  Everything was good. With that being said, if you're looking for great Italian food, this isn't it. You should come here expecting great service and good food—something different for a night out. Nothing blew us away as far as the food goes. Their pizza crust, sauce, and toppings are all handmade and made fresh daily. The toppings are cut the day of. My wife ordered the Cajun shrimp and added chicken. If you don't like raw vegetables in your cooked dishes, you might be disappointed. The sauce had great flavor; however, the raw onion and green peppers weren't cooked and were still crunchy, which wasn't the vibe. I ordered the creamy chicken mostaccioli. The baccon gave the sauce a nuce smoky flavor. The sauce was creamy and thick which I enjoy. Overall, it was good. We drove over an hour to try it, and we're glad we did. It isn't a place we will go out of our way for, but if we happen to be in the area, we know where to stop.

  A very busy place! They have very large portions, you won't leave hungry! The service was great, the waitress handled a very busy section with ease. The prices are decent for the lake area. We ordered pizza on another evening and it was excellent!

  Our pizza tasted like a frozen pizza with toppings thrown on after. Crust wasn’t crispy and it was cold. We were hungry after being out on the water all day but definitely left disappointed. Best pizza on our trip hands down has been Redheads! Our last meal in the Ozarks let us down. No need to post on here about making it right. Our server should’ve asked before we left. I assume she was embarrassed too bringing us out that cold, uncooked pizza. She didn’t bother asking how everything was so had to leave a review.

  Just okay. Honestly I’m surprised this place has such high reviews. The food is underwhelming. Edible if you add enough salt and pepper but otherwise very bland. I had a the fettuccine Alfredo and the chicken was completely flavorless. The garlic cheese bread had zero flavor but the marinara was decent. The pizza looked good but can’t comment on it we didn’t have it. The service was good so no complaints there. I think there are much better options at the lake if you want good Italian, but I guess it’s fine in a pinch. I would still give the pizza a chance considering their marinara was decent.

  Food was good…. We had to wait 17 minutes prior to being an acknowledged. Only 2 tables - The hostess- lunch bartender did everything to avoid our request to seek out a server. When communication was made she said your server will be a few more minutes. No second Service , had to ask for ticket and to go boxes. The moral is obviously questionable as the grime and molded food crumbs are in the base boards and side of tables with metal strips have grime. What a legend place to see is rapidly in decline.
