I think they might be growing the wheat for the dough in the back, because that’s the only explanation for why a single pizza took an hour to hit the table. Unless you have an afternoon to kill for one meal, I’d skip it. Total buzzkill.

I placed a takeout order and had a bit of a mixed experience, but the service saved it.
The Good:
Food: The meatballs were delicious and the Caesar salad was fresh and tasty.
Service: The staff was incredibly friendly and apologetic about the hiccups.
Atmosphere: Clean restaurant that smells AMAZING!
The Not-So-Good:
Availability: It was "Wing Wednesday." They informed me they couldn't fulfill that part of my order - they were out of wings.
Special Requests: I requested no bell peppers on my pie. They cooked it with bell pepper, and picked off the peppers after it was already cooked, instead of offering to make a new one.
Turnaround: The order took about an hour longer than it was scheduled to be ready.
Overall, the flavors are there and the staff is great, but the attention to detail on the order was a little lacking. I'd definitely give them another shot next time!

I got the margarita pizza. Had huge tomatoes that were a little too wet and garlic sauce on top was a bit much. Overall still a decent pizza. The crust had good flavor.

Came in with my daughter and felt instantly welcomed. Super easy, friendly vibe. The hot honey pizza was the standout, perfectly crispy with just the right amount of heat and sweetness. One of those places that feels local, cozy, and worth coming back to.

Someone driving a white Volkswagen SUV with a dough Mama sticker on both sides of the car cut me off extremely badly on the five going north today February 3rd at 9:30 in the morning. I had to slam on my brakes in order to not hit them. And they didn't even wave to apologize. This doesn't not look good for your business. You should probably tell whoever drives your cars to not drive unsafe at the very least while they're driving your cars.
