Outstanding! We had the VIP and the Angel pizzas and both were absolutely delicious. Cooked perfectly- the dough was thick, but light, and the crust was crunchy. Our service was wonderful- never invasive but always attentive. Prices were solid for Old Town and the ambiance was fun. It was our friend’s birthday and they included a brownie for him as we were wrapping up. A great experience and 10/10 highly recommend!

We went for Black Restaurant Week and had a wonder time! The menu they curated was very good. We ordered the devil eggs and flat bread for appetizers. Both were delicious. For the main course we ordered the Salmon and Pasta were amazing as well as the blueberry cobble! Derrick, our server was very informed and was able to assist us with ordering. He was very friendly and attened to us with impeccable service. We will be coming back!
