Know that this is a pizza dive bar going in, but sometimes dive bars turn out to be a diamond in the rough. Not this time, but perhaps this was a particularly challenging weekend. A new bartender was left to fend for herself while the person in charge seemed more interested in her power over the new bartender rather than providing educational training the new employee. We ordered a Caesar salad was good and the dressing was anchovy-free and delicious. Pizza crust is thin style, which we like, and we ordered 18” pizzas.

Just really unfriendly and off-putting service. I might go back again because honestly the pizza is excellent, but if the service is as rude as it has been the last two times, my next visit will be my last. It's not like I can't find good pizza elsewhere, and I want some sense as a customer that my business is...
