This was my second time dining here, so obviously I went back for a reason.

I would like to preface this review by saying, I came in at 8:30 when they close at 9 so I can slightly understand why the staff may have been frustrated. However, I work in the service industry and have been waiting tables for years and am always happy to make those extra dollars from that last table that lingers in… so not sure why this experience was so horrible.

We were immediately greeted with hostility and frustration from the waitress who gave us mid service at best. We knew exactly what we wanted to order and got our food in fast as to best work with her since we knew we were being inconvenient for coming in late.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is definitely awkward, but I knew that going in. What I did not expect was the blasting of what I can best describe as “corny Netflix romcom tv show pop rap” music. The music was so loud that I got up and asked the waitress if she could turn it down. The chef responded to me with a happy, “I would love to do that for you”. He thankfully lowered the music, but then 5 minutes later he turned it up even louder than before.

We took this as our message to leave. So, we boxed our food and did just that.

While I would love to at least give Square Pie credit for their food, our Cesar salad was subpar and our Soppressata pizza was over salted and under cooked.

Was excited about our new potentially go-to neighborhood pizza spot, but will sadly never...

We walked in at 7pm on a Thurs unaware (due to poor research on our part) that they are currently operating as takeout only. The person working the register was super helpful in helping us choose an appropriate amount of food from the menu for the four of us. We ordered two salads, a large cheese pie, a small sopressata pie and a small mushroom & spinach pie and were told it would be ready in an hour. Popped over to the nearby New Wave Cafe for a drink and wings, then picked up our order just after 8pm, right on schedule.

Pies were excellent ... gorgeous crust, light and fluffy base ... similar to focaccia. Highly recommend a plain cheese pie ... the mozzarella is layered beneath the delicious sauce which is then topped with a dusting of Parmesan. Special toppings are icing on the cake. Salads were a nice option, if that's your thing too. Plenty of food for us, with some leftovers to fight over tomorrow morning! 😂

Service was warm & welcoming. Had a lovely time meeting the two people running this place. Definitely put it on your list if you're looking for Sicilian-style...
