This restaurant was highly recommended by the concierge at our hotel, as a nearby place to walk to for good pizza. So, off we went.

The restaurant is in a small commercial plaza, and has a view of the church across the road.

An Asian server passed by and pleasantly asked if I was ok after I had requested my check twice from my server. This lady actually turned around the experience somewhat as she was quite gracious and helpful. Would I return here? More than likely not, but if you choose to go, you'll enjoy the food and hopefully will have a better...
