We didn't have a reservation, but we were seated pretty quickly upon walking in. We ordered Caesars, meatballs for the kiddo, a cheese thin crust, and a BYO thin crust with sausage/onion/pepp. We also grabbed some local brews too. There's something about their cornmeal crust I absolutely love. The pizza is light, crispy, and just a nice pie overall :) I didn't know they had lunch specials (personal deep dish or thin crust) and side mixed or Caesar until 3p. They also have a weekly happy hour from 3p-5:30p with cocktail/food/beer and wine discounts. Space is huge and super aesthetically pleasing. I believe the building was once an old bank now converted. Parking is tough around Park hehe, so leave room to nail a spot.

You can see the kitchen with the art deco mirror design in front. in addition to pizza, the restaurant serves pastas, parmagianas, salads, fun desserts. Started off with ordered sides as appetizers. GOLDEN ROASTED BEETS was delicious with the whipped ricotta topped off with arugula and pistachios. FRIED CAULIFLOWER CACCIO E PEPE: this was very unique with the crunchy bites of fried cauliflower dipping into the pecorino cream and black pepper. BROCCOLINI was cooked just right, not limp. 14" Margarita pizza with pepperoni on half. Crust was crisp GLUTEN FREE PIZZA with mushroom and pepperoni which was not bad. Dessert was a winner. You must leave room for this treat. The DECONSTRUCTED SPUMONI ICE CREAM. It came with an ice cream cone on a plate and a bowlful of soft serve ice cream, topped with roasted pistachios, tiny chocolate chips and a handful of wonderful Luxardo cherries. I have never tasted cherries so wonderful. This was a winner at the table. It was fun dining here tonight with our funny waiter, excellent service. I think the menu offered some unique food items not usually served at pizzerias. I will come back to try some of the other menu items. There is a parking lot directly next door for easy parking.

It was really busy inside and we had about maybe a 10 minute wait for a table. This place offers inside and outside sitting. The inside of the restaurant is extremely small with a few tables. Since this place was so small in the inside, it felt very loud and a little difficult to hear the person across the table from me. We ordered the meatball appetizer and garlic knots. They were both great. I would highly recommend them both. We also ordered a pepperoni pizza and added sausage. The pizza lacked in flavor and felt like it was missing something. The crust was ok, it thin and crispy. It was very light on the sauce, cheese and toppings. I do highly recommend ordering the soft serve for dessert. I got the deconstructed spumoni, it came with cherries, pistachios, chocolate chips, with vanilla ice cream. The soft serve is worth going back for by itself. The beverages are limited. For soda, they only offer Alameda Soda. Limited options of beers, and I think some wines. As for parking, there is street parking or a small parking lot on the side both have meters. Overall, I was impressed with the appetizers and dessert, but to me the pizza needs improvement. I will give this place another try, and maybe try a different pizza. I will also like to try their pastas next time.

I ordered a Mushroom & Sausage Medium pizza, added pepperoni and more mozzarella, and the price was still under $20! Of course the price adds up as you pile on the toppings. First, this is a virtual brand and not a ghost kitchen. This is simply a real business selling pizzas over delivery apps. For some reason, they're using this crazy name. I ordered a medium "Mushroom & Sausage" Pizza. Then I added Pepperoni and more Mozzarella Cheese. Price $18.95. That's a medium pizza with 4 toppings. It was hellya good! It had my basic requirement for a good pizza....a thick blanket of cheese. Crust was soft, but lightly crispy. Even with pepperoni and sausage, it was not overly salty. It was just a good pizza, at a fair price.

The chef checked on us several times and even joined in singing "Happy Birthday", the entire team seemed genuinely invested in our having a wonderful experience. The menu is ambitious and the food was very good, with flashes of something truly special. The octopus with fennel and potato was phenomenal and completely distinctive. We also enjoyed the calamari, swordfish carpaccio, burrata, salmon, ravioli, short ribs, bolognese pasta, tiramisu, and gelato. A few dishes felt just a final touch away from greatness: the oxtail ravioli, for example, had all the makings of a standout, but the pasta and sauce could have felt a little fresher and more alive. You sense real talent in the kitchen and with just five percent more refinement, this could become exceptional Italian cooking. For now, the remarkably warm service makes it an easy five-star experience.

No flop, just the right amount of thinness, and an amazing crust!!! We ordered two whole pizzas: mushroom and a custom pizza with sausage (+$6), pepperoni (+$6), basil (+3), and hot honey (not sure of this add-on price). I believe all their custom pizzas start with a mozzarella and parm base, but you should double check if you're planning on ordering one. They were both delicious! I'm used to mushroom pizzas being more savory, but the lemon cream they use was definitely a bit sweet. It was still good and different from other mushroom pizzas I've had. Whole pizzas take around 20 minutes but if you sit at the restaurant, they will bring it to you on a pizza stand. They have complimentary hot honey oil drizzle available in the seating area too! Plenty of seating upstairs if the downstairs is full. 10/10 -- will definitely come back if I'm in a pizza mood!
