What really sets this place apart though is the dedication behind it. The business is owned and operated by a husband and wife team who started out with a food truck. Now running seven days a week from their brick-and-mortar location, they handle everything themselves, from hand-making dough and sauce to ensuring every detail is just right. Their passion shows in the pizza, the service, and the atmosphere, and that passion, shown in how good their pies taste, keeps people coming back again and again.
