My first time here after seeing the menu at the car wash up the street; it's kinda late and I'm not up for fast food so I thought I'd give it a try.
When I got inside the place was pretty empty - just one guy sitting at a table - but it was already 8:45 and they close at 9 (sign says). I knew I wanted to get my food to go and get home so no big deal. I was greeted by a gentleman who told me someone would be right with me; after a minute a lady came over to take my order. Places my order with no problem and went to sit down. As I turned around a couple came in to sit down to eat and they were promptly told "we're closed!" This is kind of a turnoff for me - the hours say 9, the open sign is still lit. I've been a server before and always hate that last table that arrives 1 minute before closing time, but it's the service industry life - you take care of people. It sucks but you never know - could be a great tip, could become regulars, could mean that when people see others in your store then more start to come in and join them.
On to my food.... it came out quickly - less than 10 minutes wait. I ordered the spicy meatball Parmesan grinder and a small antipasto salad with the "homemade ranch." The grinder had 4 giant meatballs that are either really homemade or they're really good convenience product. The sandwich is cut on top and stuffed rather than split down the side, keeping by the sauce and meatballs in place.
The small antipasto salad was adequate for two people and topped with pepperoncini, sliced black olives, tomatoes, cucumber, sliced red onion (way too many onions!!) and a stack of deli meat and cheese. It was ok, certainly nothing special. There was probably one or two slices of each meat and a little provolone cheese, rolled up and then kinda sorta sliced - but not cut through so it really just felt like a giant string of meat. It needed more cheese, and would have been better if the meat was a little thicker to give it that meaty consistency. The lettuce was iceberg - nice and crispy - but way too wet. I appreciate that they washed it, but the bottom of my salad was swimming in water.
All in all I'd go back. I'll let you know how I like...

Read moreRustica Pizzeria has officially ruined all other pizza for me—in the best way possible. Their pizza is next level—crispy crust, insanely flavorful sauce, and toppings that taste like they were just picked or prepped moments ago. Everything is unbelievably fresh, and you can taste the difference in every bite. And let’s talk about their homemade ranch—I could write a love letter to it. Creamy, perfectly seasoned, and made in-house, it’s the kind of ranch that you dream about long after the meal’s over. Dip your crust in it, drizzle it on your pizza—just trust me. The staff here are just as fantastic as the food. Super friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You can tell they care about every dish and every customer. Whether you're a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Rustica Pizzeria is officially my go-to, and I’m already planning my...
