    This place changed our pizza experience. I fear that no other pizza place will compare to it. We got the champion cheese and honestly best cheese pizza ever (probably why it won 1st place). I usually would eat the pizza crust but this one was flaky and amazing. The flaky salt on the crust was a great touch compared to other crust toppings out there. Definitely will come back to try the other pizzas on the menu.

    Absolutely perfect! Besides these things pull apart bread being out! We love it, but everything is so good we don’t mind trying new things on the menu.

    Spent a lovely afternoon with my partner at Truly pizza and had a blast. I loved the food, the complementary wine, and the salad. This is such a fun place to have delicious food. The ambiance is great and the outside heaters are a wonderful touch.

    The square pizza dough was very dense and heavy. We originally loved Truly for its light, airy crust. Perhaps the crust was changed but now it’s not as unique and wonderful as before. There were tons of people there so I’m sure they are happy.

    First time here and everything was 10/10 for us. From food to service. All staff very friendly but one in particular went above in beyond for us. His name is Vicente. I definitely recommend this place and coming back..
