    a refrigerated pizza
    Olivia S.

    A time was had! Through a series of events we ended up at the MLK parade, having parked in the garage that houses Rufinos. On the way back the loo was needed but also a snack (dancing and laughing burns cals ppl!) we couldn't decide between the Mexican spot next door and Rufinos. I decided to get wings, he told me it would take I believe no longer than 6 mins! Sold! There was a steady stream of people through. Woman loved the wings! They smelled and looked amazing. I started taking to Rufino and he was telling me he does the wings from scratch. Lady was raving about the ranch and asked, and he said he does that as well. Said costs were too high and he knew how to make it better. You'll never believe he doesn't like ranch the way this stuff tastes! It's pure love in a dairy wrapped ribbon! He said he does his dough and sauce fresh, only some of the appetizers does he outsource. Based on this I ordered a slice of cheese. While woman ate he gave me a mini business crash course. SUPER knowledgeable about everything in his craft. My favorite thing is that he's a Trojan too! As it were I had my LB sweats on. He reminded me I'm a dirt bag lol. I love his attitude and ethic, super old school, hard days work mentality. Takes pride in everything he does and sells and states that's why his menus small. You can't do everything well, some things are just frozen (hello Cheesecake Factory and the Bible of a menu!). The place has some really cool artwork I meant to ask about as well. His audience is the courthouse staff that needs convenience and speed, so he's got this all worked out, and the system works well! When I was ready to eat, I enjoyed the flavor of the mild wings and the pizza was solid. Again the ranch!!! Rufinos a great guy to just sit and chat with over his yummy offerings! I learned I'm not the most desirable customer due to my location, but I would happily stop by next time I'm on this side of town. Thank you Rufino, you made our afternoon.

    The pizza was absolutely wonderful, but the service was impeccable! Rufino, himself made our pizza, and served us the food, he was super friendly, and indulged in fun conversations. Definitely will return as often as possible. Excellent experience!!! 5 star for sure!

    Seriously Delicious Pizza Perfection!! Came here with my family and ordered a pie--I've officially found my new go-to spot! The crust had the perfect crisp, and the cheese, pepperoni, and sauce were absolute perfection. Every ingredient hit just right. They add this sprinkle that I can't quite figure out, but it's a total game-changer. Plus, the owner was super nice, and the staff was genuinely friendly. Such an awesome spot!

    Stopped by after court across the street. Pretty good size restaurant, and their pizza looks delcious. My co-worker and I ordered hot wings and fries. We had the medium and hot sauce. The sauce was so good. Can't wait to visit again.

    Medium wings. Well balanced nit to hot and perfectly crispy. The owner makes all of his own sauces.

    Dinner was fantastic and the company was even better. The owner is there 6 days a week and works his tail off. He makes almost everything from scratch including his sauce. A marine vet with a hard work ethic and treats his workers like family. He has been open for less than a year and already knows his audience. Its a hard spot to keep business off of Freemont street across from a courthouse but he's got them hooked with his great service and delivers across the street no problem to supply any one from interns to the jurors who need a bite Monday to Friday. At 8pm on a Saturday it was quiet until a wedding party wanted dinner. There are common areas between several businesses so they were told a wedding party was coming in after the ceremony. The owner had less than half an hour notice to make for the hungry newlyweds and their family.

    Fantastic locally owned pizzeria I got the wind and pizza slice combo! Wings were crispy and pizza nice and crunchy. Rufino made us feel welcomed like we just stepped foot into his home very classic feel! I loved the pictures around the walls and found out Rufino took them himself.

    The pizza is awesome. The wall art is cool. The staff is super nice and they are quick. I would highly recommend this place.

    So good and cheesy. The crust is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

    Wasn't feeling pizza but ordered mild wings. The owner said his pizza was the best so I came back a few hours later and ordered a pepperoni pizza. He did not disappoint! The wings and pizza were very tasty. Went back again just for the pizza. Nice clean establishment.

    Medium pizza  with extra cheese and pepperoni.

    Maybe I'm tripping but this is the best pizza I have ever had. This has to be at least the beast pizza in Vegas.

I'm hoping…read moreit was just an off day because I've heard good things, so I'm willing to give it another chance in the future. Food: The pizza just didn't live up to my expectations. The flavor was lacking, and it didn't have the fresh, satisfying taste I was hoping for. The ingredients seemed decent, but everything felt a little underwhelming. The presentation was fine, but taste is what matters most, and that's where it fell short. Service: The staff was polite, and my order was ready in a reasonable amount of time. No complaints about the service. Price: Prices were about average for a pizza restaurant. While not overly expensive, I expected a bit more quality for what I paid. Ambiance: The restaurant had a casual, laid-back atmosphere. It was clean and comfortable, making it a pleasant place to eat. Pros: Friendly service, clean restaurant, decent atmosphere, and reasonable prices. Cons: The pizza lacked flavor, wasn't very memorable, and overall left me disappointed. Overall, this visit didn't quite meet my expectations, but everyone has an off day. Since I've heard positive things about this place, I'd be willing to come back and give it another shot before making a final judgment.

The pizzas taste elevated compared to your typical spot--better ingredients, well-balanced flavors, and a clear attention to detail in how everything is put together. The atmosphere also feels a bit more refined, making it a nice place for a casual sit-down meal that still feels a step above standard pizza joints. Service was solid and the food came out at a good pace. Pros: * High-quality, flavorful pizza * Feels a bit more upscale than typical pizza places * Good presentation and ingredients * Solid service Cons: * Slightly higher prices than standard pizza spots * Not a super casual "grab and go" vibe Overall, a great option if you want pizza that feels a little more elevated without going full fine dining. Definitely worth coming back to. Stone oven vibes.
