The best little star location I’ve been to! Everything came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. The Roasted Cauliflower appetizer is a must—crispy, light, and perfect alongside the pizzas. I ordered the Detroit-style BBQ “chicken” pizza and swapped the chicken and bacon for asparagus and broccolini—worked perfectly, and I loved it. For drinks, the Black Basil is a winner; the Aviation was a bit odd for my taste. Great service, stylish decor, and fantastic food—what’s not to love?

6.8 💥 I had this spot on my pizza list to try out. I arrived around 2pm on a Saturday and got seated right away. The pizza great, I loved the Chicago style and the thin pizza Pesto chicken was ok. I will return for the thin pepperoni pizza and update review score if needed. If you are in the area try this place out. 👊🏽

Ordered the goddess salad and the deep dish Italian combo. The salad wasn’t tossed well and dressing seemed scarce. It certainly didn’t taste like pesto either so it was a bit disappointing. The deep dish tasted fine, but the crust was thick. Biting into the leftover the next day. You can see how much crust there is. It’s not a true deep dish. Overall, it was just okay. It didn’t blow us away.

I went with a party /group of 13 people including children because we had great food and an awesome server named Airadina (spelling could be wrong). The roasted cauliflower was the highlight of dinner …you must order some! I guaranteed you will love eating them. The cheese bread is another favorite that was thick and had the right amount of cheese. We ordered 3 pizzas and still took home leftovers. Interesting, that you are able to select from three different thin, Detroit or Chicago style . We did the Detroit and thin pizzas…which were all a success. All the ingredients are fresh and not canned ( well they did not taste canned…lol) if you are looking for a back east tasting pizza this is the place to go!
