The pizza was truly outstanding—perfectly crispy crust, generous toppings, and a flavorful sauce that made every bite a delight. I also tried the pork chop, and it was cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and seasoned just right. It paired beautifully with the sides, creating a well-rounded meal that left me wanting more. The counter seating added a cozy touch to the atmosphere, allowing for an intimate dining experience while watching the chefs at work. The service was top-notch; our server was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. One of the highlights was the owner checking in on us personally. It’s always nice to see that level of care and commitment to customer satisfaction. Overall, if you're looking for delicious pizza, an unforgettable pork chop, and a welcoming atmosphere, [Restaurant Name] is a must-visit! I look foward to my return.

Their food is incredible and their service is spectacular. David, at the Bar, is so friendly and knowledgeable about his trade. Highly recommended!! Must try the arancini, steak tar tar, market salad, Brussels sprouts salad and the chicken is unbelievable. Their pizzas are the best in town!!
