This palce gets a big fat ZERO from me....and I LOVE pizza. The food was less than impressive and the quality of ingredients used was poor, very poor. First, I had to wait until anyone even acknowledged my existence, then all I got was a "hey can someone seat that guy at the door". Once I was seated the experience just went down hill from there. My wife and I waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited for our server who was less than professional when he came to the table. His intro was "you guys know what you want already"? we should have bolted for teh door right then, but we were hungry. The pizza was BLAND, TASTELESS and down right not worth the hard earned $$$ to pay for it. My wife had the sub and it was equally as unimpressive. We LITERALLY NEVER saw our waiter again...LITERALLY. I went to the stand, got a menu and calculated the bill, left EXACTLY what it should have been and walked out. NEVER again will we go there.
Pros: Parking
Cons: Everyhting elese associated with this place

On a Wednesday night, waited over 15 minutes and nobody even acknowledged that we were there. Never got a menu, never even a "we will be with you in a minute". Restuarant wasn't terribly busy, but apparently only 1 wait staff who was evidently overwhelmed. I will never go back and told others not to waste their time.
Cons: Service very poor...had to seat myself.

Well, the service was not bad - and that is the best thing I can say. The pizza was awful - sauce that was as bland nd tasteless as tomato soup, crust that tasted like crackers, flat soda that had a soapy after taste. Save your money - definately NOT worth it.

I would not recommend trying the Chicken Parmesan or Eggplant Gourmet Sandwhiches. The Chicken Parmesan : the meat was dry, vinegar marinade, mustard came slathered on the bread which is considered "All the Way" plus 2 tomatoe slices, some lettuce. I think there was some mozzarella cheese. and no parmesan to be found. Very scant fillings between the bread. Which is better than what I can say for the Eggplant sub. Just simply disgusting. Sparce feta cheese, scant filling between the bread, dry of course, eggplant plainly baked not breaded and fried/baked. Just a real wast of my money and time. I do not recommned ordering these items. I did not try the pasta, I came in a a walk in for take out food. Gross. Never going back.
Pros: easy street access, lots of space, open late
Cons: dimly lit, subs horrible taste

The food here is excellent. However, in the few times I've decided to eat here, I've been so agitated from the wait that it's hard to enjoy it. After being seated, you might wait 5-10 minutes before your server returns to take your order. You can also easily wait 20 minutes to see your server again, when he/she brings your food! To add insult to injury, the parmesan cheese I requested for my pasta wasn't delivered until I was halfway through my meal. This is definitely NOT the place to go if you are time restricted!
Pros: food, value
Cons: , twait
