A nice new addition to Open Table. A little pizza dive close to Loring Park festivities or the convention hotel scene. The one size 16 inch pizza is definatley enough to feed four, or half to take home for later! They do sell by the slice too.The 5 Meat Medley was loaded, I just wish it had more sauce. I loved the bacon crumble on it. Sometime, I would love to try their chicken . Staff are keepers.
