Charming restaurant with delicious artisian pizzas amongst many other things. They have inside bar and table seating and outdoor covered table seating. My friend had The Green Machine pizza and I had the Truffle Shuffle pizza. Both were mouthwatering, the dough was so flavorful!

Great pizza ? and amazing atmosphere. We sat on the outside patio and had a great time with friends. ? Spectacular!

Really the best pizza in the area. Staff is super nice and the location is cozy and convenient.

This is probably the hardest restaurant to review. The service was great. The pizza was amazing. I couldn’t believe it was a cauliflower crust. I hate cauliflower but it tasted nothing like it. Yum! My pasta with meatballs, not so good. The meatballs tasted like they were made with a cleaning agent. Not the best at all. They said they were microwaved and not a lot of ppl like it. I appreciated the honesty, but it wasn’t the microwave that made them taste unpleasant. Also, the music was super loud and it was far from dining music lol.. like Megadeath stuff. The older couple by us were laughing too, but they changed after my Mom said something. I like this place for some reason, but not a perfect experience. The waitstaff made this review a 4. If not for them, it would’ve been a 2.

Pizza is AMAZING! Possibly best I've ever had. And if you go Wednesday and drink wine, you just found your new Wednesday hang out. Half off basically all their wine. Just not bottles over $60.

Small & pleasant outdoor seating! - friendly staff - super tasty cauliflower pizza crust - would have never known it could be that good….whaaatt ! - sorry but get off the small business’s for slightly slower service .. come on now - order wine by the bottle & chill and enjoy!

Pizza was delish @ the grilled Brussel sprouts were the best

Excellent service! So friendly, and helpful with our wine selection. Delicious unique pizza!

I have eaten at the fountain three times. The first time was good, the second time was OK and this past Saturday frankly stunk. My friend and I enjoyed the turkey avocado sandwich. The kale and Caesar salads were nothing special. The waitress was rude. When we asked what was keeping our lunch she snapped that there was only one cook in the kitchen. She continued with her attitude and earned the tip she deserved.

Blue tomato soup (tomato soup with bits of Bleu cheese) was delicious, but Caesar salad was close to inedible. Virtually no dressing, croutons or cheese. Just a bowl of hard, tasteless Romaine. Great location, but steer clear of the salad.
