Of course, I invited my friend because who wants to eat pizza alone?! So our waitress was very nice and personable. We started with the spinach artichoke dip as our appetizer.! The spinach artichoke dip came out and it was delicious. It had a hint of red pepper, which gave it a spicy flavor! The bread was similar to a flatbread or pita bread. Super lite and fresh baked! We really enjoyed the appetizer. We also tried the Rotolo's Rossini and it was sooooo good! It's semi-sweet and chilled to perfection with a great price point of $6! You meant as well order two because we sure did! For the free birthday pizza you could order up to 3 toppings, but we got the standard pepperoni! The pizza was good, not great, but I know they have a lot of speciality pizzas that are great! Even after all that bread, we still found room for desert! We ordered the cinnabites with vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzle! One word...AMAZING! The overall experience and service was great! Looking forward to coming here again!

My wife and I have been passing this place for months and finally got the chance to stop by. I'm…read moreoriginally from Chicago and she's originally from New York so we have the Pizza debate all the time. She has friends who eat there a lot and keep saying how amazing it is. First Impressions: This place is NICE. When I got the chance to look around it is the perfect first date spot for *anybody*. The menu is diverse for a Pizzeria. They even have a chef selected Salumi Board. In the end we split a Sensation salad(which is the best I've had), Calamari Fritti, Carnosa and Mushroom Medley. The Good: Our server was Andrea. She was outstanding. She did her best to take care of us and in the end she went above and beyond with her service. The Calamari was ok but seemed to be more breaded than actual Protein. The first thing that came to mind when I tried the Marinara was "Fresh". It tasted like it was obviously done that morning. The Not So Good: When Andrea took our order she made it a point to tell us that she would space out our order. That didn't happen. And she told us the kitchen didn't follow her orders. Everything came seconds from each other. I understand a sense of urgency because the parking lot is always full and they want to push the crowds in a way where the next wave can have a place to park...But the restaurant wasn't even full. The Parking lot was but there were plenty of tables available. In the end we felt Serve and Burned. The Pizza: The char on the doh was great. I love a good fired oven pizza. But the pizza itself didn't seem like it was cooked all the way through. When I picked up a slice it just flopped down. My wife's pizza was dry. She ended up asking if they had any kind of garlic butter. And Andrea understood the assignment. She came back with the Shrimp Scampi sauce it ended up making it seem to be the one thing the Mushroom Medley needed all along. (I 100% Recommend it.) My pizza was ok, but only when the 3 slices I took a bite of had all of the toppings on them. Less than half of the pizza had Pepperoni on it. I did not get the impression that this was something that happens all the time so we will be back. I would still recommend this place to everybody.

The space is open, mostly on the outdoor patio with some seating inside. There's a playground in the back if you have your kids and they want to get their energy out. That's nice for families and for those of not wanting to dodge the little ones. You order at the counter and drinks at the bar. We all ordered in waves. Everything came out a lot more quickly than I expected it to. They let you order half and half pizzas at no extra charge. You choose between the small and large. The small is enough for two, easily. I ordered the Fast Eddie / Danny the Creator half and half. Both were pretty great. The crust is thin but doesn't flop over, and there isn't a lot of grease to have to clean up. Other orders at the table included the Mid City (a hit), the Coon Ass (with huge cracklins on top), and the HBIC, among others. No complaints at our table, a rarity that there is not at least one. They have a full bar with lots of different liquor, some draft beer, and several bottle/can beer selections. We asked about gluten free selections, and they said they usually do have some GF crust available, but they had run out. I was not surprised by this as there was a home game the day before, so I assumed perhaps they would have sold it all. (hard to estimate how much you'll need). Every staff member encountered was super friendly and welcoming, and they made sure we were taken care of. I'm very pleased with the experience and will come back again for sure.

I was being healthy and ordered the cauliflower crust make your own pizza. I was skeptical at first because cauliflower crust taste can vary on how it is made. This one was perfect! It was crunchy, and it didn't taste much different than a normal crust, to me. As for toppings, I got the pesto sauce with tons of cheeses, meat and some olives. It took them just a second to make and then they put it in the oven... which took about 4 minutes. After it comes out, you can top it with anything on the topping bar. So, I topped mine with pesto and parm cheese. Staff was polite and fast. The restaurant was clean. This is a great location, right on Burbank near campus.
