I ate here for dinner when traveling through town. The mushroom madness pizza was excellent. The service was attentive, and the iced tea was excellent. I will revisit the restaurant the next time I am in the Akron area and desire pizza.

My first experience was good but I just ate here today. The server was clueless, they were out of everything and more importantly..the display of their personal politics all over the walls and ceiling were intrusive. I'm all for believing in what you want but it was ridiculous. Let me also mention the yahoos who were letting their kid hang from some metal bars on the outdoor patio. You couldn't enjoy your dinner if you wanted to. We were so stressed thinking the kid was going to fall and crack his face open yet the adults were talking a video of it all. This review says it all. Never ever ever going there again.

$0.20 added to ea $5 special and they added 4% to the bill for "taxes" but actually a credit card fee before you pay so you're paying a credit card fee even if you pay cash super shady. The waitress never came back after she gave us our pizza and my pizza came out messed up. The dough formed a huge bubble so there was nothing on 2 of the 4 pieces. The pizza was just ok. The wine was not good. I tried the house blend white and house blend red. The red was terrible

Tldr: meh food, worse attitude, not worth the cost. Will never get food from here againGot this tonight (2/9/22) and it was not great. Got a large half pep, half sausage/pep; crazy bread; some the micro brew diet cola; and a slice of new York cheesecake. Let's review the food:Pizza: tasted like a knock-off version of that all fired up pizza place, and was room temp when we picked it up (scheduled for 8pm, Got there at 802pm)Crazy bread: also a knock off version of all fired up pizza, also room temp, had almost 0 cheese one it at all.Micro brew diet cola: pretty decent, light of flavorNew York cheesecake: has sauce on it, doesn't say that when you order. It is so small that I could give it to my 10 month old as a snackNow, you may ask why we didn't say anything while picking up. Well, the attitude of everyone we interacted at this location was horrible. Snotty, clipped answers to questions, no greeting when entering, seemed like we as paying customers were just an inconvenience to dare to interrupt them to get our food.

Amazing food! Amazing owner…??????

You have to make it a point to stop by this amazing family owned gem in Akron. Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Highly Recommend!

Literally the best pizza I have ever had in Ohio and the best environment ever. The owners are amazing very good people and it is a small family owned business. There is a cold bar with beer and wine and liquor. My friends have been eating there for months and tonight was my first night actually trying the food and going in. This is my new favorite restaurant.❤️

Authentic flavor without overpowering sauces. I tried the Diablo pizza with added chicken. I loved the hot and savory sauce and the pizza was loaded with jalapenos. This might not be appropriate for people who cannot eat hot dishes.The pizza place is small and cozy. Might get crowded at weekends and night because of the pub inside.The only con I felt is you need to be double sure of the prices. When I wanted to add chicken to the pizza, the server mentioned the cost which was less than the menu. But the cheque had the price of the menu.

Stopped in on Wednesday night for the guest bartender night and my food and drinks were awesome!!! The pizzas and salads are delicious!! Can’t wait to go back. Love that they support first responders! I will definitely give this local spot my family’s business from mow on.Disclaimer: this is a wood fired pizza joint the pizza is made exactly how a Neapolitan pizza should be made, char and all! If you don’t like authentic Neapolitan pies then this pizza may not be the place for you. However we will continue to enjoy it!!

The pizza is delicious! Highly recommend!!
