This is my First Official Review and the only reason why I am doing it is simply because I had a terrible experience. First Of all let me talk about service. The staff was spaced out hardly attentive and not "in" it.  Second we ordered drinks and all they had were 12 oz cans. Third we received our appetizers at the same time as our pizza. And all of this were served on Styrofoam Plates and not even real plates. Lets talk about food quality: Chicken tenders, Frozen, baked in the pizza oven, slightly burnt and very dry.

Not very Flavorful not crispy like they should be. Pizza was the best thing we ate and even that was skimped on with the toppings. The pizza crust was ON POINT perfect flavor and perfectly cooked. On a general scale of 1 to 5 from what we experienced I would give ...
