The pizza here is pretty good, especially for the price,
I got the chicken alfredo pasta, the flavor was really good, and there's a good amount of mushrooms and chicken in it, and the chicken is good, the only thing is the pasta is a little mushy, so it kind of all cakes together.

The Pepperoni with Hot Honey pizza has been pretty solid, just wish they put enough hot honey on there everytime. The Cheese Sticks are just not it. Do not order those if you wanted Cheese Sticks. They are giant finger crackers- denser and harder than pizza crusts.

Even with buy one get one, I still would not order again.
Could work with the Asiago Alfredo Fettuccine after adding some seasonings and liquid to thin out the gelatinous bland sauce
The Spaghetti & Meatballs was not edible. Sauce was bitter and tasteless and the noodles were the consistency of mashed potatoes, unsalted mashed potatoes
Would never ever order again
Second Star for packaging. Food alone is about 1/2 a stat

I got the GF for my Mom because, well, she's GF. Their normal pizza is 5 stars, but the GF one is not good. It's much smaller than the normal one, and it's not mentioned when you order it. I would not get it again. Also, they never updated DD to let us know when the order was ready. I haven't had issues with the normal pizza when ordering in.

The driver was there for 20 minutes waiting to pick up the order and the GPS location proved the driver was there. Apparently the staff forgot it by the kitchen and one of the pizzas came burnt.
