Fun, energetic environment. You can see the chef pulling pizzas from the oven and preparing them in front of you. I had the white egg pizza and it was very good. I also enjoyed the ricotta dumplings, they were much different than I expected. I have to dock them a star for the kale salad. I don’t know who ticked off the chef, but that salad needs a warning! Way too hot for someone who can’t handle their spice; couldn’t even finish one bite very disappointing. Otherwise, everything was great.

Simply delicious / incredible. Forgot to snip the pizzas. They were AMAZING. The kale salad was great. The seasonal pear dessert was truly incredible. This place is quite loud. But an industrial pizza young & hip vibe Didn’t need a Rez for a large group on a Tuesday night

I really don’t like sharing negative reviews, but we were honestly shocked at the quality of our pizza for the (very high) price. Our pizza came out with no browning on the cheese. We honestly suspect that the cheese was pre shredded. That is just not acceptable for a $20 12” pizza. We have heard great things about this place and this was our first visit. We will sadly not be back.

Love this place! Perfectly baked in wood fired oven. Unique pizza combos as well as more traditional options on menu. Vegan option on menu with cashew cheese. Espresso on dessert menu (but didn’t see vegan food on dessert menu). Little bar around the corner (past restrooms).

Some of the best pizza in my life. Shared 4 pies with colleagues and there wasn't a bite left. They were larger than we expected, but couldn't stop ourselves from eating everything. This was my first potatoes pizza experience and my life is better because of it. The place was packed but the service was great! We had beers at the bar while we waited a few mins for a table. I can't wait to come back.
