We order from here so often Im surprised they dont just automatically send food. Lol! The Caribbean Chicken Pizza, steak cheese grinder, grilled or, in my case, crispy buffalo chicken salad are favorites! I recommend them to anyone who will listen.

We have always enjoyed their pizza and grinders. First time we asked them 1 to deliver 1. If you spend 15. or more 2 ordered chicken parmesan dinner. They delivered faster than expected and the food was delicious. It is nice when you can support a local small business. Thank you.

I am obsessed with their chicken Caesar salad. The chicken is always done perfectly and there is enough for leftovers the next day. Highly recommend! Thank you! Also, the order is always ready on time if not early.
