It was a perfect place to go. Almost everything about it was great. The only thing was we did have a reservation and were there 20min before our reservation but weren’t able to get a table. We sat at the bar while we waited for our table but it didn’t materialize. I would go again but either plan on the bar or get there even earlier to make sure we get a table.

Super good pizza. The remodel now had a mix of walk up counter service, pizza by the slice, or full order. To get a table that is reserved, you talk with the food at the bar. It still took about 15 min to be seated. Our server was super friendly. Great selection of pizzas.
