"So GOOD!!! I tried the Italian Beef and it was incredibly flavorful and a really big sandwich!!! Highly recommended!!!"
"Homemade Bread Sticks are extremely bland. They most definitely need the marinara but even then it does not save it. Thin Crust Cheese Pizza (Medium 14") is questionable. Came to me fairly burnt but still fresh. I got italian sausage on it and the sausage is okay. The sauce on the pizza is very bland but its crispy. Definitely would need to spend lots of $ on customizations to make it good with additional flavor. Portion size is good for a medium. Dont think I'll be ordering again."
