I love LOVE this place everytime. I’ve been going here ever since I was a little girl. I’m 22 now and I’m still going here. Prices are soo good for the food that you get. Food is always fresh and so tasty. (I split the fries with my boyfriend) I recommend the calzones or the gyro on a pita. (edit we came back to try the large calzones and omg best calzones ever in my life) Thank y’all.

I love the pizza, but salads are a big disappointment. Ordered a greek salad, but what I got was a poor antipasto salad with no salami, ham ,nor provolone. No cucumber, no feta (big chunks of mozzarella when I expected feta), huge pieces of tomato and green pepper when they should have been bite size, and it included big carrots! Carrots should not be in greek nor antipasto salads! Very disappointed in the watery salafs.

Food was terrible I got pasta and sent it back the sauce was watery and disgusting I got a gyro to replace that and it was worse avoid if you know good Italian or good food in general

Wonderful friendly staff. The food is the star here. The costs and overhead are kept low and the savings are passed to the customer. So if you're looking for a no-frills atmosphere with great tasting food and large portions, you've found it here.

Wow!!! We are visiting from Florida and we're trying to kill time till our Air B&B check in. As first timers the staff quickly picked up we weren't local and helped us out. The food was FABULOUS. I could have done just the salad and bread with house dressing. Puts olive garden to shame. They serve a warm marinara to dip bread sticks. What even takes it up another notch is the eclectic decor which I was in such awe with forgot to take pictures. But if you read all that your now gonna hear the best part. Less expensive than McDonald's. Great Staff, awesome food, really cool decor, GREAT PRICES. My only question? How the heck do you pull it off? Only thing I could figure is great patrons. A couple welcomed us to town we didn't even know. LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!
