I always love trying something off their seasonal pizza menu; during my most recent visit, I loved their maple bacon pizza, which had the perfect balance of sweet and savory. They don't accept reservations, so expect it to be pretty busy, especially during the weekends. Note that they also only have a limited cold food menu during the off hour between lunch and dinner.

Second time coming here. And it was even better than the first! I had come here during the day to…read morehave some of their breakfast goods, which were yummy. So, I decided to give it a try for dinner. They don't accept reservations. I arrived around 6:30 pm on a Friday to avoid crazy wait times, but still had to wait ~40 minutes. It didn't feel very long since the waiting area has a mobile wine/beer bar outside & you're able to order drinks from the restaurant as well while you wait. I didn't come with kids, but I saw a lot of families waiting. It was a kid friendly space. The inside was quite dim & it kept getting dimmer as the night progressed. I didn't love this, but it didn't bother me as much either. Pizza was delicious, and the bread tasted very fresh. The pictures show an individual pizza size, which we were told might not be big enough to share, but we made it work amongst 3 girls. Service was fast - I assume since they're trying to free up tables quickly. I'd recommend going at a non-peak time if you don't like to wait, but definitely worth a try even if for takeout!

Don't get me wrong, the pizza is 5 stars on it's own BUT I have never even imagined that a garlic knot could be so huge, fluffy & packed full of garlicky goodness.

The crunch on the bottom is very tasty. They triple bake their pizzas for an unbelievable crunch factor. I wanted to try their spicy house made sauce but they wanted to charge almost $3 for it (and it was served in the tiniest possible cup) so I didn't get it. Also, I can tell they use seed oils on their crust. Otherwise, it would be a 5 star for me!
