"AMAZING GLUTEN FREE PIZZA, it's a rice flour crust ...crispy! The pizza burger was very large, meaty, cheesy and delicious per my dining partner!"
Kim Hill
"This was take out, it was done in 20 minutes and sure did look and taste like it. Snappy wings and tasteless pizza. Two large pizzas and two dozen wings was $94… one small cup of blue cheese for the 24 wings. Typical medium pizza being sold as a large… pizza was bland, the “supreme” has pep, sausage, peppers, and mushrooms… you should keep your expectations low after paying $31 for the “supreme”… the topping proportions are skimpy! I could have went to the local steakhouse and paid for 5 at this price."

"Cute little old school place in a strip mall. I bet their regular pizza is great, I have to eat gluten free so that's what I got. I called the order in on the phone then decided to eat there, the person at the register was very polite both on the phone and in person. Gluten free crust is always a bit uninteresting, but the sauce was very nice. They served it in a metal pan which indicated to me they took precautions to keep it off the floor of the oven where the gluten would be. Would order from here again."

Fulton St., which felt like a piece of Italian Brooklyn in our own backyard. Our pizza was actually served on white ceramic plates, a much appreciated detail, and the self-service beverage area includes large glass cups for drinking water. The pizza was fantastic.
