Loved the bands. We seen Boris he was a solo band from Russia. The second band were the Zimmerman twins and they were great to...not being judgmental but from the looks of it from the outside I was kinda like huh....but the pizza was amazing the staff were polite and it was all the way around a fun place to be.
It's kind of a dive hole in the wall type of place. You go up to a window and place your order. You have to go to the bar and get your drink. You get your own paper plates and plastic utensils sit and wait for your name to be called. Once your name is called that's when the magic happens. The pizza is just out of the park. I'm almost at a loss of words on how great it was. They had unique pre-created pizzas or design your own. The toppings were very fresh. Wish they didn't charge more for carryout. I will definitely be coming back.
Cool vibe music food very small place limited seating. Ive ate here in the past had Pizza 🍕 was great. This time not great but good. Still like the vibe here.
Hands down the best pizza I’ve had in a long time outside of Chicago and NYC. Their thin crust is done perfectly- crispy, cracker thin, and they never skimp on toppings. Having lived in Pittsburgh before moving to the Toledo area, we’ve been blown away by the food scene here, and this place is a standout. Live music adds to the great vibes, making it an all around fantastic spot. Highly recommend!
They have some really good pizzas.... this time, I got just cheese! It definitely hit the spot! Also, I love the building it's in! Really great atmosphere! But no table service! You order your food at the window, which did come out pretty fast, but you have to get all drinks at the bar... even water! Maybe a water location would be a good idea! Just put out cups and a water dispenser. Would be a great idea! I had to wait in line a couple of times to get refills! And we went on a Wednesday at 430pm. Can see this be harder when they get really busy! But overall great food and great vibes!
