Eater: "Try the Prosciutto, Margherita or Soprano topped with hot capicola, sausage & pepperoni & sopressata for meat lovers. Stop in on Wednesdays for the best deal in town: buy 1 pie and get one free."

Dan: "Their selection of craft beer is the best around. Great prices. They also have a person dedicated to their impressive whiskey section. Throw in free samples and friendly service and it's the best."
Jake Smith: "If they don't have it or something comparable, it doesn't exist. This is one of the most varied liquor stores I've ever been in. Pick up a bottle of J.T.S. Brown!"
