Penninis blew it tonight. The person on the phone had little patience to start. Bad tone. I honestly don’t know how ya’ll got this so wrong today. I ordered dry wings, a marguerite pizza and penne pasta with shaved parm, plus a side of meatballs. What I got was cheese pizza with tomato and raw garlic on top. Chicken wings covered in way too much raw garlic and plain pasta with dry meatballs…. Plus I waited nearly 2 hours for a delivery from about a mile away. Worst $50 I have spent in a while. The food was barely edible for all the garlic in everything. Horrible choice tonight. Won’t be spending my hard earned money at a place that can’t get a simple order right for a local and deliver it in a timely manner.

One of moraga’s longest gems. As a Moraga native, every time I go into town, it is a must to stop here. The staff is always very friendly and hard working. Not to mention, the current owner, Pat, employs several locals as well as Saint Mary’s students, which deeply impacts the community. Thank you for keeping this place alive!

This place has really good food and pizza! I love the sauce they put in it! This is also another lunch stop of mine! The people here are cool and every time I come in here, the one thing that comes to mind is “these people love their jobs and like working here”! The only reason I took off a star is because they are a little pricey! But other than that, if you don’t want chain pizza, come on down here!

I can’t remember having a coffee as good as this. Totally stepped up their coffee game a few months ago, now they’re best I’ve had in Bris. Absolutely spot on

Stopped in here craving some pizza and they didnt disappoint. Not too thin and not too thick. Tasted fresh. Their good beer selection didnt hurt either. Excellent customer service.
