"The best arugula pizza. I usually don't like arugula on pizza, but this was balanced perfectly. The garlc knots are soft, clearly made with very fine flour. And the tiramisu was fantastic. It was creamy and light. Good tiramisu is very hard to find. I highly recommend this place."
"Sauce tasted like it was right out of the can, pasta was overcooked, and the overall dish looked like dog food. It also seems odd paying $7 for two tiny flavorless meatballs. This place overall was pretty horrible. "

"Salads are always fresh and delicious. We especially love the classic Caesar with the BBQ Chicken pizza. "
"The portion sizes were very small. When we eat in at the restaurant, the corn guacamole is a decent size for two people. We received it and it was a half cup, maybe. The chicken piccata was dry and one of the chicken breast was about 2 inches by 1 1/2 inches by a quarter inch thick. The pizza had a slice of Pineapple on each slice, barley any onions and chicken. This meal cost $135.00. I think when restaurants start cutting down there portions and increasing the price, it probably means they're close to shutting down. It just wasn't worth the money I spent for the food we got. Very disappointing."

"I ordered the mushroom pasta. It was OK I had to add seasoning to it because it was quite bland but once I did that it was good. The Caesar salad was quite large but it's $19 and it's lettuce and a couple of croutons. And the Parmesan was graded which probably means it was not the freshest Parmesan so that was disappointed"
"Not great. I've eaten there before a few years ago but the pizza was cafeteria style and the ravioli was "OK" but not 19$ value or taste."

I appreciate the portions when I ordered their penne pollo pasta is very flavorful(a little spicy, for those who don't eat a lot of spicy food like me) my favorite is "the works" also a little spicy because of the chipotle sauce but it is amazing!!! Five stars for sure!!!"

"I have never tried any Sub place besides subway so I decided to give this place a try. In my honest experience it's not bad taste very fresh compare to subway and they don't hold back on the lettuce haha. The bread is super good I really love the #8 Club Sub I got. The only downfall for me it's a bit too dry. I like my sub with a lot of condiments/dressing either way I could add more at home. Overall it's very good can't wait to try the other subs they have. If your tired of subway give Jersey mikes a try!"
