There was a dog in the restaurant by my table while I was eating unfortunately I was too nervous to say anything. Other than that everything was really cool I guess. Thanks Phillipe Chow.

One of the best pizzas I have had in my life. Crust was perfect. Crunchy, extremely thin and the combination of flavors of the “don’t tell Gordon” was exquisite.
