| - For food, price, location, and decor I would have given this place at least 4 stars. I went here once close to when it first opened. I love that it's just steps from the light rail and an easy walk to Mill Ave. It's create your own pizza or mac & cheese (super awesome), and it's cheaper than other similar restaurants, and just as good. I also love the large windows and exposed brick walls...but what I don't love is the service.
The first time I went I didn't notice that the service was slow nearly as much. I did think that it was weird the place was nearly empty and yet service wasn't quick, but I liked everything else so much that I had decided this was going to be my go to neighborhood pizza place.
I went back again tonight. The place was about half full. It took about 5-10 minutes before anyone came over to us after we were told to seat ourselves. The waitress wasn't particularly friendly, she just handed us some menus and asked if we wanted anything to drink besides water. We told her water was fine. We then were there at least another 10 minutes and nothing. We never got our waters, we never got to place our order, and no staff came over at any time. We walked out and walked to one of the many other pizza places nearby (NYPD pizza, it was delicious with excellent service). There are just too many good restaurants within an easy walking distance to ignore the customers as we were treated.
Maybe I will give this place another shot, but I will have a backup plan for when we are ignored for 15-20 minutes. My favorite restaurant in Tempe is a two minute walk away (Postino Annex), and that will always tempt me more (and they have great service).
