The staff was quite unfriendly. I would rate the food a 4, the service a 2, and the atmosphere a 3.

I was curious about what kind of experience I was stepping into. The woman running the place was quite fiery and kept mentioning how she was ready to quit. Her pizza-cutting skills would put even Michael Myers to shame! It was my first time trying pizza from a trailer, but I learned from "Breaking Bad" not to underestimate a cook in a trailer. I'm not sure if we had sausage or raccoon on our pizza, but it was way better than anything from Papa John's. This spot may lack a bit in the kindness and cleanliness departments, but it definitely has character—and some fantastic pizza. In the end, that's what really counts.

The meat lover's pizza and chef salad were outstanding! They were incredibly flavorful!

I've ordered the same pizza 3 times and it's been wrong everytime. I verified they had it wrote down correctly each time and they still got it wrong. I called them to make a complaint and they wanted me to drive 30 minutes to bring it back. It's rediculous and they don't care rather your satisfied or not Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50
