Looking back, we didn't need a reservation (in late December). It's a neighborhood pizza spot and there were plenty of open tables. The pizza was fine. The meatball was great. The staffers were very friendly.

It was such a lovely experience. Not the first time but this time I’m definitely gonna leave a great review because the food is absolutely delicious. But one makes it. The best experience is when you have someone serving you who is so delightful and so knowledgable and makes your evening even more special.
