The staff were all very friendly and helpful, the food was pretty affordable, and the vibe is casual and popular among families.

We didn't have a reservation, but we were seated pretty quickly upon walking in. We ordered Caesars, meatballs for the kiddo, a cheese thin crust, and a BYO thin crust with sausage/onion/pepp. We also grabbed some local brews too. There's something about their cornmeal crust I absolutely love. The pizza is light, crispy, and just a nice pie overall :) I didn't know they had lunch specials (personal deep dish or thin crust) and side mixed or Caesar until 3p. They also have a weekly happy hour from 3p-5:30p with cocktail/food/beer and wine discounts. Space is huge and super aesthetically pleasing. I believe the building was once an old bank now converted. Parking is tough around Park hehe, so leave room to nail a spot.

But I'm guessing they still have pizza ovens, because there's a really good pizza kitchen there. Groovy Island Pizza gets 5-stars for VALUE alone! I ordered a Mushroom & Sausage Medium pizza, added pepperoni and more mozzarella, and the price was still under $20! Of course the price adds up as you pile on the toppings. First, this is a virtual brand and not a ghost kitchen. This is simply a real business selling pizzas over delivery apps. For some reason, they're using this crazy name. I ordered a medium "Mushroom & Sausage" Pizza. Then I added Pepperoni and more Mozzarella Cheese. Price $18.95. That's a medium pizza with 4 toppings. It was hellya good! It had my basic requirement for a good pizza....a thick blanket of cheese. Crust was soft, but lightly crispy. Even with pepperoni and sausage, it was not overly salty. It was just a good pizza, at a fair price.

Absolutely wonderful experience here for a last-minute birthday dinner…read more We didn't have a reservation for a Saturday night, but did not have to wait around 5:45pm for a party of 2. There is plenty of seating inside, by the bar, and outside in a heated patio. I ordered the spaghetti del Trabocco, as I love seafood and pasta, but have food intolerance to onion and garlic, which has always been challenging for me when going to Italian restaurants. However, the waiter informed me that this dish has no onions or garlic at all! I have never yet encountered a pasta dish with no garlic/onion and was beyond exhilarated that I would be able to order this dish. My husband got the lasagna, and we both ordered drinks. The drinks came out within a few minutes, along with yummy bread, vinegar and olive oil. The entrees took about 10 minutes to come out but they were well worth the wait. The scallops in the spaghetti were so soft, the shrimp were large, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. One of the clams was slightly salty but it did not ruin the dish. My husband enjoyed his lasagna as well, noting it was fulfilling. The best part of the night, was when I asked for a tiramisu to celebrate my birthday. Having tiramisu cake on my birthday holds personal sentimental value to me. Apparently, when the cook isn't busy, he'll come out and sing Happy Birthday to you! The cook was busy when my cake came out about 10 minutes after we finished our main dishes, but the waiter came to sing instead and he was wonderful, topping off the night to say the cake was complimentary. I was almost brought to tears by the gesture. The tiramisu was delicious, devoured too quick, even my husband approved, and I have been thinking of it ever since. I am so appreciative of how they made my birthday dinner a wonderful experience, the service, and the delicious food. Would definitely recommend and come again.

Took a little break because my last dining experience was not that pleasant. The bartender/server had some kind of attitude and completely ruined our night out. A year later, I was craving their delicious butternut squash ravioli and I couldn't resist. We dined in on a weekday afternoon and sat at the bar. Brenda was our server and she gave top tier service. Totally made up for my previous experience. We couldn't find this pork belly appetizer that we'd always get. Turns out it's not on the lunch menu, only on the dinner menu. But Brenda knew exactly what we were talking about and placed our order right away. The beet salad never disappoints. And that ravioli dish was so good, I must've licked the plate clean. I ordered a blood orange soda which was crispy and refreshing. And my partner ordered the ferrari margarita, which never disappoints! Brenda was on top of everything and totally made our dining experience one of the best ones yet. I love how there are different sections to this restaurant. There is the main dining area, stool seats right in front of the kitchen so you can see all the action while enjoying your meal. There is an outdoor patio and a bar section, which is our go to when there is room for us. We'll definitely be back soon!
