What People Say

Reviewers rave about the thin, crispy crusts, generous toppings, and the unique specialty pies like the spicy sausage and honey or the prosciutto arugula. Many appreciate the friendly, attentive service and say the staff is great at handling pre-concert crowds. Guests also love that the vibe is casual and upbeat, often noting it's the perfect place to unwind before heading to a show.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners mention that the space is on the smaller side, so it can feel a bit snug during peak hours. Parking can occasionally be tricky, especially on weekend nights, so arriving a bit early is a smart move. And while there’s no strict dress code, it tends to lean very casual—great for concert-goers, less so if you’re dressed to impress.
