Ordered a pizza to be delivered... vegan BBQ. It arrived almost completely uncooked. Dough was raw and even cold. Inedible, and for $50.

Absolutely delicious!! This was my second time coming here and I got a 10 inch cheese pizza both times and it was wonderful! The ingredients are fresh and honestly just taste really good. The staff is also really nice! 10/10 amazing!

I had a really disappointing experience here. I ordered a calzone and garlic knots, and almost immediately after eating them I started feeling sick to my stomach. Within a short time I had to rush to the bathroom and ended up throwing up. It was honestly a terrible experience. Beyond that, the food itself was not good at all. The calzone and garlic knots tasted very bland and seemed very unfresh. There was almost no flavor, and the texture made it seem like the ingredients had been sitting around for a while rather than being freshly prepared. When you’re paying for restaurant food, you expect it to at least taste fresh and be made with quality ingredients. Unfortunately this was the complete opposite of that. The whole experience left me feeling sick and extremely disappointed. I rarely write negative reviews, but people should know what they might be getting. I definitely will not be returning.

This place was simply amazing. My husband and I shared a 10 inch vegan pepperoni pizza and that was plenty for us for a lunch meal. I have never had a vegan pizza that was so delicious. The dough that is made fresh daily was everything! We spoke for a while during our lunch to the young lady who took our order and served us. We ultimately discovered she (Eden) was the owner. She is so friendly. She shared with us some of the local things we could do while we were in town and we are so thankful to be able to support this wonderful Black owned restaurant.
