    The food and service was fine but the noise was excessive. We could not even talk to one another because it was way too loud.

    First time at this chain and we are not deep dish pizza fans, but the thin crust pizza was very good and service was great and sat in the outside area on a beautiful night. Overall very good experience.

    We were asked to preorder because we had a party of 6. We did. I felt rushed. Pizza wasn’t hot nor did it taste good. The service was terrible. Overrated and over priced. I had to eat something later as I was starving.
