Cons:

  • "Service terrible and they weren't even busy."

  • "The food is exceptional and original."

Cons:

  • "Their house ketchup is in a word, gross."

  • "The Food was BAD. The first round of two pizzas was undercooked, the dough was raw at the center on both."

  • "The atmosphere is interesting."
