The large menu features a variety of gourmet brick oven pizzas, soups, salads, sandwiches, and entrees. Some of the pasta and desserts are homemade.
The interior has two dining areas, with the entrance leading to the takeout pizzeria counter and seating with tables and booths.
The main dining room is off to the right, with a more upscale ambiance and decor of the two dining areas. It is attractively decorated with a large chandelier, dark hardwood flooring, and soft earth-tone walls with dark wood trimming. Ask to be seated in the main dining room for a quieter, more cozy dining experience.
