The prices were a little high especially considering there are three other places for pizza in 15 minutes' driving time, one of which has the same quality, the two other better. On my pizza, and I know it could have been different for others, the dough was raw on the top half. **see photo What really irked me, and I hear it's changed now, was that you ordered at the counter and left a tip at that time. Before you even had service. Who was I tipping and for what exactly? I heard it's changed but this is a review on my experience. The service was nice, the atmosphere was alright, pretty much what it used be, with a fresh coat of paint, to when it was the former business. I find the interior a little cramped with the furniture they have. Just my .02¢ We will go back for a second chance.

I gave this a 3 because this was our first visit, and I can't make a determination based on one…read morevisit. This restaurant is where the former "Chinese Mexican Burrito" was, and they've done a great job of remodeling and updating the space. We went for dinner and ordered 2 10 inch pizzas, both with 1 topping, and 2 fountain drinks. With tax and tip, $30. A little steep when compared to other pizza in the area, but not outrageous. First, the good: the sauce is nice, not too sweet and not too thin. There was plenty of sausage on my pizza. The not-great: I suspect the crusts are pre-made. While the thin was really thin, it was still soft in the center. The cheese isn't gooey, but more gloppy. The "hot" sausage is just Italian sausage; not spicy Italian, just Italian. The questionable: the menu says the toasted ravioli is filled with nacho cheese. As a native St. Louisan, that is unforgivable. The salad bar is offered at $2.99 for a one-trip with a meal, or $4.99 unlimited. The "bar" consists of very basic iceberg mix, some cheese, and an assortment of dressings. If the selection is that limited, it should be really fresh and inviting. It was not. All in all, I'll give them more time to get settled, and try again. We love supporting local businesses, and hope this place is successful.

The service was easy to use online with a 20% off coupon offered for the 2nd order online!

Thanks for the easy ordering process and great food! Might K add that the delivery driver was lit together and. Or sloppy or skinny.

If you don't smoke avoid this place at all costs. I am a smoker and even I was super bummed by the atmosphere as smoking is allowed in this place. It was just depressing. It seemed like half the town was here and they were all frantically lighting up. Nothing like trying to eat in the middle of a thick forest fire. Bottom line, I think for food you can most definitely do better. For ambience think the bar from Cheers, but with dim the lights and Smokey the Bear passed out in the corner slowly dying of cancer with a bottle of Scotch in front of him and a Newport hanging out of his mouth.

This visit, the…read morefood was back to being good - BUT, this place is pricing their stuff to the moon for what you get. A large meat pizza: $43.25. And let me tell you, the pizza is only a 14"....not that deep. I don't mind paying...but this is so out of line compared to what you get. Even a straight pepperoni or sausage pizza..you're paying plenty for what you get. Good taste...but dang have they continued to raise the prices. Salad for 2: $20.75 and the salad is smaller than it ever used to be. Toppings aren't as plentiful as they used to be. And the dressing...the salad didn't have squat. And I paid 2.50 more to get a couple of sides of more dressing....and they're coming in the small plastic ramekin. Gee, give me a break with the nickel and dime junk...when you're already charging $21 for the salad. I have always loved this place. And I can pay whatever....but out of principle...I won't for this place anymore. Sad...as I'm from Chicago and love what this place offered in the past. But now...I suggest Pizza by the Chef in Hollister. Want a meat pizza...Hercules at that place is awesome.

Even though I said never again, I gave them another opportunity because I really like supporting local businesses when I'm in the area. The pizzas were good, hot, and tasty. One pizza was a veggie with Canadian bacon added and the other was all different types of meat. Both were very good. The crust was the regular and very good but next time I might try the thin crust for comparison. The dining area was clean even though the place was packed with families since it was holiday vacation time. Service was good. The young woman on the cash register was a little flustered, but the phone was ringing and people were waiting to order, pick-up, and pay. So that was understandable that she had her hands full. As busy as it was, she was still smiling! You won me back Hook & Ladder! See you next trip!
