“ *Update* 8•22.. You guys really listened, I was hesitant when I was treated to your pizza for the 2nd time.. This experience, though, has won me over.. and your zeppoles are nice and light.. Thanks for listening to your customers.. I was initially excited to see that a new (authentic??) Italian restaurant/Pizzeria was opening up in my neighborhood.. Unfortunately, it's not as I expected it to be. I had mushroom pizza, and it looked good, but it was beyond bland, the sauce was flavorless, and the crust a disappointment.. Found out from others that they, too, find the pizza sauce needs FLAVOR..!! If you're going to use what tastes like canned/bottled sauce, at least season it first.. Some others must not know authentic Italian food by touting this as good, but to each its own.. ”

“ Hidden Gem the best chicken parm w/ vodka linguine… let’s just say I couldn’t stop eating and the portion was huge. They also offer unique pizzas from $2-4 per slice and the hospitality was amazing. Come enjoy!! ”

“ When I say the penne vodka with the chicken cutlet parm on top was absolutely delicious wow sooooo good (next time I’m just gonna have to order extra penne sauce on the side I’m a sauce lover ) but it was soooo good the garlic knots dipped in the marinara sauce was soooo good . The people were polite patient and pleasant !!!!!! I will definitely be back !!! ”
