"The honey bbq sauce is always amazing! However, I got my spinach artichoke dip cold and almost stale chips. Also, the quesadilla was great, but I feel like it could have had a few more chicken and tomato bits in it; most of it was just cheese. Definitely nailed the Brew Pub Pretzels & Beer Cheese Dip and the chicken platter. "

"Don't know if it was just because they were buy one get one free, but felt like the two pies I ordered had the same amount of steak you usually get on one. Value and quality was still there though especially with the bogo."
"I specifically tapped an item that was 40% off and the sale price was five and change and I ordered two of them. It was a craft your own or build your own pizza and then when I receive the order it turns out it's not five dollars it's actually eight dollars and change and they only gave me one so not only did I not get the amount of food that I ordered, but I didn't even pay the price that was on the tag when I hit submit on my order."

"Food was pretty good! The mozz sticks are different from what's pictured, they're the usual handmade ones (the ones in the pics are giving Sheetz style but mine did not look like that lol--still good though). Marinara sauce on the side for both which was nice, it's very sweet. I would recommend others to order here. I think next time, my order would be other items to try but nothing was bad!"
"pizza shell was upside down. these are premade square typical of the area so the smooth top you apply the sauce to was used as the bottom resulting in a greasy shell the texture of a burned tortilla. They no longer spread their sauce which leaves half the pizza slice just crust. Their cheese blend is now not a blend, and just oily mozzarella. The quality has greatly declined, while the prices have skyrocketed during a time where even rent isn't affordable."

"The Loaded Baked Potato Soup is honestly the best I've ever had in my life, I was blown away. The creamines, cheese, the flavors, its the perfect combination and best soup around! The Caprese Panini melted in your mouth, with amazing flavors it was delicious! My son and hubs loved the Neapolitan Pizza Pie and my son is picky with his pizza and scarfed it down no problem. We we definitely be ordering from here again, thank you!"
"This was my first time ordering from this restaurant, but it won't be my last. Everything was excellent!! I had ordered the Regular Pizzetta, the Garlic Knots, and the Jumbo Chicken Wings. The pizza is exactly what I thought it would be, thin– crusted and flavorful. The garlic knots were made perfectly. Some restaurants don't season them enough while other restaurants use too much oil making them way too heavy and greasy. These garlic knots had just the right amounts of everything. The marinara for dipping was good as well. The jumbo chicken wings were even bigger than I thought they would be!! A lot of restaurants claim to have "jumbo" chicken wings, but a lot of them end up being regular-sized chicken wings. These jumbo chicken wings were huge!! They seemed to be oven roasted and seasoned, and then sauced at the end with your choice of sauce. The chicken wings themselves without the added wing sauce already had a lot of flavor to them, but the added wing sauce was just the cherry on top!! The mild wing sauce was one of the best mild wing sauces I have ever had. They also made sure to make the wings very saucy which I loved!! A lot of places anymore can be stingy with the amount of sauce they put on their wings, but this place is not. Overall, this was a great experience and I can't wait to try other items from this restaurant!!"

"Macaroni & Cheese was actually so good my picky 3 y/o ate it. Chicken Fingers & Fries were also great. Buffalo Chicken Wrap was amazing . just enough sauce to chicken."
"Very good NY style pizzas. Toppings added to the pizzas were plentiful. Also excellent stromboli and calzone. Generous pepperoni and cheese in my stromboli. However, they forgot the 3 marinara sauces, which was an additional small charge for each. But I'm sure that was a rare oversight, and I'll still order from them again. The food is indeed great!"
