“ The pizza was delicious, the service was great. We have a family of 6 and they have large tables to accommodate. Honestly some of the best pizza I have ever had. I did not catch the man working front of houses name but he was very nice and made the environment very welcoming. Also he reminded me of post Malone which was not a bad thing lol. Overall Great experience. ”
“ What a great first experience! Zack, who greeted us and took our order, was a very nice young man. When i explained my food allergy, he immediately assured me that the kitchen would change gloves and utensils to avoid cross-contamination. The manager/ owner made my pizza herself and came out to check on me. Our food was delicious and we'll definitely be back! ”
“ 5 stars all day Pizza is amazing as were the salads Staff was very nice and it was one of the cleanest restaurants I’ve been to in a long time. I had the tomato basil Sicilian slice along with a very fresh salad and homemade (I think) ranch dressing. Prices were very reasonable and I can’t wait to go back to try their personal pizza. Definitely check this place out. ”
“ Just had a delicious pepperoni pizza. The size was good and it’s a great deal for a couple of people to have a meal for 20! The guy working was friendly and it was ready super fast. The atmosphere was ok. It is mid afternoon so that may have something to do with it. Just a little quiet inside. I’m glad I decided to give it a try, I’ll definitely be back! ”
“ One of the top pizza spots in town. Only the highest quality meats and veggies. Sauce is amazing. In a town with 100000 pizza spots this is easily onenog the top ranking spots. Lets be real. Swerve the chicken line and grap a pie. ”
“ As a lifelong New Yorker who has been eating pizza before I had all my teeth, this place is hands down the best pizza spot in Charlottesville in terms of price and quality of food. The people who work there are always courteous, polite, and genuinely happy to be there. Support this local business, you won’t regret it. And if something isn’t right, don’t worry, they will try and make it right. ”
