Nice warm and cozy atmosphere, finding a front door is little challenging. They had few people smoking right in front of the entrance so it would have been nice not to go through cloud of smoke. Food was excellent!! If you love pizza, you must visit this place. Great choices and pizza was well made so hats off to that. Other food options are there but they are known for pizza so that is what I recommend. We were told that it will take good 30-40 minutes before getting the food which is fine. Server who came and attended us in the beginning disappeared after serving drinks and when time came for the second round, I had to keep waiving my hand to get an attention of someone other than who served us initially to order second round and I thought may be his shift ended but to our surprise he was back with the food. Excuse was that they had a large group so they were distracted, well that doesn't work in service industry when all paying customers are equally important. But lesson here is if they have a large group present when you visit them, you might be treated with less impotence and have to wait to be serviced. Food was great, atmosphere was perfect but because of service factor and smokers right in the main entrance, I am giving 3 stars. I do recommend this place ignoring my experience factor because they exceeded my expectations in the food which is what their business is so definitely worth a visit.

Had a nice visit with former coworkers from the area. Food was fine, but I have to agree with another reviewer about getting staff attention to get service. I came in, sat down with coworkers, and started talking. Waitress came around got some others orders at the table, but though I was clearly new and trying to catch her eye, just ignored me. I finally had to go to the bar and get it myself, after which she was better about including me. Any owner of a service establishment is going to need to be focused on his staff to have that 'sixth-sense' about customer needs - otherwise you are just leaving money on the table or having it walk out the door, never to return. Good luck with finding those people - I still recommend as a place to visit.

The building definitely does not look like a pizza joint but we decided to give it a whirl because it was close to the hospital. Holy Cow. We had the tomato on top or whatever it was called and it was fantastic. Like crazy good. The wings on the appetizer menu appeared to be hand breaded and not some frozen deal. I could be wrong there, but definitely a step above most pizza places wings. The staff was super friendly and attentive. I don't think my drink ever got under half full. Also incredibly reasonable. Some people may scoff at a 22 dollar pizza, but what you're getting is phenominal. Strongly recommend.

Delicious local pub modeled after an old England style pub. The flying tomato pizza is terrific. A testament to it's grace is the fact that it usually packed with locals who keep it full often during off hours and what would be slow times. Forget about quick service on game day. Enough staff and space, simply, is not possible.

Very unique pizza menu with a great drink selection. Very cosy. Staff are attentive and very friendly, even when it's busy, which it usually is. They have carryout that's just as tasty as eating at the restaurant too. If you're getting an appetizer, I recommend the onion rings
