    We usually take out from the Northbrook location but decided to eat in. Pizza was good but not as good as from the Northbrook location. Service was good but not great and the noise level was high.

    We went New Year's Eve at 6:00 pm. We had reservations. Our server Dawn was great and very attentive, so we give her 5 stars. However, we waited over an hour for our pizzas. Apparently the carry out orders were more important than we were in the restaurant buying driinks, etc.
