Said pizza would be done in about 25 minutes, took a little longer. Cost for a large cheese was $15.64, definitely not the cheapest in Fort Wayne, but not a bank breaker either.Place was a little dingy, but it's a bar, so.Pizza review: Pretty good pizza. I asked for a large 14 cheese, done. They delivered, but not actually lol. Crust had that good crunch to it and held the pizza up, while also having good flavor. Underside was surprisingly plain, usually being this toasted they are a little dark on the bottom. Cheese tasted good, with heavy tones of toasted mozzarella. Seasoning, as seen on top of the cheese were strong, leading with basil and oregano? Sauce had a semi sweet taste up front, but mellows down into more of a classic pizza sauce flavor... could have had a touch more sauce, pizza just seemed a touch dry. Overall, Joyce, the bar, the pizza, 7.1? Good pizza, great bartender.
