Wanted a nice place but not too formal or heavy and this fit the bill.We started out with two shareables, which is what they call their appetizers. The roasted olives were served warm, and those with blistered skins picked up some smoky notes from the wood fired oven, which was nice. The next was a roasted sweet potato that was sliced and had balsamic glaze drizzled in it. Nice, but a few flakes of salt would have helped.We then shared their roasted beet salad. It featured pickled red onions, arugula, walnuts, and a vinegary dressing. Quite nice and large enough for four people to share.We also got their roasted zucchini pizza. Nice crust that was not greasy. Because of the veggies, it was on the sweet side, which was a surprise, but not badWe also got a nice bottle of wine from a Michigan winery that pulled everything together. Total bill was $25 per person which is very reasonable.Check out the photo of the slicer!

Some of the best thin-crust pizza I have had the opportunity to try! Typically when going to wood-fired pizza places like this, I am impressed with the homemade sauce that they use. The sauce was good here, but this is the first time where I was truly impressed with the dough itself! It tasted very fresh.Highly recommend the wood fired vegetable pizza and wood fired beet salad. Minestrone soup seemed like it had been sitting for some time and had to wait quite a while for service in general. Otherwise, great experience and will return!

Is there a reason why they don't cut their pizza into slices. I ordered 2 pepperoni pizza one with extra cheese. I got both not cut and no extra cheese on the other. But I paid 4 dollars for extra cheese. And there's no taste in there pizza. And the pasta that they serve us has been prepared 5 to 6 day's before. That's why everyone complains about the pasta.

The pizza was excellent (Tuscan style), as was the ancient grains salad. I came on a Wednesday night alone. Service was great and the bartender made a great Manhattan.

Service was great. The food (including the gluten free + vegan cheese pizza) was ok.

Phenomenal environment. Sat down with a friend for close to 4 hours and staff was still attentive and were not rushing us out of the door or forcing us to pick up and leave as soon as our meal was done.Ordered the Brussel sprout app, you will not go wrong and the rigatoni bolognese, just deliciously divine.

At first glance this location looked like a family mid to up scale restaurant. Unfortunately, it turned out to be extremely disappointing. The waitress was rude, lack of respect, and very unprofessional.We ordered appetizers and Pizza. They forgot to put in our main entree (which was the pizza). Honestly, the appetizers were not that good. I personally would not go back or recommend it to anyone.

This place has the best pizza I have ever had from a fine dining Italian place. I get mines with sausage and pepperoni and it is delicious. A very clean establishment and the wait staff very helpful and sweet

PROs: nice embiance, very good pizza, very nice menu. Very good pricing. CONs: poor service: zero empathy in communicating they couldn't make a listed drink; zero will in accomodating a basic request about low alcoholic drinks; extremely slow delivery; neglected to pass by and check how things were going; no offer for a dessert menu (we received the bill before we asked for it - half empty restaurant). People who don't like people simply shouldn't be in activities implying customer care. Conclusions: you can have a nice time because of the fine food and the ambiance, but if you get the wrong server your evening might get spoiled.

Absolute pizza perfection! Great service! Amazing glutenfree crust.
