I like the owner but quality is going down hill. I went to get their mushroom and sausage pizza which is one of my favorite pizzas in a 50 mile radius and mold was all over both sausage and mushroom pizza which were made a week before, I alerted the woman in the kitchen but she didnt seem too concerned although she did offer to make a pizza at regular price but I declined feeling like a burden at 7PM. I went back and seen a Reuben style pizza, which I have never had but sounded great, but again the majority of the cheese was molded on the pizza and again the woman didn't seem too worried and defended why the cheese was moldy and that "it just getz like that" as if to convince me to stop bringing her moldy pizzas and buy one but I have worked for pizza places and in the kitchen at more places that serve food and I know cheese doesnt just "get like that" unless it was touched by bacteria covered hands and/or is too old. I responded and told her it might not be the most horrible for most people but it is dangerous to the young and old or anyone with lower immune system and she seemed offended and not concerned that I brought this up. I ended up paying full price for a fresher pizza that was mold free but had seen another covered in mold but at that point it was obvious the woman in the kitchen did not care so I didn't point it out. It worries me almost half thier pizzas were covered in mold, I regularly get pizza for me and my 62 year old mom, and 90 year old grandmother and this could make them both sick if it already hasn't, who knows how many times I have purchased furry cheese pizza...

I like this place and stopped in on my way through nearly every time. But there's a mask mandate in place and not one employee was wearing a mask (even in the deli) and not even a sign asking patrons to do so either. The people out front drinking beer added a nice touch too. It's probably going to be a long time before I return here. I hope I caught them on a bad day or something but with all the derision over masks, and a background in healthcare, I'm not willing to take the chance. This is a pandemic, not a...

Cute little store in a very small township therefore they are very high priced. I only shop here when I desperately need something and don't have time to run 30 min into...
