★★★★★ 5.0 Ryan Clark · Dec 2025

Good pizza, friendly staff, and a neat oven. Gas oven, rotating deck. Nice touches with the tile backsplash and the books for family.

★★★★★ 5.0 Big Dan · Nov 2025

Every time we come up to visit we have to stop in and get some pizza and enjoy the ambiance and books! Everything is made fresh with quality ingredients, the sauces are home made, and the staff while young is always friendly and attentive, they’re doing it right here and it is always a great experience 👍🏼

Best pizza you'll ever eat, with the friendliest staff. A very unique, light & pleasant atmosphere with a book collection & dessert to top it all off... almost a pizza boutique of sorts. One of a kind, can't beat it - God bless †

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Brad W · Dec 2025

When we try a new pizza joint, we always order a plain cheese pizza on a "regular" crust. The crust was akin to sun-dried leather: hard to bite or chew. When I was able to knaw a piece free, it had so much cheese I question how many days it will sit in my bowels. We did not order "death cheese" nor did we order thin and bulletproof. There is no printed menu, and though the staff seems quite woke but barely awake. AND IT IS PRICEY. The tea was good.

Had seen a Facebook post about this unusual pizza, book and ice cream place and it was spot on! So cute and unique, pizza was good and so was the ice cream. It's a must see
