• I called for a large plain cheese and it won the approval of my picky kids. I certainly enjoyed it like the old times....using the napkin to dab off the grease at [sic] you fold and hold the pie in half. – ddkmdFairfax_VA, TripAdvisor
• Achieves that right balance between cheese and sauce with a unique crust that's very thin and crispy right out of the oven, then kind of morphs into a pleasant chewiness. This is simple, uncomplicated but very good tasting pizza. – Brent, Urbanspoon
