Samantha Towe: I ordered "The Nina" and it was delicious! The ingredients are fresh and the beer selection is excellent!!
Miss Fox: The pizza is great but the line is usually long- get take out or call-ahead.
Winston Kirby: Legend has it a woman ordered a Pizza in 1851. That pizza arrived in 1991. That woman was Lilly. This is her store. Moral of the story, call ahead... Waiting times can be long.
