Large Pepperoni, mushrooms and jalapeños
Max A.

Waited to actually taste the pizza before taking a pic making my review. Absolutely the most underrated pizza in the valley!! Service was excellent and I will definitely be coming back real soon!!

Garlic Cheese Bread
Brianna G.

The pizza and cheese bread are amazing!!! It tastes like me n Ed's but made with love. It's super good. The crust is crunchy on the bottom and the dough is still soft and not dry! Excellent prices as well. We will be coming back!

Bar walking in.....

2/19/25 Getting lunch! Called and ordered an onion rings and they are not doing any fried foods. FYI! Ended up changing my mind from a chicken sandwich to a veggie chicken calzone with Jalapeños added. Looked better. He told me it would be ready in 15 min. I went to pick it up. Arrived! Restaurant is nice. Walking in to Sam Hunt music playing was awesome! They have a bar right when you walk in. Lots of bar tables, regular tables and chairs. Arcade games too! Paid for the order and he said it was almost ready. Waited a few. Great, fun atmosphere. He brought me the order with a smile and said enjoy! Thanked him & left. Lunchtime! LARGE calzone! Definitely sharing! Half is plenty! It was Really DELICIOUS! The tasty fresh jalapeños made it even better! Cheesy with plenty of chicken. The calzone bread is seasoned and really Great! Flavorful! Good service & GREAT calzone! Highly recommended!

Meat and veggie calzone
Molly L.

I came here on a weekday afternoon and had a very pleasant experience at this restaurant. I ordered garlic cheese bread, a meat veggie calzone, and a small pepperoni pineapple pizza. I came before lunch time and there is plenty of seating in the restaurant. I liked the array of options for pizza, calzones, and cheese bread. They also make chicken wings here where you can order the sauce on the side. I think Sam himself took my order and had a nice mustache. The food was freshly made as soon as I ordered and ready within 15 minutes. It was great to know that everything is made fresh. And it tasted fresh too. Crispy crust yet the dough was moist and the ingredients were also fresh. The meat and veggie calzone also had a large variety of meat and vegetables as well while the garlic cheese bread had plenty of cheese and garlic and packed with flavor. I also appreciated the tasty ranch and jalapeños you can purchase on the side for $0.50 each. As others have stated, the pizza here is similar to Me-N-Ed's without the long wait or crowds. And the seating here is plentiful. I would definitely return and love being able to support a small business by purchasing quality food here. Delicious and quality food!

Large Pepperoni Pizza
Faith M.

I would give this place 10 starts if I could. The service was great and the pizza was AMAZING. The crust was crispy, and it was some of the best pizza I've had in Fresno/Clovis. It's comparable to Me&Eds pizza. They make their crust fresh, and the ratios were perfect! I would 100000% come again and If you like the pizza from Me&Eds, you NEED to try this place!!

One Topping
Alisen F.

Okay, for starters I have not been a pizza person in awhile but I am once again. My boyfriend picked up but said everyone was extremely friendly. Sorry there are pieces gone because he couldn't wait for me to take a picture. Pizzas were extremely packed with toppings. Toppings are FRESH! Definitely a must try place if you love Me & Ed's because it'll take you back to when you were a kid.

Delicious @ a affordable price! Can't beat it!

We visited on a Tuesday evening without a reservation, and the hostesses were wonderful in…read moreaccommodating our request to sit near the pizza oven and open-fire grill. It turned out to be such an enjoyable spot to dine, and we really appreciated their effort. Our server, Olive, was absolutely fantastic! She was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Every detail of her service was handled beautifully. A big thank you to Olive for making our evening so enjoyable! As for the food, the pizza was absolutely delicious! Our steak had a wonderful smoky flavor from being cooked over an open flame, although we weren't particularly impressed with the meat itself. The salad and potatoes, however, were excellent. Unfortunately, the chocolate dessert served in a glass was disappointing. I understand the idea of balancing chocolate with salt and pistachios to create a more complex flavor profile, but this dessert was surprisingly not sweet at all. It genuinely tasted like salty chocolate, which I found unpleasant. Definitely not something we enjoyed. One other thing stood out to us from a hospitality perspective. We were seated directly across from the pizza chef and the chef working the open-fire grill, yet neither acknowledged us throughout the evening. Not even a smile, eye contact, or a simple "How's the food?" I completely understand that chefs are focused on cooking and that guest interaction isn't necessarily their responsibility. However, when you're working in an open kitchen with guests sitting right in front of you, a little acknowledgment goes a long way. What made it particularly noticeable was that they were chatting with each other throughout the evening while seemingly ignoring the guests just a few feet away. It felt rather unwelcoming, especially in an otherwise excellent hospitality environment. Overall, we loved the atmosphere, the hostesses were wonderful, Olive provided outstanding service, and most of the food was delicious. A little more guest engagement from the open-kitchen team would make the experience even better.

My wife and I had an amazing experience last night- from the appetizer to our main dishes. Everything was executed just perfectly- I wouldn't change a thing with the food. We started with the arancini,which are deep fried risotto balls with mozzarella and pesto embedded in. These little delights are a must try as they are the perfect blend of creamy , salty and crunchy. For our entrees, we ordered the Margherita pizza and rigatoni with sausage. First of all, the wood fired pizza was cooked perfectly with a nice balance of sweetness from the pizza sauce and crunch factor from the dough. The homemade rigatoni pasta was to die for with the sausage ragu working its magic including a subtle spice added throughout to give it that nice kick of flavor. Well done team Annex! As a Sicilian who grew up on the real stuff, I can tell you that this place hits every mark. 5 stars from me and I can't wait to come back! P.S This isn't fast food- expect to wait a bit. Trust me it will be worth the wait! And oh, the dining room is freezing. Bring a coat , and eat fast so your pizza doesn't get cold.

However, my biggest concern was the seating arrangement. The tables were pushed very close together, making it difficult to have a private conversation with my guest. The people seated next to us were having a lively conversation, which is wonderful, but because the tables were so close, their conversation was right beside ours, and I struggled to concentrate on our own discussion. I think this seating arrangement works well for larger groups, but for a party of two, it would be nice to have a little more space and privacy. I would probably prefer sitting on the patio next time, if available. Unfortunately, having a comfortable space to enjoy a conversation is important to me, so I'm not sure I would return. That said, the restaurant itself is very good, and I would still recommend it to others who may not mind the close seating arrangement.

She was full of energy, and extremely informative. So ordered the Spinach & Artichoke Dip mushroom. This was really good! I would go back for this alone. The portion size is sharable for 2 people. The bread and butter.....Oh lawd! That butter is so soft and fluffy! This is where you need to be careful! Or you will be full before your meal comes out! The beginning of the disappointment! Then the sad salad came out! This was some Iceberg lettuce, and a few croutons, and the salad dressing was just creamy, and flavorless! They could have thrown some tomatoes and onions on that salad! it is an Italian restaurant, right? Just saying Mushroom Sauce We read this dish wrong, we were expecting white sauce with mushrooms, it was a marinara sauce. I wouldn't have ordered this 1 of 2 options for the vegetarians. But this sounds like the mushrooms are sauteed in the sauce. No! It looks like they opened a can of stewed cut tomatoes and laid a few mushrooms on top! No effort at all with seasoning it. It was just bland. Didn't even want to take it home and doctor it up. I literally just took about 4 bites, and I couldn't eat anymore! I should have ordered Mizithra Cheese & Browned Butter instead of the mushroom sauce pasta! Maria was super nice and asked how we liked it! We told her we didn't. She offered to get us something else, and we chose not to accept her offer. The star of the show! Spumoni Ice Cream Our classic blend of chocolate, cherry, and pistachio ice cream! This was so good, loved all the flavors. I would add this to my, would go back for, if I was going to go back. They need to do better!
