The sauce was just the right amount of sweet, the combination of the crispy crust and warm melted cheese was perfect and the pepperoni added a nice spice to round it out. đyum

I ordered the Lemonade cupcake. I loved the balance between the sweet of the icing and the sour of the lemon! It was so delicious!!!

Pizza was perfectly cooked with high quality ingredients and you could tell they make their own crust and sauce, would definitely order from them again. Pickup went smoothly and order was ready at the requested time.

Food was ready on time, we are at the workplace and are busy so this is important to us and they were on-point. Online system worked great. Staff were friendly. Food was a little pricy, but not unexpected given it was on-site service. Quality if good was good. Original take on pizza. Was nice to get fresh cooked food at work.
