| - Cheap, convenient, fast, lively environment. And for those reason this place gets 1 star.
Keep in mind this restaurant is near a college campus and you might understand why it averages 3 stars.
Service: nearly nonexistent. Someone will come take your order and years later, you'll get your food. Plates will come stacked and you'll have to divvy them out yourselves. Soda comes with only 1 refill.
Food: this is not "pizza" and this certainly is not "Italian food". The pizza dough tasted like it was frozen, prepackaged, mass produced....maybe even from the same factory that makes domino's pizza....(on second thought, domino's dough is better). The cheese was probably the closest thing to what you'd normally find on a pizza. The sauce...I don't even remember. We ordered their spaghetti and meatballs, which consisted of a pile of spaghetti (tasted like grocery box-type dry spaghetti) with a small pile of sauce, topped off with two medium sized meatballs - yup just two meatballs for the entire entree dish (which also tasted overground/store-frozen). We also got zucchini sticks - such a sad excuse for an appetizer. The zucchini was probably 3 mm in thickness and again tasted frozen. I'm pretty much convinced that they buy their products from the same factory that ships out the frozen food you'd find in a grocery store aisle (and no, not Whole Foods). This might sound harsh, but when there's places like Lombardi's/Grimaldi's in NYC and Lou Malnati's/Giordano's in Chicago (which all get 5 stars), I simply can't give this place anything more than a zero for food if it's going to call their food "pizza".
Best part about the whole experience was when the check came. Oh wow! Such a cheap meal. Yes, I certainly got what I paid for!
