Ended a tasty dinner with a fresh cannoli. I was drinking unsweetened Ice T w/lemon also not shown. Glad I stopped in. Clean restaurant, nice people & good food and dessert.

Great service and perhaps better than we would have gotten in regular seating. Had the Caprese salad and the Veggie Patch pizza. Both were great but next time we think we'll get a pizza with pepperoni or sausage. Other than the (too) large garlic chunks the veggie was missing just a little something. I wouldn't say it was bland but it just needed something more.

Update: Wow. I think this place has changed ownership. This…read moreused to be the gem of Belmont. Now it's the embarrassment of it. The food was inexcusable. The dough wasn't just "a little undercooked" -- it was raw. Gummy, sticky, and doughy in the center like it had barely seen the oven. This isn't a minor slip. This is basic quality control completely missing. Calling to place the order was the first red flag. The person who answered had music blasting so loudly I could hardly understand him. I had to repeat myself several times. When I told him I was at a well-known location two doors down, he had no idea where that was and asked for the full address -- which is concerning for someone handling local deliveries. Then, without warning, he said delivery would be an hour and a half... and immediately hung up before I could respond or cancel. No confirmation. No professionalism. Just click. This place used to be dependable, friendly, and worth recommending (enthusiastically!) Now it feels chaotic, careless, and completely indifferent to the customer experience. Belmont deserves far better than this level of decline.

After reading the reviews, I decided to try Papa Sammy's first and I'll probably just stick with them. I've had them twice and have only gotten pizza so far and both have been outstanding. I like to order it early in the day and have it uncut so I can throw on additional toppings later in the evening and reheat in the oven when I'm ready to chow down. This place has nice, crust with good crisp, awesome cheese and a nice tangy sauce with a little zip. I don't know if they have gluten free options or not, I don't see it anywhere on their website but according to Google AI, they do. They have a pretty solid menu and I hope to try some other things in the coming weeks and months.

It's fresh, it's hot and it's delicious - Easy parking - Clean storefront Cons: - Nothing to do with this location, but I NEED Hungry Howie's to offer a white sauce base in the future.

I add hot sauce for an extra kick. The veggie pizza was ok - maybe a little on the blander side but not bad. It was piping hot and loaded with toppings though. For a group of 5, we squeezed into one of the longer tables but it still felt a bit cramped.
