What we ordered: Prosciutto Di Parma Arugula Pizza (+ burrata) = 100000/10 FOOD: 9/10 Served hot, fresh, and made to order, this pizza truly hit the spot. The crust had those delicious wood-fired charred bits and was the perfect thickness, not too thin, not too thick. The burrata (worth the extra charge!) was rich and creamy, while the arugula added the perfect fresh, crunchy bite. Every ingredient worked so well together. I'm literally salivating as I type this! Paired with some good wine? Chef's kiss! SERVICE: 9/10 Every staff member we interacted with struck the perfect balance of being friendly and laid-back. We sat at the bar, where the bartender also served as our waiter. He was personable, kept up a great conversation, and was attentive without ever making us feel rushed, all while mixing drinks and taking care of other guests. AMBIANCE: 9/10 Spacious, clean, and incredibly inviting. I loved the relaxed atmosphere and all the train station-inspired decor throughout the restaurant. The large windows let in so much natural light that it's an even better place to sit back and enjoy a meal. I'd happily come back the next time I'm in the area.

I came here with a large group on a Saturday evening, and we were seated outside. This was the only…read morerestaurant in the area we could find that didn't have a long wait for a party of 8. They are located right next to a train station. As in, the train is a few feet away from the dining area. Whenever the train stopped, it was so loud and screechy. This happened at least four times while we were having dinner. What I'm baffled by is that they have windows that can be closed, but they didn't close them. We shared four pizzas amongst five people, and it was the perfect amount of food. We got the BBQ chicken, Calabrese + honey, funghi, and Margherita pizzas. The BBQ chicken was my personal favourite, while others liked the Calabrese + honey. I thought that one just tasted like a plain pizza with tomato sauce and honey. I really liked the funghi as well as the cheese was rich. The Margherita was normal. A lot of these pizzas had bitter-tasting leaves instead of something less sharp like spinach. Each pizza was around $20-25. Service was fine.

Well deserved Bib Gourmand status! It was a beautiful day, with sunlight filtering though the tree…read moreleaves as I was sat outside for my dinner. I ordered the house made focaccia and margherita pizza. Yes, I love carbs. The foccacia is delicious. The bread goes through a 72 hour dough maturation so it develops these really complex, mouthwatering, savory flavors even though it's made with simple ingredients: yeast, flour (Primitiva), salt, and brushed olive oil. That's it! The crumb is fine and as light as the puffy clouds in the sky. If you wanted to, you could probably ball up a piece of bread the size of my hand into the size of a ping pong ball, but why would you? Enjoy the bread as it is presented. The edges of the bread are charred a little, adding extra texture and flavor. I'm actually kind of confused how to eat the bread as it's cut into large hunks, but there's no butter or dipping oils, so I ended up gnawing into the bread like a rat. The margherita pizza came out pre cut, but the paper-thin crust in the middle of the pie was somehow still substantial enough to not get soggy that quickly. The huge leaves of basil were very fragrant, and the tomato sauce was bright, balanced, and captured the best essence of tomato. It played well with the cheese. The crust was made of a different dough, chewy, pliable, savory, and spotted beautifully. Service was wonderful. The waiter boxed up my leftover pizza (and even asked if I wanted to box up the slice of pizza crust I couldn't finish-yes of course!). Very thoughtful. It's a shame I was too full to order dessert.

Went for a dinner date before a movie and found the restaurant particularly well suited for sharing…read moreseveral dishes over a bottle/glass of wine. For starters, we shared the meat & cheese board which our waitress recommended the off menu combo plate (2 meats & 2 cheeses for ~$40). Solid and straightforward rather than elaborate. The breads and especially the lard were the more interesting part. For entrees, we shared the diavola pizza: Good flavor with the crust being the standout. Worth mentioning that it's a softer, fork-and-knife style pizza rather than a crispy slice. Paired with the pizza was the Red wine mezzi rigatoni. Probably the most interesting savory dish. The pork sausage ragù and crispy sage made it different from a standard rigatoni. Pasta + Pizza was a great shareable combo. Lastly to round off the meal, desserts. The Chocolate trifle was the disappointment. The amount of foam overwhelmed everything else and made it underwhelming. The bomboloni were much better, particularly with the peaches. Tobias Take: Great option for people who want wine, charcuterie/cheese and several dishes for the table to share. Their meat/cheese selection and wine list are major strengths. This place shines when you order several things for the table rather than everyone ordering an individual entrée.

Rosa is basically pepperoni pizza sprinkled with basil. You paid $2 extra for the basil. Stick with pepperoni next time. Hot Honey is basically. Pepperoni and sausage Pizza drizzled with honey. Not sure if the "hot" in the hot honey refer to spice or temperature. But, boy, the combo work. Would love to hear how this came together. The sweetness of the honey just elevated the salty pepperoni and sausage! Excellent. Caprese Salad. This was good also. Just expensive for 5 slices of mozzarella. $12.

We've also ordered their large pizzas to go in the past, and those have been just as satisfying. We used one of their stamp cards for a free drink, and the guy at the counter kindly let me choose between a fountain drink or a bottled one (I went with the bottle--just tastes better!). My nephew has a special connection to this place--his kindergarten class once came here to make their own pizzas, and he still talks about it. It's really great to see that kind of community involvement. He absolutely loves the pizza here, and it's easy to see why. We also found ourselves curious about the surfboard--would love to know the story behind it!

It's a bit unassuming from the outside but totally fine to dine in. The person that helped us at the counter was nice! A slice was like $7.00 or so but they were HUGE. I had to use a fork and knife (which was kind of useless because the plastic ones they give you are a bit too weak for these large pizzas). I saved some for later and it reheated nicely. Mine was the Greek salad pizza since it was the only one that was obviously white pizza. I liked it! It tasted fresh and I liked the flavor. The dough was quite chewy at parts and there was a nice crunch to the crust. I did think there was too much crust at times (as in the sauce should have extended further out) but it was still edible. I would come back!

I'm so happy we got one slice to split bc it was huge!!! And so so delish. The crust was crisp and perfect and the cheese was a perfect amount. I will definitely be back and order a slice to myself since I can't stop thinking about it!!! Service was fast, he brought the pizza out to us while we were sitting.

The server was kind and gave me his recommendation of which pie he would get. I think it was something that I wouldn't really like so I ended up getting something else. I felt bad after I went out of my way to ask but I appreciated his choice. I decided on getting the small pepperoni pie. The wait time was between 15 and 25 minutes so I decided to go for a quick drive and come back. There are seats if you want to dine in but I decided to eat it fresh at home since I'm not too far. The pizza was delicious. It didn't have a crazy cheese pull but the was good balance between the sauce and cheese. There was no excess oil when folding the pizza and the cheese didn't slide off so bonus points there. My biggest issue is price. $18 for a small pizza is kind of ridiculous. It's about the size of a Pizza Hut individual pie so that was a bit surprising for me. At the same time though, I guess you have to consider the area. I'll have to see if you get more value when you size up your pizza next time. If so, I would probably lean towards that route. Good pizza overall.
