From the moment I walked into this little pizza place, I could feel how passionate their staff was about their product. Every customer was greeted with a smile and warm, friendly service.

At first, I was skeptical; the idea of seafood and spaghetti paired with pizza seemed like an odd combination, but after eating there I realized what a great choice it was.
The first thing that stood out to me was the selection of alcoholic beverages. They have beer, wine and hard liquor! This made me very happy when I found out. They also have a kids menu so your whole family can enjoy this place together.
