    This was our first time here. We happened to be in the area and the granddaughter wanted pizza. So, we found this place when we were driving around. Really unique inside, had that old time Italian feeling. I wish they had pasta or spaghetti something that the granddaughter loves but she did love the pizza. She got a personal pizza and she loved it!

    We’ve been coming to Traverse City for years and just recently discovered this gem of a place! Got the Chicago Special first time around and keep coming back again and again for it! The flavors and cheese are everything you could want in a pizza. Don’t be thrown by the “no sauce“ description. The crushed tomatoes more than make up for the lack of sauce and add a whole new experience to this pizza.

    Nice location in Traverse City. We had high expectations given that the restaurant has been around a long time. Expectations even went up when we ordered because the price of the pizza was very high. The food is obviously very low quality. It was prepared well, but just not good ingredients. Very expensive for what we got. Most expensive pizza we've ever purchased, but no better than any other pizza shop. Salad was not worth it either. Out of a bag and no dressing options. Also awkwardly presented. Staff did only what was necessary, however, one of the three pizzas we ordered got damaged in the kitchen, so they remade it without even asking. Would definitely try another shop before going back.
