The Rock Island Pizza — Restaurant in Washington

We dined on the patio area because it was a lovely sunny October day. we ordered the shrimp and garlic pizza and ask for it to come in the box so we didn't have to change it to a to go box since we knew we wouldn't finish it and they were happy to do it. One of the best custom pizzas we have had. we asked for some extra sauce and they brought it out in a bowl which made us think it was a bowl of soup. Nope, just a very generous bowl of sauce. we liked that they had some games to offer and we played some trivia while we ate. 1 * off for having the TV on inside with a really annoying TV show and commercials playing loudly.

The guy not only made it right but made the effort to make sure we were completely satisfied, refilling our pitcher of beer on the house. For this reason I'm posting this review. Its refreshing to see someone who truly tries to make things right. I live 3000 miles from here but if I come back around I would hop the ferry just to eat here again.
