Food Highlights

Jay
  • Margherita Tonda Pizza: Thin, crispy crust topped with fresh mozzarella, San Marzano tomatoes, and basil. Reviewers call it “simple perfection” with a tangy sauce that steals the show.
  • Diavolo Pizza: Spicy salami, roasted peppers, and chili oil turn this pie into a flavor bomb for heat seekers.
  • Meatball Sub: Juicy, housemade meatballs drenched in marinara on a seeded roll—so massive it’s practically a commitment. 🥪
  • Chicken Cutlet Sandwich: Crunchy, golden fried chicken piled high with provolone and arugula. One Yelper claimed it’s “moist enough to convert sandwich skeptics.”
  • Pistachio Tiramisu: A weekly special that swaps classic coffee for nutty pistachio cream. Pro tip: Bring back the jar for a discount! 🍰
  • Housemade Gnocchi: Pillowy potato dumplings sold in the market—grab a pack with their tomato sauce for an instant gourmet dinner.
