"Best sauce in my opinion."
"Create Your Own Pizza , Original Breadsticks and Double Chocolate Chip Brownie were great. Buffalo Boneless Wings were the most sorry excuse for wings I think I've ever seen. They were like really cheap frozen chicken nuggets with buffalo sauce drizzled on top. Texture was terrible, not crispy at all, not coated in sauce, just drizzled. Buffalo Boneless Wings are a HUGE waste of money. I will probably throw them away they're that bad."

"The baked Alfredo was pretty bland. Wasn't really impressed but it was okay. The Hawaiian Chicken Pizza was really good. The salty flavor from the ham and the sweet from the pineapple is always good but the green pepper added a nice crunchy fresh flavor to it."
"Im glad I received my food as late as I ordered it. Make sure when you order The Big New Yorker - Create Your Own you add extra toppings if not your pizza will come without any toppings. Also, I ordered 16 Breaded Boneless Wings and only received 8, and they were the wrong flavor as well. The Cinnamon Sticks were kind of dry, and almost flavorless. "

"This place hit the spot! Spaghetti was great (I ordered meat sauce and marinara sauce and puta little of both on the noodles). I was so hungry (from smelling the sauce) that I failed to take any pictures. The only complaint I would have is that the bread was too hard to bite into. But I was okay with that-- I tore off as much of the crust that I could and dipped it in the sauce. I will def order from here again!"

Sometimes it's a large entree sometimes it's small. Also EVERY time we order the bags are always ripped at the bottom and sauce is all over the bag.
