I just recently discovered this place even though I passed my many times. I got the calzone, wings, and the personal pizza everything was great especially the calzone and the wings pizza wasn’t anything amazing but it isn’t bad for a quick lunch for work. Overall I think it’s a great place that has many different things to choose from, ALSO the calzone is extremely huge. EDIT: I have now tried the three cheese pizza, margarita, and supreme and they were all delicious I really liked the margarita (it’s the one in the picture) the cheese sticks fresh were piping hot but super good too and you get that satisfying stretch from the cheese. The owner is very nice and friendly and will treat his customers like family.

Tucked in our neighborhood is a cozy little Italian gem that feels like Nonna’s kitchen—minus the guilt trips. The vibe is warm, simple, and welcoming. We were greeted by a sweet, soft-spoken hostess she was both professional and kind. Then I heard it—a real Italian accent calling out from the kitchen. That’s when I knew: we were in for something special. And boy, was I right. The homemade bread alone could win awards. I swear an Italian grandmother was back there, pouring love into every loaf and a side of judgement as she should. We’ll definitely be back—probably more often than we should.

We've been coming for about 4yrs now and every time it's perfect. The pizzas are always fresh and never too greasy! One of the few pizzas I can eat without feeling sick afterwards. The quality and service is always top notch! Great job and thank you for staying consistent!

By far the best pizza place I've been to. I don't really eat pizza. My go-to is Philly cheese steak, but not many places make them really good. Kimberly hit the mark, and her customer service was phenomenal. She let us know how delicious the food was and it is SUPER DELICIOUS. We will definitely be coming back for sure. They have more than just pizza. Just give them a try!

We are in town visiting the University of Houston. We stopped here after reading other reviews. My daughter and I each got the calzone and my husband ordered a small margherita pizza. My calzone had pepperoni and mushrooms and my daughter got a pepperoni calzone. The sauce had a nice sweet taste, not too sweet. We all enjoyed our food. It was hot, cheesy, fresh and tasty. The people were all friendly as well. We will definitely come back next time we are in town.
