The hot wings are good just a little salty, they have a good crispy consistency. There pizza is a lot better than what the other reviewer said. Their prices are ok. The owner is a nice guy.

The pizza is bland, but edible. However, this restaurant is in the basement of an apartment building. I lived for one year in an apartment on the 4th floor. There were incessant cockroach problems.

save your self the misery and sore disappointment, stay away from this place. i was hoping to find a local neighborhood gem but instead got an ammonia smelling fried fish sandwich, fogettable pizza and paid way too much money for it. the place has a nice old school italian american feel to it but thats where the appeal ends. I was so disappointed.
