We got a meat lovers regular crust and a meat lover / veggie lovers gluten-free crust. Probably won't get so many toppings next time on my gluten-free crust it was hard to taste the sauce or notice the cheese. Definitely will be going back here to try different toppings. The customer service was great the restaurant was clean. I ordered to go and it was ready when I got there. Definitely would recommend stopping by and grabbing a pizza. The price for the pizza we got was definitely on point.

Food was great! Wings definitely hit the spot. We probably won’t order the Buffalo chicken pizza again (just not our thing) but we will definitely try other toppings! $22 for medium pizza and 6 wings. Will definitely eat here again.

Everything you'd expect and more from a little hometown restaurant. Some friends of ours had told us how good this little family owned pizza joint was. They were not wrong. They've been there for 5 years for a reason. Stop in and get some pizza by the slice ( which is half a pizza by the way), a couple of toasted hot dogs with homemade chili(1.00 on Tuesday), and some good ol southern sweet tea with lemon. The crew there were super nice, quick to our table, and our drinks never ran dry. A very good find right off of Hwy 70 headed towards the beach or back home. Easy access with decent parking and disabled parking with fairly easy access and tables to pull chairs away from for wheelchair bound people.

We stopped by for the first time. I had the hot dog and fries. My daughter had the Lunch Special of 2 slices of pizza and a drink. Y'all, they brought out 2 of these which makes a whole 12 inch pizza! The food was delicious and the prices were good. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I'm definitely coming back!
