"Been ordering food of this place for 2 decades. Joe left in summer. Quality of food under new ownership has been declining. Today was the worse. Literally threw away the food. They say a new owner is coming in Feb. Sad."

"Week one: Beef Stew Special. Beautiful. A little more like broth than gravy, but chock full of beef & vegetables. Week two: Lasagna. Limited supply, family recipe. Added a salad at home and it fed me for two nights. Congenial mom & pop vibe. A very pleasant place for weeknight take out."

"We typically never order a Sicilian pie but for some reason we were tempted to today. Having never ordered from here and after reading the rave reviews, we decided to place our order for a basic cheese Sicilian pizza. I walked in and found out from the gentleman at the counter that they had recently ("

"save your money on this place, its under new ownership. this dude Ed lol. Joe obviously isnt running it anymore. his pizza maker Bobby "cooks" your pizza at a high temp and barely leaves it in. theyre spending maybe 5 minutes *total* on each pizza and the result really reflects that. it's basically pizza soup, and when you pick up a slice everything just slides off. youre met with a green/grey piece of raw dough with a soggy black bottom. the old owner, Joe, was awesome. been going here for 20+ years, since i was a kid. under new ownership they have absolutely tarnished their reputation. Ed is rude and the pizza is completely disgusting. no doubt in the world the worst pizza ive ever seen. wasnt cooked at all, and when i brought it back he didn't follow health codes. just threw our *raw flatbread* pizza back into the oven for two minutes and all he did was burn the crust and hand it back. the whole time he was very sharp and insulting. the picture is taken right before we took it back. it was supposed to be pepperoni, onion, and green pepper. they had the audacity to tell us we ordered it wrong. is that worth $15-20 to you? nah go to dominos instead."

"Lucky to live in a town that has a local spot like this. I selfishly do not want to let others know about this hidden gem, but Joe is the best and deserves all the business he can handle. CASH ONLY."
