Great experience! Food was delicious, staff was friendly and quick and it's a casual atmosphere which is perfect for us. Also, plenty of parking.
We have only been to the location twice since it opened, however each time we were 100% happy with the experience.
The first visit was the first Sunday-Take Out Only weekend. I tried to call in for an hour and kept getting a busy signal, given we were on the road and about to drive by we stopped and and despite them being absolutely slammed with orders and the phone off the hook, we were greeted with friendly welcoming smiles and Dale was so kind and chuckled when I showed him my call log with the many attempts at trying to place a phone order. We were able to place our order in person and it was ready in under an hour. The Sunday Special- bolognese pizza was so delicious! The crust was perfectly cooked, on the thinner side, with a bit of a crisp to it and a pleasant chew. It's my favorite type of crust, it's so addictive and easy to eat. The toppings/sauce perfectly placed, not too much and not too little. It was just right for this type of crust. We ordered a mango lemon tart which was the perfect ending to this pizza meal. Bright fresh fruit flavors and a delicious pastry crust.
The second visit, we were able to successfully call in our order and Dale took our order and remembered me from our last visit :) I ordered a pepperoni and bell pepper pizza. It was so simple and perfect! Exactly what we had hoped for. Once again, the pizza crust was expertly baked. So good!!!! This time, we were able to get a piece of the lemon blueberry cake for dessert. It was huge! It was 3 layers and lemony and blueberry heaven! That frosting! That cake! Wow so good! I have had wedding cakes that were this delicious. I hope they have it again in the future.
This is definitely one of our top 5 favorite pizza places in Maine now. I'm so glad they are within driving distance! Thank you to the Rise Team for bringing great pizza and service to Cumberland! Please don't ever leave! :) read more
