    Service was excellent. Pizza was not bad, a little overpriced. Looks like they have different food and drink specials every day of the week.

    Literally at a loss for words…..Right off the bat the bartender Lindsey was amazing. So nice and explained all the history of the food and business. THE WINGS ARE 10/10. We had the Sensei Pizza and it too was a freaking 10/10. Not a rookie score…..CALIENTES IS THAT FIRE

    Ordered a simple 8 slice pizza, after a 30 minute wait I saw MY pizza get placed at another table. Those customers proceeded to grab a slice until they realize it wasn’t theirs and placed it back down. 10 seconds later the server brought out their pizza, grabbed ours, and brought it over to my table. As in the same pizza these other customers touched. Now for the pizza itself. It was a basic pepperoni and banana peppers 16” pizza. Worst pizza I have ever had hands down. Dough uncooked, uneven dough, overly cheesed (so much it didn’t melt all the way and was still in shreds), way too many toppings, and to top it off they managed to cut only 7 slices all of which were different sizes.
