This place is unassuming in a small, hole in the wall strip mall. It is away from the strip but soooo worth the trip if you are visiting Branson. The restaurant was clean and we were greeted by the friendly staff when we entered. We went with two medium pizzas for our family of four and we had some left over for an evening snack. There are many gourmet options to choose from and we can't wait to go back to try more of them. This trip we tried a meatball pizza and a buffalo chicken pizza. Both were delicious, although the buffalo pizza really didn't have much buffalo taste to it. The buffalo pizza was more blue cheese and chicken but oh was it good. The price was more expensive then your chain pizza places, but in line with other gourmet pizza places.

Can't wait for our next trip to try some of the other options. Highly recommend for gourmet, thin crust pizza.

Oh my, this food rocks! Super pizza, large portions of fresh toppings, delicious taste, not run of the mill. We had pizza, pasta and a sandwich. All delicious. Also had chocolate cake- sooooo yummy. I wish we had this place near our house. We had it delivered while staying at wilderness at silver dollar city.

We arrived in town late, from a long day of travel and didn't want to cook.

We came here because the kids wanted pizza and we wanted something besides the ordinary you can get back home. I had read the rwviews on here and was a bit leary, but gave it a shot and boy were we glad I did!!
My salad was fresh and crunchy with awesome dressing. Our food was fresh and hot and lots of it!! The bread was delicious too!!
Dessert was a hit!!
Server was fast and friendly and catered to our every need!!
Awesome experience!! I say go!!

My wife and I dropped in on a whim and found a very good place to go for pizza! We were seated quickly and found the place busy with a couple of families and couples, and were waited on quickly. It does take time to get your food, but that's because they prepare everything fresh.

This is actually located in Branson West, and we went there looking for a new place to eat instead of visiting the usual spots in Branson. We were glad we did! Better than Minsky's, better than Pizza Hut and Papa Murphy's, these pizzas are handtossed right there instead of having been frozen. While we were waiting for our meal to arrive, I saw two huge deliveries going out the door, and a couple of pickups being made, attesting to the popularity of the food. They make their own pizza dough and sauce daily.

There is only one choice of crust, and that is thin, and it's very tasty. We made our own Hawaiin pizza, since we didn't want the Mandarin oranges they put on their own version. It was sprinkled very lightly with their own spice, and I think that made it extra tatsty. The crust, which I don't usually eat, was so good I chowed down on it. We had ordered a medium, and usually have some left over, but we just couldn't stop. And we didn't feel stuffed when we were done. They also have subs, pasta, salads, and a selection of gourmet pizzas.

All in all, a really great place to eat for a different pizza experience.

Figured we would give this place a try as we are locals and have not heard much of it... We were greeted as we walked in by at least 5 people, the place was dead with only one other table of people. We took our seats and it took them over 10 minutes to bring us a menu and ask what we wanted to drink. A guy that looked like the boss had to finally tell someone to get us menus. The pizza was mediocre, the sandwich was dry the little bit of meat on it was like eating jerky. They don't hand you a bill, they ring it out themselves and don't allow you to ever view the ticket. I believe I was overcharged because I saw them just randomly adding "sides" while entering it into the register. $1.50 and a couple other .75 cents here and there for nothing? We didn't order any sides. A sandwich and a medium 1 topping pizza was nearly $30. The cashier was rude, never said a word as we exited. No "have a nice day" or even "thank you." or "Here is your receipt." even. Will never go back to any location and will not recommend this place to any tourists or locals.
