We were in town for a concert and looked up nearby places to eat. Pizza sounded good when this place came up, so off we went. When we pulled up, the place looked abandoned at first, but we saw the glowing neon open sign, so we went in and gave it a shot.

I love this fast food restaurant! The food here is always fresh and pleasant, and the service is excellent. The atmosphere in the restaurant is relaxed and fun, making it a great place to gather with friends. The menu has a lot of delicious options, and the prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be back again and recommend it to friends.

Wings were extremely over cooked (threw them away), barely any sauce on them, and didn’t come with blue cheese as ordered. Pizza was pretty basic and kind of rubbery. Would leave no stars if I could. Save yourself some time and just get dominoes.

Do not eat here they have HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, with many health code violations and RACIST VIBES ! If I could give this hole in the wall 0 stars I would. My fiance and I decided to go get some chicken last night when we walked in the lady that took our order stared at us with the look like she he has never seen two black people before (if you are black you know what stare I’m referring too) she didn’t greet us as at all. While taking our order with her toes out and flip flops on she proceeded to give my fiance a unprofessional attitude while taking our order. As we sat in the lobby we noticed there refrigerators are located in the lobby. Food should not be stored where customers eat at. For what reason I have no idea. When our food was done I asked the lady that took our order for ketchup and hot sauce. After giving me a disgusting look she slammed the ketchup packets on the counter and handed us our food. She didn’t say “thank you for coming” or “have a nice night” just a cold stare. I repeat again DO NOT EAT HERE! ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE BLACK they do not appreciate our money. Go somewhere your money is appreciated. When we arrived home we began to eat , and the food was below average. I would rather eat a bowl of cereal for dinner in the comfort of my own home then ever ever eat here again. The baked beans tasted horrible , right along with the coleslaw. The fries were overcooked and undercooked. Even as a last result do not eat here.

I got there and the parking lot was empty(for good reason) and I went into a mostly clean building with a cashier who was very dismissive of me. I got my very basic cheese pizza and went home. Both my date and I enjoyed the food for a bit. Until about 2 hours later when we both started to feel off. We both got food poising and feel awful. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anybody with a stomach. If you want pizza and it’s late, just go to toppers.

At first I thought we came to wrong address as the parking lot was empty and the weed filled flower beds gave the appearance of being abandoned. The open sign was lit so we went on inside,. Place was clean and quiet I must say we came because they offer cauliflower crust pizza so I cannot say how the chicken or regular pizza is. We did not care for cauliflower pizza but the toppings we’re good and it was smoking hot when it arrived at our table. Staff was friendly good customer service. Next time might try something different. We did get a discount for being first time customers.

Very disappointed in what this place has become. Looks like a storage closet inside, the staff was hard to find. Food was hot, but chicken strips seemed over-cooked. If you want one thing to say it all — the delivery driver came inside holding a bag from Chick-fil-A; sat down by us; and commenced to eating Chick-fil-A for dinner. I don’t plan on going back ever again.

Twice I’ve ordered delivery. The first time it didn’t even get delivered to my house it got delivered at some other house and I waited 2 weeks for the refund to happen. 2nd time the pizza was 45 minutes past their estimated delivery time and all I got was a sorry the driver is on his way from whatever lady answered the phone. I’ll never order again.

We ordered from this place for the first time the other night since we were craving pizza and this hit the spot. We got a large Stella’s Garlic Combo pizza and a side of garlic bread. Delivery didn’t take long and the pizza was very flavorful. We even had enough leftovers for a second meal. We really want to try their other specialty pizzas as some seem to have some very interesting combinations of toppings.
