That is Neapolitan pizza at it's best!
Fantastic wood fire pizza The sauce the crust the mozzarella the basil the olive oil. Add to that the beer the the bar and the friendly staff. You really can't get any better! Pizza making Cvill happy!
Visiting from out of town and saw the great reviews. We came one evening at 7:45 and there was a 45 minute wait so we returned the next evening 20 minutes before they opened (didn't realize) and waited until opening at 5 pm. A line formed behind us! Food was delicious... Authentic brick oven pizza...prices were fair... Just a tiny little quaint place.
Look, the food at this place was INCREDIBLE. My pizza was HOT and DELICIOUS. We did have issues with service, though. A bit slow, but everyone that we spoke to was polite. The only reason why I'm giving 4 stars is because it took 4.5 hours to get a party of 8 in and out the door. Otherwise, fantastic.
My fiance and I have been a couple times now. Once over the winter and once in late spring. Both times we had a wonderful experience. In the winter, the small space warmed by the heat of the larger central wood fired oven was a cozy experience. They have an excellent selection of Italian wines at a reasonable price point. The food is definitely inspired by authentic Italian cuisine, with creative flare. The pizzas utilize quality toppings and cheeses. One pizza is the perfect size for one person.
I recommend arriving early to get a parking spot and seat, as you cannot make a reservation. However do not fret. When the weather is nicer, non-tabled seating is available outside where you can sip a cocktail or glass of wine until your table is ready. I highly recommend this if you like Italian wine and good pizza. Great for dates.
Delicious pizza, appetizers and desserts. Good comes out when it's ready so it's hot and fresh. Super small dining area and bar. I believe they now have some outdoor seating as well. Recommended to get there early as they fill up fast. Worth the wait if they are busy
