Nicole Rocchio: Big Ang and margherita pizza with olives straight from spain👀!! Great pizza and awesome customer service
Sandra Rubinchik: They call it the MVP for a reason. (Okay, tbh, the reason is because it’s margherita, vodka, and pesto sauces all in one pie.)

Jamie: The waitress with dreadlocks is the hottest woman I've ever met.
Sleazy E: The pork shoulder is like a hug from Jesus. Like, the kind of hug that leads to the blinds getting closed and the funky porn music starts playing. Dirty Christ sex; the pork shoulder here is THAT good
Jamie Brew: Brunch is the best. Banoffee pancakes, scones, bubbles and squeak, side of bangers, and a pint of Wells Banana Bread. Football on the telly. Cant go wrong on a Sunday morning.
