This place was great! We were well taken care of and this food is always great! They aren't skimpy with the cheese or toppings. My family and I also ordered a salad and fries and it was just enough food for all of us. I definitely will be back! Follow me on insta: lexi_409

Pizza is that good old- fashioned pizza style with a large chop on their veggies! Just the way I love them! Generous with the meat pieces also. You can actually taste their toppings with every bite! The cheese is fresh, real and cheesy flavorful! Their pizza sauce like everything else is generous and seasoned with pesto! True, true Italian pizza! I loved the side of wing dings we ordered to crunch along with the pizza!

I wrote past review 5 years ago... What I said was true but after their reopening under new management, it was a great surprise to see the expanded menus and hand dipped ice cream! Plus specials each day and custom orders for cookies, chocolate nachos, private parties... This place deserves to be full each day!

We ordered a large pizza with double cheese, bacon, hamburger and mushrooms. It was the best pizza we have had in quite a while. The ingredients were fresh and the crust was amazing. Talk about a hidden jewel! If you haven't tried the "NEW POMPEII" you are missing a treat. Can't wait to try other menu choices. Keep up the good work! God bless.

I think it was the owner who we encountered yesterday and man she was amazing with my autistic little boy. He was very friendly to her and she was back to him. She was super busy and still got our food out fast. Her name was I think Carrie and she was absolutely a gem. Not only was the service good the food always is great. 10 out of 10 my go to comfort food place. If you're looking for a good salad and friendly service above and beyond eat here.
