| - Great pizza. We only had a bad experience once with them (which I'll go into later). Since I won't base my rating based on past experiences, I'm giving this place four stars.
I've only ever gotten pizza from them. The first thing I noticed every time we got a pie was it came to us fast and it was still hot! Often when you get a delivery, the pizza comes warmish but not piping hot. This is a definite plus.
The cheese and toppings are great. I didn't notice the sauce being too sweet but its just right. The dough is delicious. Its fluffy and chewy at the same time. I always say the secret of a good pizza is in the dough and these guys deliver.
I've never gotten their hoagies or salads but several of my coworkers would order one of their salads pretty much every night. They raved about the chicken and feta salad, a salad they felt needed no dressing. It always looked good but I have a hard time paying $10 or more for a salad. Another coworker always got the Italian sausage hoagie. I never tried it but it always looked good. Nice, crusty bread. Lots of meat and cheese piled high.
This place is a bit more expensive than some of the other choices downtown or on the Northside but (except for this one time), the food has always been great.
This one time? We ordered three large pizzas on a Saturday. When they got here, the pizzas were soaked in water. We called back and they fought with us over it. They said they were so wet because they used canned mushrooms. This is a lie because for starters, they use fresh mushrooms, not canned ones. Secondly, the two pizzas without mushrooms were soaked. Thirdly, I've worked in a pizza kitchen before. Even if the cook was super sloppy and opened up a can of mushrooms and just dumped it out of the can, water and all, it wouldn't have produced the amount of fluid on the pizza.
Honestly, I think they used some cheese that had gotten frozen and had formed ice crystals. And they were trying to get rid of the cheese instead of wasting it. They sent us a free pizza....that was the same way. We vowed never to order from them again. Most of us stuck to our guns.
Today, management ordered us pizza so we didn't have to break our word. The pizzas we got today were fine. Quite tasty, as always (except that one time). They just had a bad day and, unfortunately, chose not to throw away the bad cheese. Oh well, I'm not going to hate on them forever for a couple of bad pizzas.
