This was more of a fast food Italian restaurant- shocked it was in Open Table. Many items were not available that were in the menu.

The place needs a revamp. And the foods are different from the menu on the app. For those who want something quick like pizza or looking for an atmosphere to drink, this is good.

The advertising for this restaurant is not appropriate- It is a casual walk in pizza place that has not been properly renovated since the 80's. there are holes in the floor, the bathroom has graffiti in it? We walked like 7 blocks- passing much more pleasant places. Their logo- is awful, the name of the restaurant isn't clear and looks like an old arcade building. It doesn't feel clean at all-the food was actually fresh and good and the waitress was a doll, however one of the other girls were wearing a bustier without a jacket? It was very inapporpriate and uncomfortable. They shouldnt even offer a reservation- we were given paper plates too where the food in the pics looks like gormet? So strange- a place we will talk about for a long time. Hope the owners listen to this advice- you have great food and staff. You need to really clean and update things if you want to be worthy of a reservation. Blessings-

Even with RSVP, the service was TERRIBLE! Took over 30 minutes for someone to come to our table. 45 minutes to get our drinks, AFTER I had to ask. About an hour and a half to get our food, but they got our order wrong and never brought our pizza! It was a huge joke! And the price for an anti-pasta salad, $19!!!! We will never go back because of the terrible service.

Well, I booked this place for a business meeting for my boss. In a city that’s having a convention/conference. So quadruple the amount of people in the city/ downtown. Their original place cancelled them due to over booking. Last min on OpenTable trying to find a table that can accommodate 8. Pizza on 5th it is!! So they said the only thing that makes up for this place is the amount of stories they will have. 2 examples: 1. the women’s restroom door was apparently kicked in the night before (sorry no context) the waitress said to hold so she ca. stand in front of it so no one walks in. 2. They were served food on paper plates. I can not wait to hear what else happened but also, super embarrassed, for myself, my boss and the restaurant.

Our table was too small for pizza and salad for 2 people. Flimsy paper plates were a Big No No. an $80.00 bill for pizzza salad and 4 glasses of wine deserve ceramic plates.

I made a reservation for a table at 11pm. When I arrived, they told me they couldn’t seat me & the restaurant closed at 9 even though people were ordering food. They told me to get in line to order food & if a table opens, I can sit down. What the point of having available reservations on open table?

Even for downtown during Comic Con their prices were exploitative. The quality of the food and drinks was abysmal.

Hello Smith, we are sorry to hear that you did not have the optimal experience at PO5. Comic On weekends are usually very busy, and due to unforeseen circumstances, we were understaffed some of the days during that week. We are working hard on this issue.
