About

This spot is a total mixed bag. Some folks love the thick crust and cozy vibe, while others are put off by the mandatory gratuity and hit-or-miss service. It used to be a local favorite, but recent reviews suggest a decline in quality and consistency. You might get a great meal, or you might wait forever for cold food. It is definitely not the bang for the buck it once was.
