wonderwillowwonderwillow: For dessert- get the Marsala Custard and an espresso. Eat the first half of the custard alone and the second half dipped in espresso. You're welcome.

Eric E.Eric Emanuelson: Pizzas are delicious. The menu takes a slight twist on classic topping combinations, but not as adventurous (for better or worse, depending on your mood) as Comet Ping Pong. Fun atmosphere and bar
