“ Lady at the counter was super nice and helpful. Food was super yummy and that Italian Assorted was fantastic. Bread was warm and has a little spice, but with a lot of flavor. Plus you can buy their pasta and sauce to have for other meals. Highly recommend. ”
“ Great Detroit style deep dish pizza. 10 lunch deal for a generous slice, fresh cookie, and fiz pop. The sloppy Joe pizza was very good! Cookies were better than Subway. A must visit in the area! ”
“ This place is amazing! Happened to be in the area and wanted lunch. Pizza sounded delicious . Checked out some reviews and decided it was worth swinging in for a slice. Boy am I glad I did! The staff was super friendly and very helpful. I chose what I wanted but apparently the universe had different ideas for what I truly needed... I wanted a slice of supreme, but turns out it wasn't in the oven yet They did however have a big mac pizza in the oven and highly recommended a slice of it. OMG, I cant stress enough how delicious this pizza is!!! I will definitely be back for more. ”
“ Staff is amaze and friendly. The pizza (Detroit style) is spectacular! Perfect crust, perfectly cooked - crispy chewy, and surprising “light”. We will be back! ”
“ Very good quality pizza and pasta for a good price. Their pizza is unique, which is nice, because most pizza places in the area are pretty similar, with only minor variation. The bread/crust has a loftier and airy rise without being too dense. Similar to a Detroit style pizza, but not as thick. It doesn't feel like a rock in your stomach. I would compare it to Nino's on Culver Rd, which also has a really good unique pizza. The gnocchi with a creamy mushroom sauce is especially good and everyone loved it. ”
“ This is a nice little place with really nice employees. I’ll be honest I’m a thin crust pizza fan but I do enjoy a nice airy square slice when it’s done right. You want the bottoms to be crispy and the rest to be like your biting through cotton candy. This is a good square slice. The dough has a good flavor and the bottom is crispy. I just had a pepperoni slice but today they had a special slice that had bbq beef on it that looked great. But I always know if I try the special slice that no matter how good it is I’ll wish I got the regular slice. Especially when it’s the first time there so I didn’t succumb to my own pressure. I’m glad I did but I almost went back for that other slice! I’ll be returning to get a whole pizza because they have a regular menu pizza with banana peppers and pepperoni which I would enjoy. They have pasta and chicken parm and some other things which I may try as well. I do like a good chicken parm. I will update if I return to try it. 2nd stop in: We tried the meat lovers and roasted mushroom pizza. Both very good. The roasted mushroom must be a favorite here because everyone after us ordered it and they had to throw another in the oven when we were there. ”
“ One of Rochester's greatest hidden gems. They have world class Detroit style pizza (get the truffle oil; trust me) and the best eggplant parm sandwich in the world. I tell everybody about this place. Ever since they opened, they've been on point. Even after changing hands, the new owner kept everything perfectly consistent: That's not easy! ”
“ I had a sloppy joe's slice and my wife had a classic cheese slice. It was our first time there and we will definitely be going back. The staff was very nice and polite. ”
