“ A very nice pizza restraint and Italian food. The owner Mr. Ramirez is a very wonderful man, jovial, welcoming and ready to make sure you are well served.

“ The manicotti was good! All the food came out fresh and HOT! You won't leave hungry. They did appear to be understaffed as it took a while to be greeted and seated. None of the tables were cleared off. But none of that affected the food! I would go back! ”
“ Great pizzas! Great service when you dine in & also when you order to-go! Love the roomy booths & great lighting@ tables! T.V.'s to watch Football ! They also have "Gluten-Free" crust which is great for me! "The Margherita" pizza is WONDERFUL! I can't say enough good things about this place!!! ”

“ I love the pizza and their pastrami sandwiches are awesome. Good deal for price. Lunch special. Great deal!. ”
“ Hidden gem in the desert. Excellent food and staff. It was good to visit after 15 years and see it was still operating. Simple, inexpensive and many lunch specials to choose from. Plenty of seating available and a back room to sit large parties as well. ”
“ I really enjoyed my pizza. Amelia and Raul were extremely kind in helping us identify a pizza that we could eat safely as we have a lot of allergies. They were able to make us a pizza with olive oil, cheese, & olives and it was delicious! I enjoyed the amount of toppings (they put a lot), the flavor of the cheese, and the crust was perfectly cooked and delicious, thank you again! We ordered an extra large one and added basil a few days later from Jesus and Gerardo. Thank you again! ”
“ We actually weren't planning on stopping here, maybe because of almost missing it due to the outside being kind of outdated and faded......But, I'm so glad we found it. It had a very nostalgic feel. You can view the extremely clean cooking and prep area and are greeted by every single worker as you walk in. Everyone was great and attentive, and the food was on point. We chose to go with 2 of their lunch specials. I had the Italian sub, which was served on a toasted sub roll. It was very fresh and flavorful, and I had a choice of either soup or salad. I chose the salad with the house made Italian dressing, delicious!!!!! Hubby had the personal pizza, and he chose pepperoni with extra pepperoni. It was truly remarkable. This little hidden gem is a local small business, and if you haven't noticed it or stopped there, you need to. I look forward to our next adventure out that way. We will definitely stop by. ”
