2025 Edit: I appreciated the calmly measured response to my older review and decided to come back. We tried the new Detroit-style pizza and got one of salads and the quality has VASTLY improved. The Detroit pie was wicked good, nice and fluffy. The salad greens were fresh and it was stuffed to the brim with veggies, cheese and bacon. We had zero leftovers. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more things, if the quality keeps up I'll bump my review up to 5 stars.
The bad:
We used to really enjoy the salads specifically, but as of late the quality of the greens has been poor. and the pizza crust has been bland and cardboard-y. The last few times I ordered salad most of the greens have been wilted.
We have had a few orders get lost in translation (ingredients missing, order items not included when we pick up the food, etc.).
The good:
The little sitting area with picnic tables outside is very nice and the staff is extremely friendly. The younger man who manages the restaurant is lovely and they used to use (or at least advertise the use of) local products. It's great to have a local restaurant in the Carolina area as it is lacking in similar businesses.
Overall:
Unfortunately I think that this pizza shop has struggled to regain quality since the pandemic. I understand the staffing challenges and struggles that come with the territory, but the quality has been sliding to the point where I'm finding it harder to justify spending the money. I want to give these folks the benefit of the doubt, and I want to support local small business because the heart is there and there's lots of potential, but for the time being I cannot rate the food quality higher than just average.
