Their regular pizza is phenomenal but I'm truly a fan of their amazing Sicilian slices. But the absolute best thing they have is a cheesesteak (seasonal). It's so incredibly well done, they use actual coopers sharp and stack it with steak. Truly the best cheesesteak I've had on the west coast

Wow! Way better than we expected. If you like thin crust pizza, try Marley G…read more Trying a new (to us) pizza place and Marley G is excellent. Great thin crust pizza. We thoroughly enjoyed the Garbage Pie. Though we got it to go, the place is clean and well decorated. We'll probably eat there next time. Definitely returning. The ingredients are high quality and the prices are comparable to other places on the island. It's good value. The staff is friendly and service is good Thanks for the great pizza and service.

I've always known about this spot but finally got the chance to try it last night. We originally…read moreplanned to go to another pizza place, but the wait was long and they closed early for a Saturday, so we ended up here--and we're so glad we did. Everything from the service to the overall vibe was great. The drinks were well balanced, not too sweet or too strong. The garlic cheese bread was honestly one of the best we've had--crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with the perfect amount of cheese and garlic. Their ranch was really good too, probably house made. We also ordered the Old School Detroit-style pizza and it was cooked perfectly with crispy edges and super flavorful sauce. Definitely coming back.

We came with our dogs -- one service animal (vested) and two tiny dogs in bags -- so we requested…read morean outdoor table. We specifically asked about the heater and were told they'd "send someone to turn it on." Later, when our waiter said he didn't know how, I went back to the hostess, and she immediately said, "Oh, they aren't working." So why not just say that from the start? They clearly already knew the three outdoor heaters were out of gas. It's winter -- something guests should be told upfront. We asked if we could sit inside and were told no because they had "only one waiter." Yet I saw at least four different servers working. We stayed only because we had already ordered -- we're not shady like that -- but honestly, transparency would've saved everyone the trouble. Food: *Caesar salad was cut oddly and overpriced. *Pesto pizza tasted more like spinach -- one of the least flavorful "pesto" pizzas I've had. *Two dirty water cups. *Asked for ice twice and never got it. *Sodas only came after asking twice. Other issues: *One bathroom stall was completely out of toilet paper. *The lock on the handicap stall didn't work. The only standout was The All Star pizza -- that one was actually very good. Overall, not worth the visit. Better communication, working heaters, and basic attention to service and facilities would've made a huge difference.

Also answered all my questions that I had about the menu. They let me know how time before the order was ready. The one downside was their text system wasn't working to let me know the food was ready, so I had to call back. The place was packed when I arrived to pick up the food. The food was still warm and everyone loved it. Paparoni pizza was delicious I love the sweet and savory taste. The Caesar was good but the croutons were a little stale. Chicken wings were perfectly fried but I would say need a little more seasoning. The Rigatoni was delicious, the sauce was super thick and flavorful. Definitely will be coming back to dine in!

This has to be my favorite pizza outside of NYC! I have tried many pizzas in different styles all…read moreover the country, and this went straight to the top 3. The sauce was perfectly tangy, which is just how I like it. There was also a lot of sauce, which I also prefer, without the crust getting soggy. The crust was crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside. It wasn't too oily and the cheese wasn't too salty. I loved the grated parmesan. Literally a perfect slice of pizza. The garlic knots were also amazing, even though they didn't really have a strong garlic flavor. The bread tasted buttery and didn't even need marinara dipping sauce because it was scrumptious on its own. It was soooo soft! The spicy vodka fusilli wasn't my favorite and I wouldn't order it again. It was just too simple and lacked depth. I would recommend skipping the pasta and order pizza only! The ranch had a tang to it which I did not like (had to pay for ranch). The downside was the wait to be seated (about 30 minutes) due to the small restaurant and the service. They do have a small amount of outdoor seating. Despite having many employees standing behind the counter, our server was the sole person tending to us when he was already busy assisting other tables and even bussing them. The food was served pretty quickly after ordering, but no one was able to come back and ask us if we needed anything (such as water refills). Our server was really kind but unfortunately looked overworked. It just didn't seem like they had strong teamwork, such as others helping even when they're not asked to. The soft serve ice cream was absolutely delicious and also 10/10 for flavor and texture. I would love to try it with olive oil next time! To get a tasty pizza while avoiding the slow service, I think I will opt for ordering online for takeout when I come back. Also, parking is pretty challenging during busy hours such as dinner. There is a bathroom for customers.

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.

Service was excellent and I love how the servers have all worked at this restaurant for a long time - staff retention is a rare thing these days. The burrata and prosciutto appetizer was very tasty and the beet salad was refreshing and healthy. We enjoyed the prosciutto pizza that had a nice truffle scent. The pastas were also excellent - we had the oxtail ravioli and the butternut squash agnolotti. The mixed seafood platter was very good and they added additional shrimp and scallops for us. The branzino and salmon were my favorite. Nice selection of cocktails, beer, and mocktails. The dessert menu has a nice variety. We got the zabaglione with berries and the chocolate cake with salted caramel ice cream to end the night. Def a nice place for large groups to get dinner and drinks.

I HIGHLY recommend the burrata and hot honey pizza! I also love the white pizza with their ranch and Mama's Boy Magic. It is mostly thin crust, crispy pizza, but they have some other options. I've tried the thick crust focaccia pizza and wasn't as impressed as with the thin slice. As for the location, it is street parking, but I have never struggled to find parking. The shop itself is a little small, with a couple tables outside and some inside. The service is quick and the pizza is always hot!

i have heard so many wonderful things about this place but unfortunately my experience was honestly…read morebad enough to make it so i won't be returning. i paid $14 (including tip) for 2 slices of pepperoni pizza to go. the interaction with the worker who took my order was not the issue. where it all went wrong was when i was handed my pizza slices... they put the pizza slices in a paper bag with no plate, just straight raw on the bag and folded the bag so it was partly closed but still had a gap. i was shocked. honestly blown away that would even be an option for the food to be given to any customer. there was multiple stacks of pizza boxes behind them so i asked if i could get one as in my opinion that's the basic standard for pizza. i walked 2 blocks back to my apartment and the pizza was cold. in no world should my pizza be cold in a less than 5 minute walk. i thought to myself okay this pizza has great reviews let me eat it and it'll make all of this worth it. it was not. the pizza is basic, nothing exciting about it and for the price point i was expecting much more. even after adding hot honey and ranch the grease took over the flavor and i only ended up eating one slice before throwing it away. hopefully this was a singular experience, out of the ordinary and just so happen to happen to me only because for $14 i'm expecting much more flavor , better taste and pizza that stands out from the norm. i'm disappointed to say the least and overall upset that i wasted my money and my time on this place.

All I did was asking "can I please have two set of utensils" then she went on saying that I shouldn't open my mouth to say anything to her. If she did her job right in the first place I wouldn't even waste my time to go back in there the second time!!! On Uber the store name is under Straw Hat pizza, and if you're a first time here you couldn't even find the name on the app at all. Don't waste your money and your time to come to this place. The pizza wasn't good, the pasta was soak with sauce and soggy. Inside the store is was dark you just got the unwelcome feeling when you walk in. I wouldn't go back here at all. First time and last for me.
