limited outside seating - booked for it but it was already occupied. Some patrons do not seem to understand there is no need to have a conversation in very loud voices. Service was helpful. Food sizes good - excellent pizzas.

Amazing food and service though they should probably change the bread provider. It was chewy, as if it was 1 day old bread
