I received a menu / flyer in the mail for this spot and before that had no idea it even existed. The back of flyer had a very detailed, extensive menu. And I'm a sucker for good descriptions on menus, so I bookmarked them to try.
Exterior
Exterior could definitely use some work. Parking lot is RIDDLED with HUGE potholes. Neighboring tenants have spray painted signs instead of real signs, etc. But I wasn't worried, some of the best food comes from places that don't look like much on the inside.
Interior
Interior actually looks pretty good (see photos). Take-away only. No dining room. Bare bones, but clean. Limited seating inside for people waiting and those chairs outside along the sidewalk aren't practical. No protection from heat / cold / rain and that parking lot is a dust bowl.
Customer Service
I was going to call my order in, but the menu I raved about doesn't actually tell you what the individual pizza topping options are and I didn't want to call to ask an associate to rattle them off for me - so I was going to place my order and wait while it was being prepared.
When I walked in, there was one young lady taking a phone order. Two young men and another young lady were also right up front. The two young men seemed to trying to figure out a delivery issue. All 4 people looked up at me - and did not acknowledge me or greet me in anyway. So that was a little annoying. A simple 'hey there, welcome, I'll be right with you,' would have been awesome. Instead they young lady and one of the young men went to the back and the other young man left to make his delivery. And the other young lady continued with her call while I stood there waiting.
Eventually, the young man (I asked before leaving and discovered he's the asst manager, Lawrence) came from the back to ask if I was picking up or placing an order. I explained that I wanted to place an order. He answered my menu questions and put my order in. He was pretty friendly during our exchange so I guess the team just needs some polishing on how to greet customers upon arrival.
Food
I ordered a small thin crust with spinach and chicken. There was very little chicken. Very little cheese. And WAY too much sauce. The crust was good but it's never a good thing when the best thing about a pizza is the crust.
My Island Chicken BLT looked very good except 1) it's a BLT, yet it doesn't come with tomatoes. When I asked, Lawrence said the 'T' does in fact stand for tomatoes, but the prep sign doesn't say to add them, so he never does unless the customer asks. Um ... ok ... He added them and there was no upcharge so I appreciated that 2) There was very little chicken or bacon on the sandwich. Tons of great looking romaine lettuce. I felt like I was eating lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and pineapples.
And the way the sandwich was constructed with the cheese melted on to both sides of the bread made it nearly impossible to add any sort of dressing or condiments to it without making a huge mess.
Price / Value
I thought my food was a little pricey base on the skimpy amounts of protein on both - but everything is so expensive now, it's just kinda hard to gauge.
Overall
Overall, I think they're worth a try. Wish them the best. read more
