| - If you're looking for made-to-order pizza, go somewhere else. As a NYer, I had high hopes for this thin-crust location, especially when they ran a promotion and gave you a coupon on opening day. Unfortunately, it was underwhelming. There are a few in the North Lake area, so you're better off picking somewhere else.
Starting with the pizza: the recommended combos didn't seem that appealing, but they do exist if you're in a rush, or are indecisive. I got the carnivore minus red onions, expecting the "meat lovers" classic to be a solid choice. Unfortunately, it all just came off kind of wimpy. The sauce was especially sad. Rather thin, and had that "fresh out of a can" taste. I will give them props for having non-pizza options like salad, but if the best thing I can say about your pizza place is "you have salad" you're in trouble. They also opted for the standard 6 or 8 spout soda fountain, as opposed to the Freestyle option many casual dining locations are going with nowadays; if you're going to customize your pizza, why not customize your drink too?
And the layout: it's just not intuitive. It's like they didn't beta-test it, or do a walk-through as a potential customer before the opened. When you walk in, you're led right to the take-out menus, and the signage leaves you wandering a bit before figuring out you're supposed to make a hard right as soon as you come in. Once you've turned right, the personalization or pre-made options are kind of hidden behind a pillar. Once you've ordered your pizza, the drinks are in an alcove behind you, so you're left searching for a bit again. I also know I wasn't the only one left searching for a lid once I got my drink. They're on the wall to the right of the machine, instead of on the left with the straws and literally all the other utensils.
On the whole, I felt like a disoriented child, wandering around the restaurant, only to wind up with a sub-par pizza at the end. Not worth the time.
