Ordered here after lopoking at reviews on DoorDash and Google. The 8 Garlic Knots have a nice crispy outside and pillowy soft inside. Someone, somewhere, recommended they heat the marinara, and they listened. Overall, the Margherita pizza was okay. I ordered olive oil and garlic sauce because I don't like marinara on this pizza. The sauce was fresh. The crust was exactly what I was looking for. Crispy but also fluffy, I'm not finding the words, but if you know, you know. I think it has herbs sprinkled on it, and that reminds me of my favorite pizza joint back home. There was a good amount of tomato and cheese, not too much, not too little. The basil is where it's lacking. when you only have a three ingredient pizza, you should get more than one or two bites per slice that have all three ingredients in it. Maybe if I ordered for pick up or dine it it would have been different, I'm not sure. But, overall a solid pizza and one of the better Margherita pizzas I've had living here.

GREAT:
The pizzas and New Yorker calzone were delicious! Everything was hot and fresh, too. The Lady Liberty Pie Pizza was the BEST. I added salami and black olives, which made it even better. I will definitely order that again, but will probably get the thicker crust like a pan. When I saw"Pie" in the title, I thought it would be thick like a pan, but it was just regular crust. I'm not from New York LOL so I misunderstood. The Meatlovers was perfect on the regular crust and might even be better on the thin crust. It was really good but nothing spectacular like the Lady Liberty. Those two pizzas were very different in a good way...complimented each other for a variety of tastes within the same meal.
NEEDS IMPROVEMENT:
I would have given 5 stars except the pepperoni stick barely had any pepperoni inside...only in the middle section...the large ends were just cheese and thick dough. If you call it a pepperoni stick, I would prefer pepperoni inside most of the stick except the very ends. I don't want just cheese and dough. Another pizza place sells those, and the entire stick is packed with pepperoni...that is what makes it delicious. I would also prefer that the marinara sauce is warmed before placed inside cup. My cups for both the calzone and pepperoni stick were ice cold...not good for dipping and had to heat it up myself. Lastly, the "Big" cookies were NOT big LOL and tasted badly. There were 3 small chocolate chip cookies that were overcooked...dark brown and very hard. Old? I expected at least 1 large, soft cookie that would melt in my mouth. Grocery store cookies are better than these. I heated them 15 seconds...still hard....heated another 20 then immediately drizzled chocolate syrup all over them to moisten them. The heat with syrup was enough to soften them so I could enjoy a little sugary chocolate dessert. However, that was totally disappointing. I've been on a no sugar (or very low) diet for a month, and that was my splurge treat. I should have ordered one of their regular desserts, but I love cookies!
Anyhow, as I said before, the pizzas were delicious, as well as the calzone...highly recommend those items...will order again!

The Reg. Specialty Calzone was awesome. Highly recommend. It's a generous size with just the right amount of crisp to the dough. They were also generous with the filling. Will definitely be ordering again.
