I am serious when it comes to pizza I like so I order around until I find the best in the area even if it’s not my favorite. Let me tell you how happy I am that I found this place. The pizza is extremely delicious, perfect sauce, perfect amount of cheese, nice crispy thin crust. Mozzarella sticks are also really good. I asked for extra marinara and side of ranch and they aren’t stingy let me tell you lol. I got 3 cups of marinara, a large cup of ranch and an extra small cup of ranch. I’m usually disappointed when I ask for extra sauces, either I don’t get them at all or it’s a really small amount. Everyone working was really nice to me when I picked my food up and you can tell they care what they serve. 100% my favorite I’ve eaten in a really long time.

This is the next day, wanted to add that omg it is so good reheated too! Didn’t lose any flavor, actually added it! I am such a fan now that I’m going to beg my husband to let me order...

Been coming here for years and just had an experience that was so great I had to leave a 5 star review.

First of all, they have an awesome menu, with tons of options, decent deals, and upon inspection - clearly fresh ingredients. Lots of variety which I enjoy too. From chipotle style bowls, to creative vegetarian sandwiches, they’ve got options. I appreciate the quality of the food and their typical attention to detail too. No complaints from me after years of patronage. The staff is truly excellent as well, both friendly and kind.

Recent experience - the staff went above and beyond for me just the other day when I was running very late to pickup my food due to excessive traffic. I knew my cheesesteak sub was suffering and the bread likely turning to mush after sitting so long, and so I reached out to see if they could put my sub on a fresh roll (offered to pay for it of course) and these awesome folks made me a FRESH order, even added fries and gave me BOTH to take home, no added charge. I was very impressed. You won’t find spots like this very often. 5 stars from this...

The pizza at this establishment is nothing short of exceptional! Though its location may be somewhat tucked away, this only adds to its charm as a "hidden gem" (at least in my opinion) here in Elkridge. The pizza itself offers a delightful balance of components: a generous amount of good tasting quality cheese, a well-executed dough with just the right texture, and a flavorful sauce. However, from my perspective, the sauce leaned slightly too sweet and bold for my liking, but my girlfriend found it to be an ideal complement, both in taste and texture.

As for the French fries, while the portion size was ample and satisfying, I personally found them to be overly salty. My girlfriend, however, felt they were perfectly seasoned and enjoyed them more than I did. Her enthusiasm for the fries certainly suggests they were a standout for her.

In short, this place offers a fantastic culinary experience, with minor subjective variations in taste that ultimately do not detract from the overall quality of the meal! Will definitely be coming back here to try their...
