Went there for a quick and cheaper alternative to Toscano's across the street. Mistake. The waitress was extremely slow to attend to the needs of the table but was very good at appearing busy. The restaurant is packed with too many tables=no elbow room.
Wine was brought to the tables with many pieces of cork in the glass and it took 10 minutes to get another glass.
Tomato and spinich soup was very basic.
Pasta Bolognese was ok. It tasted like the sauce had been in the fridge for days then re-heated.
$80 for two people/4 glasses of wine/1 soup/2 pasta dishes-Too expensive for my tastes.
I have had the pizza many times and it is good but I would rather go down the street to upper crust for more options and much better pizza.

A small family run pizza house, the queue to get in a testament to its popularity.

Having seen the pizzas on the way in decided to skip the huge salad starters which looked fantastic.

The Pizza for two can be 50/50, a large Pizza with 50% of your topping one side and 50% of your partner on the other side.

Then it is served on an upturned tray in the centre of the table.

The Pizza again home made and the Sox topping I had was mouth watering.

The owner whilst we queued kept us informed of the progress of the table that would be ours.

Very friendly staff arrive early as small and does get busy.

Enjoy

Watermelon and arugula salad with pistachios and parmesan is the perfect blend of flavors, so is the prosciutto and fig...
