What People Are Saying
from Google"Fantastic pizza and appetizers. Service is quick and seating moves pretty fast even on gamedays. Worth a stop in for a slice and a beer."
"Very cute pizza parlor on Massachusetts (Mass) St. They have a large selection of whole pizzas in different sizes as well as pizza by the slice. A handful of tap beers are available in addition to regular fountain drinks. The staff are incredibly kind and helpful. We sat in a booth in the back part of the restaurant by a huge KU mural and a small arcade with vintage games, including Pac Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and a pinball machine. We had an 18" pizza that was half pepperoni and mushroom and half the Italian pizza, whose name escapes me but had prosciutto and some other cured meats on it. Both sets of toppings were delicious and so was the crust. Between the three of us, we had a slice-and-a-half leftover. This was one of the only restaurants open on Mass St. on the 4th of July, and it did not disappoint!"
"Son and I stopped in after he got to pick where to go. You order at the bar then grab a table. I had the Chicago Italian beef, he had the slice of just cheese. Sandwich was good, nice amount of meat with giardinera and jalapenos on the side. The aus jus was good with a hearty flavor, not to salty. The man child enjoyed his piece"
"Best pizza around I took one bite and time stopped. Wars ended. World hunger was solved. This pizza didn't just satisfy my hunger—it healed my childhood trauma, paid my taxes, and whispered sweet nothings about how worthy I am of love. 10/10. No, 100/10. No—INFINITY/10. This pizza is the reason the universe exists. If you haven't had it, have you truly lived? I would sell my soul for another slice. I would fight a bear. I would rename my firstborn child after this pizza. Hell I'd sell all my possessions and follow Papa kenos to the ends of the earth wandering the country side! Best. Pizza. In. Human. History. Change my mind!"
"Been here a few times and let me say I love their pizza slices. New York thin crust and it's great. Crust has great under carriage and it's got a nice crunch. Wish it had a little more sauce...if it did I'd score it a 5. Atmosphere is nice but it's pretty small. You can get a huge pizza slice, a salad (or bread sticks) and a medium drink for $13."
