When we first walked in we were a little confused as to whether we should order at the counter or go sit or wait to be seated. A sign would be a great addition. A couple minutes later a gentleman came and asked how he could help so I told him we wanted to dine in and he told us to have a seat. He went and got us some menus then came back to take our drink order. We ordered drinks and the garlic knots. The tea was not good so I exchanged it for a soft drink with no issue. We then ordered our food. I was able to watch from where I was sitting and it was pretty neat watching how they made them and took the dough from so small into a good size pizza. The garlic knots came out and they were the best I think I have ever had. The size was perfect, the ratio of garlic to butter was perfect, and they had a nice little crunch to them. The pizzas were both cooked perfectly and looked great. (Sorry for the blurry pepperoni pic) The pepperoni pizza had a perfect amount of everything, nothing I would change about that. The Lasagna pizza was great, just needed to have some more sauce. A thin layer of sauce below the cheese or some additional sauce to dip in would have been a way to get that sauce flavor. To my surprise, it really did taste like lasagna. The server was pretty attentive for the most part. Better than most places we have visited. I will definitely be going back to this place once this adventure has ended to try some of their other pizzas.
