    I’ve been waiting to go to Truly since they opened. I was VERY impressed with the decor and ambience of the restaurant and the staff was very knowledgeable and very helpful. My only call-out would be that the two square pizzas we ordered were not hot when they arrived (but a very small issue compared to how great the meal was!)

    The wedge salad was delicious.! The pizza was suberb! Service was great! Atmosphere with fireplace and heaters was very cozy! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that they were out of all sparkling wine and had limited wine choices. Server informed us that they were changing their wine menu and no longer carried most of the wines on the menu. I know restaurants change their wine menus often, however, I have never experienced a nice restaurant depleting their inventory while changing over.

    My husband got scratched across the forehead by a lemon branch at the host station. I noticed the 6” gash when we sat down and alerted the server so the branch could be delt with. The manager came over and apologized but didn’t even offer a free ice cream for my husband’s bloody forehead. We bought 6 entrees for 4 people and we left with a bad taste in our mouths

    We went to truly pizza for my birthday and it was amazing from start to finish. Linda, our server was the best server ever! She explained the whole menu to us, was super attentive, and just and all around kind person! The champion pizza has the best crust ever, I could not get over it! Their ice cream is so creamy, smooth, and delicious. The ambiance is so special with the lemons and greenery all outdoors. It was a special night and we will definitely be back!

    Service and ambience were great 😊 Slightly disappointed with the pizza- just pretty salty. The beautiful patio and great service made up for it.

    We went for lunch to celebrate a birthday. It was a nice day but they had heat lamps on which is nice not to have to worry about having a jacket on for lunch. The service and food are outstanding. The salads are all great and the pizza is really amazing! The garlic rolls were a little doughy. The free birthday dessert was a vanilla soft serve. We were advised we would be under a 90 minute table limit when we were seated so keep that in mind.

    As always, the food was amazing! We had two different pizzas and a salad and brought some of the pizza home because it’s quite a bit and everything was wonderful. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is the service was a little slow and it was really cold out so they brought us a blanket, but it took a long time to get it. We’ll definitely be going back in for the food and ambiance and everything. 😊
