I have to admit I was not excited to hear a chain was coming to my town. I prefer to support local restaurants rather then large chains. I also thought the excitement about it was ridiculous, it is a PIZZA place for pete's sake! We finally went last week and had a wait for a table of about 35 minutes, but we found a seat at the bar and waited - the bartenders were awesome and told us all about the founder and the story etc. We were finally seated and I had the stuffed riga-tony and it was very good! Server was slow in getting a drink I ordered to me in time, we were ready to leave before it showed up. So, service was a little slow, but the food and atmosphere were good. I think they have some room for improvement but we will be back.
