Customer Reviews

I placed an order this evening to celebrate our son's 16th birthday. I did not think about how I'd carry our 9 month old daughter and 4 pizza boxes to the car. The lady at the counter offered without hesitation or prompting to carry the items to my vehicle so I could have both hands free for carrying our daughter. When I got home the food was amazing like always and I'm thankful for the lady that offered to help a struggling mama out!!

Best garlic knots and dipping sauce in the area. They are a must order. Service was quick, friendly, and thoughtful. Ordered one Stromboli to share it cooked correctly top crust nice and brown not burnt and ingredients plentiful. We just said we were going to share the one. It was served cut and on two plates without asking. We ordered a two pizza special to go and they were brought to our table. After we finished eating and we never felt rushed. Definitely will be a frequent diner.

Great pizza buffet. I would come here again for the buffet. The pizza tastes comparably better than any other pizza buffet restaurants! This is also for a great price too. Maybe it was the way the restaurant was set up, but the interior looked a bit dark.

Buffet is a great deal. Food on the buffet is great but the pizza stays gone. They don' refill the pizza fast enough for the number of customers.
