First time here. The service was amazing, so friendly and the pizza was so heavy because it had so many toppings. It was DELICIOUS! The salad was wonderful!! We would drive a couple of hours just to eat here again!! 10/10

So there I was. Craving Mexican pizza. This place pops up with stellar reviews for it. It was perfect. This isn’t some chain pizza place where everything is greasy and doughy. This was REAL dough bread. It was light and not greasy at all. The place was very neatly kept and clean. The staff were very pleasant and kind. And yes, the pizza was amazing. This is a mom and pop pizza shop that’s been in business since the early 70’s and they specialize in one thing. PIZZA. They’re great at it. You will not be disappointed, and I must stress that, while it’s a couple dollars more than Pizza Hut or dominoes or papa John’s, the quality is unmatched. Treat yourself.

We stop in at least once a week. We love Vicki and the staff. The new pizza chef has brought the good pizza back to great. Our favorites are all meat and combo, and we love wings and a salad on game night. Don't miss out on this cozy home town treasure!
