    Mashed potato pizza...you're thinking, "huh?" TRY IT. Amazing pizza and a pretty cool vibe.

    I can see why it's called basic. Red sauce is warmed tomato paste. Pizza was bland. Can't see why everyone raved over mashed potato pizza. Meatball pizza was ok. Overpriced.

    Challenge the bartenders to a margarita stand-off. Cheryl versus Mike. Tell one that the other's is better, and have him/her try to "out-do" the other one. And have a great night.

    The pizza is okay, the bar during normal hours is okay. The after 10:30pm scene on a Saturday night is pumpin' though; great DJ. The women here tend to be very friendly (your mileage may vary).

    No drink specials midweek. :( No way Im spending the same price for a drink as a Saturday night when there are 10 people in the place. Epic Fail

    Don't go here. This place is a joke. Bouncer is an asshole. Pizza tastes like cardboard.

    Buenas pizzas. Un poco caro por la zona. Ambiente agradable. Servicio frío e impersonal. Comida de calidad adecuada. Solo si se está turisteando por la zona.
