After several tried to explain, I finally said thank you but no thank you. I'll go elsewhere. There was an older voice in the background who could have answered. But allowed the young man to keep trying to get the order correct. I again said thank you but no thank you. I'm going elsewhere. After terminating the call within two minutes this pizza shop called me back and the older guy who was in the background started to talk very indignant towards me. I told him why I was going elsewhere and he said you never call here again. That they were professionals and You are not welcome here. Didn't know what that has to do with pizza or not order but? That's fine. I can't say bad or good things about the food they serve because I've never tried it. However, if the owner gets upset and indignant towards potential customers one must wonder how professional they really are. To call back a potential customer and speak the way he did. Well, you decide if you want to do business with them. Perhaps that is why I rarely see any one doing food business with them. Just saying.

Tucked away in the Ephrata Cloister is a small pizzeria called Maria's. If you've never stopped…read morein, you need to. New York style pizza made the way you'd remember as a kid. Big, floppy slices of pizza made with a sweet sauce that just hits home for me. The pepperoni slices tasted (to me at least) almost sweet, which paired with the sauce really well. If you find yourself in Ephrata, PA's Cloister Shopping Center, check out Maria's. You won't be disappointed.

She was a legend and did her best and worked her a** off. So in a sense service was a little slow but understandable. The food was very good (though they were out of wings), and drinks were fresh and cold (though they were out of Captain Morgan rum). All in all nice out of the way place for the locals, the campers in the nearby campground, or two married people having an affair hooking up.

The food came out in a reasonable manner but our server couldn't have been any slower. 10-15 minutes before she came to take our order. Forgot to bring a drink, then spilled the drink. When we were done eating we sat there for a good 15-20 minutes until we grabbed another waitress to get our bill and to go while our server stood chatting with other guests the majority of the time we were there. Really a shame because the food was good. Plenty of allergy friendly options. Burger was cooked well and flavorful. Bacon could have been a little more crisp but not bad. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well but the service really brought it down
