Food and prices are okay. There is also a great selection of wines to buy and take home, including Armenian wines.
I might have given this place a slightly better rating, had it not been for the chat with the owner at the end of the night, which left me gutted.
When I mentioned the Armenian genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Turks in 1915, the owner denied that the Turks were responsible for killing the Armenians and offered instead an interesting new hypothesis: the "Israelis" "made" the Turks persecute the Armenians.

I was a bit unimpressed by the choice of pizza, not that there were too few, on the contrary, but because they were as you'd find in every other place. I like pizza suggestions, novelty, to try tastes I haven't tried before. I didn't have that here. But the pizzeria is...
