Owner/manager (whoever he is) is definitely thuggish, hostile, and rude. I have witnessed two shouting sessions in which the owner was yellling profanities at someone. Worst of all, I've seen him punch and push a customer. Can you imagine????? The pizza is marginal so hardly worth it. Do not go to this restaurant. See the other review about the strollers... more

I was party to a disgraceful and upsetting episode at this pizza place. Following a request by a customer with children for space for a stroller, the customer was told to get out of the restaurant and he cursed at the customer and his children. Several times. This episode was followed by a fist fight in which the customer was... more

I went there with my family although they served water in sippy cups they were very unfriendly. They made us wake our sleeping baby as they would not allow strollers in the restaurant. When the baby woke up we placed her in a highchair and were cursed out (yes in front of the kids) by the owner for not moving... more

We were prepared for the worst because of previous reviews about service but we had no problems...granted we were the only two patrons in the restaurant for a late lunch. Service was excellent and the pizzas were to die for! Don't be afraid of the Duck Pizza or to make your own gourmet pizza. more
