavor. And even at that, it was garlicky to the point of bitterness, and we LOVE garlic. She brought most of it home where it sat for a couple of days in the fridge and then got tossed out. It wasn't gross food, by any means, and the relaxing atmosphere was what we were hoping for (not overly loud), but at the end of the day, we have no desire to go back.
