Wow is how this one needs to begin. As most know, this place is carryout which had me skeptical because normally when you have to take it home you don't get that fresh out of the oven experience. Let's start with the order. When I called in my order the man was so nice, answered all my questions, and sounded like he really wanted to be there. I asked for it to be ready at a certain time and he said no problem. I have called other places before and when asked for a certain time I get an attitude or when I go to pick it up I can tell it has been sitting. This was not my experience here. I actually arrived about 5 minutes earlier than I expected. I walked in and was immediately greeted with a smile. I gave the woman my name and the man behind her said it had just a couple minutes left which was perfect. It shows me they took what I said on the phone into consideration and was doing as I asked to make my order right. Bonus points right there. As I waited I had a great conversation with the woman which I am assuming is the owner. It was a wonderful conversation and I felt like I have known her for years. Actually this was my first time ever there. I pay for my food once it was about ready and left, feeling like this was the best service I have received in my life, anywhere. Some of you may think I am exaggerating but I am not. A smile and good conversation goes a long way as you never know what the other person may be facing. Now lets get to the food. It smelled amazing and I was so excited to get home and open up these boxes. They looked just as good as they smelled. The taste was amazing. The crust was cooked to perfection, it had just a slight crunch on the edges and was perfectly foldable in the middle. The sauce was savory and seasoned perfect. The amount of toppings complimented the pizza and were evenly distributed. I could tell that whoever made it, made sure it was good. The garlic rolls were huge and very tasty. I did have to pat some of the butter off but not enough to make a difference in my rating from my personal experience. If you have not tried this place you should.
