A bit on the salty side, but generous with the mushroom topping, on a sturdy crisp crust. Very yummy. Didn't try anything else on the menu, but pizza seems to be their winning item anyway!

Everyone else at the table loved the Pizza but the Calamari we ordered, probably the worst I have ever had (and I pretty much always order calamari). It was like trying to eat a leather shoe and such a small portion for the price. If you are going to go here, ONLY go for the Pizza. Be prepared to wait ages to be served and don't desperately need a drink refill half way though dinner, you will probably choke waiting for someone to serve you. while the restaurant has the potential to be a really nice "old school" Italian dining experience, it really and truly needs an update, including the broken dirty menus.

Delicious pizzas at a reasonable cost with welcoming staff. read more Delicious pizzas at a reasonable cost with welcoming staff.
