Payment and Pricing

Pros:

• "Price was good too."
• "It was well worth the money for this pizza when you pick up the box the weight of the pizza let's you know you have something special."
• "A great pizza place. Reasonable prices for the size of slices or the whole thing."
• "I did find the prices here to be reasonable."
• "Hands down the best pizza I’ve ever had and not expensive!"
• "Their sausage pizza is so good I never get anything else. The price is a little higher but when you feel the weight of the box...their large pizza is 'actually' large...it's worth the price."
• "Pizza here is really good. Best sausage pizza anywhere."

Cons:

• "It's just cash only, so you just can't pop in and get a slice or pie on your card."
• "It doesn't use debit cards, or credit cards. They do have a ATM, with a fee of course. Didn't like that they don't use gloves, especially now, during this pandemic."
• "Been coming here since the 80s. Prices are higher here than any other local pizza shop."
• "Average food, limited options for payment and sodas. All in all, I expected better. They don't accept credit or debit, but they do have an ATM out front...I'm sure they get a percentage of the surcharge."
• "They are a cash only establishment, and if you don't know that going in, they will literally laugh at you when you try to pay with a card."
• "To be honest I think it's a bunch of BS that they dont take credit cards at this point it shows how arrogant of a business they are.. stop living in 1970 and join the the rest of us ..."
