    Wish there was more garlic and cheese but still good
    Amy B.

    This might be my new go to pizza place. The grandma pizza was amazing!! Garlic knots were good wish they had a little more garlic sauce would ask for more next time.

    Was in the area and decided to check this spot out! Interior looked nice and the menu was affordable. A slice of pizza is 2.99. So my type of spot. When placing the order we had asked for two slices of cheese. But once we got the box It was 3 slices of pepperoni, but we weren't mad though. We were actually glad to have It. My first bite into the pizza, I was like ahhh basic, but the more I ate It, the more flavor I consumed and It was amazing on my palette. From the crust to the sauce It was perfection. The crust even had a sweetness to It. Overall it's a cool mom and pop type of places with fellas holding the pizza oven down. Definitely would recommend them. Makes me wonder what's the difference between this spot and places in the Big Apple.

    I picked up dinner the other night for my husband and I. We have ordered pizza here a few times in the past and loved it! It is definitely a popular place for pizza in the area. We ordered the Chesapeake wings. Delicious, maybe a tad too much seasoning but nothing you can't swipe off. I ordered the kid's chicken parmesan (shhh, I act like a kid sometimes!) I thought the portion was plenty for me. My husband ordered the Italian Sub. Definitely light on the meat. Although he would give it a great mark for flavor, he couldn't get past it only having one slice of each meat on it. We have tried Italian cold cut subs all over the place. Unfortunately, it is a common theme for them not to be super filled. I also got a side of fries. Nothing super fancy! Overall, the food here is delicious and I will continue to order and highly recommend checking them out.

    Ordered 14 inch pizza. Half cheese and half pepperoni mushroom. Ready for carry out in about 15 minutes on a Saturday evening.

    Small pizza shop located in Giant's shopping center. The pizza was good. Nicely sauced. However, avoid their chicken wings!!! I cannot believe I paid money for these. They were dried and hard as a rock. Barely any meat left and overly seasoned! I've had bad wings but these definitely took the cake. I don't know if I'll try them again.

    Pretty decent pizza for the area. I think it's probably in the top 5 in the Pasadena, GB, SP area.

    Cypress was a very good overall experience. The restaurant was nice, clean, and comfortable, and…read morethe staff was friendly throughout our meal. We started with a dozen oysters. A couple of them arrived a little dry, but the staff handled it well and replaced them right away without any hassle. I always appreciate when a restaurant responds quickly to an issue rather than making it a bigger problem. We also had the Crispy Calamari Fritz and the Pan Seared Salmon. My partner really enjoyed the calamari. The salmon was especially well prepared--crispy on the outside while still moist on the inside. The farro risotto was creamy and had very good flavor, and the asparagus worked well with the rest of the dish. Our food came out fairly quickly, service was friendly, and the way they handled the oysters left a good impression. Overall, Cypress is a solid local seafood restaurant and somewhere I'd be comfortable returning to.

We'd visited the previous restaurants in this spot and neither lasted so we were interested to see the changes. The restaurant itself is styled beautifully, not what you'd expect in a suburban shopping center. We opted for the Brussels and the short rib grilled cheese. Both were great. The Brussels were sliced, the balsamic glaze was really great. The short rib came on sourdough and I had low expectations: usually short rib on sandwiches (in my experience) is either dry or soaks through the bread, this sandwich was perfect! The short rib was really tender and flavorful, the bread was toasted but still soft. Perhaps the unsung hero of the meal were the fries and the malt vinegar aioli! The fries were incredible and the accompanying aioli was perfectly tangy, we couldn't stop eating them in spite of being full. Overall we were really pleased with our meal! We will be back to try more of the menu.

We were sat pretty quickly & our waitress was great. But half way through she handed us over to the bartender, who just seemed inconvenienced that we were there. My husband had just finished a beer when she took over (which was in a can, not a tap beer), she asked if he wanted another, he said yes, and brought some draught beer that definitely wasn't what he was drinking. We are very easy going, so that wasn't even the end of the world. But she wasn't very friendly so we just went with it. The food. We ordered rockfish bites for an app, chicken pot pie, bacon wrapped shrimp & Mac & cheese. I will say, everything came out quickly. Rockfish bites: Not only were they bland & salt-less, but not all of them were cooked all the way through. The bacon-wrapped shrimp were ok, but cold in spots. The chicken pot pie: This is the reason I came. Certainly you can't mess this up, seeing how my favorite pot pie is from KFC. My standards aren't that high. I wish I could add a photo to a low review. I've never seen the inside of a pot pie that was dark gray. It didn't look appetizing at all, but it's a pot pie so I'm not basing anything on appearance. Once I took a bite I realized that it was gray because there was SO MUCH ground thyme in it. Like they dumped a whole jar in there. It wasn't even edible. The Mac & cheese was really good, I wish I had just ordered that. Before you reply that we should have said something, we already felt like we were an inconvenience to the bartender & she didn't even care enough to serve the same beer that was originally ordered. We didn't even want to deal with her. So we chalked it up as a loss. Of over $100. This place is so cute, we really loved the ambiance & wanted to love the food. We definitely won't be back, but I don't think it's going to be around much longer anyway.
