On 12/19/2025 Mary Elliott had this to say:
OMG do not wait to try their pizza. The Artisan crust is THE BEST!! I’m usually a thin crust person, but when we learned this dough is straight from Italy we had to give it a try. It was the thinnest, light and crispy pizza crust we’ve ever had. If the rest of their future menu plans are even half as good as their pizza, we’ve got a winner here on the southside!!
