On the wall inside their tiny, spartan dining room is a poster for the film "Seabiscuit" about the horse racing champion that looked like far less than a winner. It's a good metaphor for this ma-and-pa hole-in-the-wall pizzeria. At first glance, it's the kind of...place you'd hesitate to walk into, and it doesn't get any better on the other side of the threshold. But be brave! The food is worth it.
I stake that claim on a single visit, how? With a great crust, generous toppings, the right cheeses, and a bargain price, what's not to like? The marinara is thick but not too chunky, zesty but not overly spicy, and loaded with oregano. Everything I like in this most essential condiment.
The service might have been better, had I not been alone and with a small order comes a smaller tip. I have no complaints, I left a $2 tip on an $8 meal, I make no judgment, and I would absolutely eat there again in the unlikely event that I ever return to their neck of the woods. It's off the beaten path for sure, and not pretty inside or out (beware the bathroom!), but if you're looking for a family owned restaurant that will absolutely satisfy your hunger for Italian fare, you'll find it here.More
